High voltage

[Vibos]

I'm running 2.2V on my AMD Phenom II X6 1045T. I didn't set this myself, I got it like that.

Is my CPU-Z reading it wrong? Because my CPUID Hardware monitor says the same thing.

What do I set it to, and how if it's bad for my CPU.

I'm getting 25C

Check in BIOS to see what CPU Vcore is set at should be between 1.075v - 1.375v, clock mulitplier should be 13.5, 2700MHz Fq.

I've checked my BIOS and I don't see anything related to voltage..

Motherboard: N-Alvorix-RS880-uATX

It's showing this:

By chance is your computer made by HP? If so , your BIOS may be locked.

Yep, someone just told me that. How do I unlock it?

You will have to contact HP, not sure if they will give you the information, but you can tell them what you have found out with CPU-Z, and you have concerns about the voltage that is listed and also core speed and multiplier.

I work for a HP Channel Partner and I know that monitoring software doesnt always read HP motherboards correctly. I wouild try some other software first.
for example there is HWinfo
http://www.hwinfo.com/

that is freeware and a program I use every day.
just need to pick between 32 bit and 64 bit depending on your OS
if your not sure check your C drive
if you have only one program folder then you have 32 bit
if you have two programs folders then you have 64bit
