default voltage of e4500 too high?!!

[ibs137]

hi guys,

i got a brand new revision m0 e4500 on a msi p35 neo2 mobo

i go into cpu-z and the core voltage is 1.325V with no OCing!! tested with orthos and was stable.

just to get it orthos and OCCT stable @ 2.7 ghz, i had to raise the cpu voltage to 1.375!

what is wrong?? arent these numbers too high?? my friend has a e6600 @ 3.2 ghz @ default voltage! (1.184v or something)

i am on stock fan with idle temps of 25 - 30C, at load it is 50C

pls help!!

Have you tried lowering it? Or is it simply not stable at lower vcore? It's entirely possible you got a lemon cpu.

Make sure it's not the motherboard or the ram that's causing errors.
