Phenom II x4 965 stock voltages and temps - What should they Be?

Evening Peeps
Just installed a Phenom II 965 with my Hyper 212 evo and the idle temp is 31 deg which at first thought is a bit high. I THINK i used enough paste and used Arctic MX-4.
My old phenom 9650 was 22 deg idle, and i would expect it to be a little higher due to the faster speed.
Now i had a quick look at the voltage and from what i can remember ( it was a quick look ) and it seems to be 1.4v. The Bios settings are all at default as i dont plan to OC.
Shouldn't this voltage be a little lower than that, which i turn will reduce my temps.
Had a good search and from what i gather it should be 25deg on a stock cooler and even less on a 212. The voltage should be lower as well.
Can anyone please advise Thanks.

Checked the voltage when i got home and it was 1.475 stock.
Put the voltage down to 1.375 and the temp dropped to 26 deg. Result.
However,
Its now idling at 38deg, Ran prime for 5 mins and temp got to 50deg
Been checking youtube for applying cpu paste and it looks like i have done it right.
not sure now. Might have to reseat the heatsink anyways

Been sitting with this for a few days and while playing Skyrim, it barely hits 41% and that is pretty good for me.
