Hi! I bought a new Evga 8800GTX. Everything runs fine, but after istalling Nvidia monitor, i noticed that the voltage was marked red. And it says if its red the card receives too much voltage and may be damaged :( Data: cpu-1,400V memory-1,900V. What is the problem here? Is it really dangerous? Any solutions? I got the latest drivers and brand new pc.

Amd athlon x2 6000+ 3ghz
asus m2n32 Motherboard
2gb memory
550W PSU
Win XP SP2 32bit

Thanks!

Don't worry about those.

If the cpu isn't overclocked, the vcore should be 1.35v-ish.

The ram voltage default is 1.8v. So 1.9v is your ram's rated voltage?
