cpu at 1.4 volt

[Shane]

okay guys most of you may be aware of my cpu temp problem.

im now thinking they could be because my cpu is running at 1.42 volts

i want into the BIOS and manualy selected 1.325v and hit F10 to save changes and it booted but when i look back on everest or Pc wizard its gone back to 1.4 volts


whats happening?

I would trust the voltage that my BIOS says rather than software. Check your BIOS again and report back with what it says.

Hi,

Just checked back in the Bios and it wasy 1.325 for the cpu voltage so it appears both everest and pc wizard is wrong so you were right.

i noticed that Intel Speedstep is disabled,i know that enableing it adjust processor voltage and core frequency, which can result in decreased average power consumption and decreased average heat production so do you think i should enable it?

i mean afterall,if it will make my system use less power when its not needed i think this is a good thing.

also hopefully it would reduce temps.

should i enable it?

You could try it out. Your temperatures aren't horrible, but they're not the greatest. You should begin to worry when they start to exceed 60+.

okay il enable it and see how it goes

I have my CPU @ 1.31v at 2.8Ghz if that helps...
