X2 4400 Vcore voltage

[insomniac41]

first off,
what do people set their vcore settings with dual core processors (especailly the 4400 toledo)?

and furthermore, why does my vcore never read below 1.4v even at stock... when the amd site states it should read around 1.3-1.35

it could have been set incorrectly but more likely than not your motherboard is reading the voltage incorrectly. just go into the BIOS and manually set it to 1.35v because that will be accurate.

ive set it manually as well, and it still reads 1.4v. I also have a zalman 7000B all copper cooler and for some reason my temps dont really seem to drop below 40 C. Though ive heard for this heatsink/fan i should be getting a bit lower. Just wondering if anyone has an idea.

sensors are overeading the voltage, its common for them to over/under read. as for temperatures the thermal paste has to cure and the processor has to burn in if its new then you will see a drop in temps

alright. thanks alot.
