intel e4500 default voltage too high!?

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!!

There is no help in your case, all cpu have different voltage, so it is pure luck toget a cpu has low vid.
My e6320 needs 1.465 volt to pass 2.8GHZ and my x3210 only needs 1.225 volts pass 3.4 GHZ.
go change to another cpu is the only solution

MOBO : MICROSTAR, MS-7345
CPU : Conroe, Intel Core 2 Duo E4500
PACK : 775 LGA @ 65nm
L2 C : 2048

I was able to raise this processor to 3.2Ghz using 1.475V (One full Ghz above factory). I use 8x multiplier rather than 11x to sync with memory 1:1 and in turn FSB is raised to 400MHz Rated 1600MHz. Can't remember voltage on FSB at the moment but it's a Intel P35/G33/G31 REV. A2.

I've been running this stable for around 9 months. I tested it under load a long time ago for a few hours, ran fine. Temps are high 70s under load but I don't give a damn. I'm still using stock heat sink other than some of my friends paste.

Hope this helps.
