Hey everyone,

I bought an HP pavillon recently for my dad because it was 250$ at bestbuy. Everything as been running smootly since (2 months).

Running CPU-Z for fun i got the biggest surprise. The processor is running on 2.6 V!!!!

I went in the BIOS and, as expected, no way to change anything...

I ran Core Temp and temps are 26-27 at Idle.

Is it a bug in CPU-Z. I tend to think that the processor at that Vcore would not even boot...

Advice?

yeah there is something wrong somewhere. try reinstalling to the newest version of CPU-z if you haven't already. If it still says it, then yes it is an error, because that would destroy a CPU.

If it has been running smoothly and staying that cool, I think you are raising concern over nothing.

If I'm not mistaken the E2220 is not a common model, but one only used in retail pc sales, which would make it a low priority to be compatible with for CPU-Z so don't worry about it, any modern processor running at 2.6 vCore and you would know (breakfast on a heatsink anyone?)

^E2200 is available on Newegg, but most don't use it as the E2xxx series is limited to 3.2-3.3Ghz any ways. Most use E2160/E2180.

@OP: Make sure you have the latest CPUZ. Latest is 1.48. Also just a note, I had a smiler problem with CPUZ on a Dell during the P4 era, CPUZ said the vCore was 5v, lol.

Yeah i installed it today, and it is 1.48. Must be a bug. I'm not raising concern publisher, i'm asking if this could be a bug in CPU-Z. Thanks everyone.
