Default E6400 vCore and Multi issues !

Hey there...

I posted yesterday about a BIOS issue. I have solved that one, on to the next. As they are not related I opened another thread, hope it's OK.

In BIOS my Multi is x8 and the FSB is at 266, vCore is at 1.30 This all seems normal for stock. When I open CPU'z it says the vCore is at something crazy like 2.5 and the multi switches back and forth between 6 and 8.

Speedfan (though not known for it's universal accuracy) says Core A is at 2.5 and that Core B is at 3.0 !!!!

What in the heck!?1?!?!

Any throttling apps (Cool n' Quiet) have been disabled. And I manually set the vCore in the BIOS at 1.3, FSB at 266. and multi x8.

Does anyone have any idea WTF is going on? I would like to move on to Overclocking, but not until the stock settings all jive and are where they are supposed to.

Thanks for your time and input.
