A while ago I replaced a suspect 300watt Antec power supply with a new 400watt Antec. At the same time I also upgraded my mobo from a dead A7M266 to a A7V333 and traded Windows 98SE in for Windows 2000. After getting the machine up and running I noticed that my 1.33 T-bird was idling at 48+ rather then 42-43. The rest of the machine is basicly the same, so I figured it was a difference in the two mobo's temperature reporting.
Recently I took a look at my Voltages and was a bit surprised
+12 is at 12.992
+5 is at 4.972
+3.3 is at 3.264
Vcore fluctuates betwean 1.792 and 1.808
I checked my BIOS settings, and the Vcore was automaticly set to 1.75volts. Setting it to 1.75 manually didn't change the voltage it was coming up as.
Tommorow I'm going to try setting the Vcore with the jumpers, but I have a fealing that 1.75 is going to keep turning up as 1.8. Is there some way to curb the output of the PSU? The machine is getting unusaly hot during gaming(54c max, it used to be 47).

Descent, because gravity is highly over-rated.
