Hey guys, i thought i should register here so i could try and find some answers as ive not been sure if the info ive found else where applys to me exactly so here goes. I just built my first rig, owned a few pc's before but they were built by others as i had no clue at the time, my hardware is as follows:
ASUS M5A990X EVO R2.0
Phenom X4 965 BE (RB-C3 revision)(Stock Cooling)
Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB DDR3 PC3-12800C9 running at 1333mhz atm says 1600mhz (but ive read that that requires me to manually change to)
Sapphire Radeon 7770 vapor-x
OCZ 650w bronze PSU
So i've been trying to learn some stuff about my components and i was finding mainly that the vcore for a phenom 965 BE is around 1.35v to 1.4v stock i believe at 3.4ghz, my confusion comes from the fact as on auto with everything stock i havent touched the bios my vcore is 1.45 in cpu-z and bios and core temp has my VID at 1.475, which i though was the hard wrote value that the CPU asks for from the manufacturer (i could be wrong) and all in all this seems excessive for the chip i have, idle temperatures range from 33-35c and under full load prime 95 i hit 59-60c after around 10minutes all on stock cooling, should i just leave it be at auto as this is correct for my chip or has something happened and i should try manually setting my voltage lower and seeing how it goes from there, ive read alot of motherboards over volt but this seems quite large and the VID is 1.475. Sorry if its a little long winded or wrote poorly im still a beginner when it comes to expressing myself with more technical details thanks in advance for any help PS, i do get some slightly high pitched scratching from around the cpu area cant tell if its a fan noise or a electronic noise and im not even sure its a problem but thought it may be due to voltages or current of some sort.
