I just recently built a new system with an Athlon 64 2800+. The normal Vcore is 1.5V as indicated by the BIOS (default). But using Everest & CPU-z, it says my cpu Vcore voltage is around 1.53V-1.57V jumping back and forth. But shouldn't it be less than 1.5V? I had a P4 which Vcore's also 1.5V, but it was usually shown up as 1.47V-1.49V. But then again I guess it's okay for this Athlon?
Here's what I usually notice in CPU-Z. My multiplier is at 9x and my voltage is usually around 1.55V or so (this is when Cool'n'Quiet off. I never had it on either). Only when it is with C'n'Q turned on, then it will drop to 1.13V or so because of the technology used. But without it, I guess my board seems to be overvolting a little bit. Is this bad? It's a new system and I'm beginning to get worried.
