1.80V??

i just got an 800mhz tbird and was wondering why my temps where hovering around 55 degrees at full load when i noticed in sisoft sandra that my core voltage was 1.80v, its the same thing in the software that came with my motherboard, i haven't touched anything to change the voltage, and i always thought that the voltage should be at 1.75v, does this mean that my cpu was tampered with or something, is there any way i could check for this

SiSoft from what I raed is not that accurate.

its a gigabyte board and the gigabyte system monitor software also says 1.8v, is there anything else i can check it with

a 0.5 discrepency isn't that much..my abit mb voltage varies by that amount all the time..it wont hurt your cpu.. btw, i use motherboard monitor for volt/temp

I have come across the same thing..these mobo monitars seem to add abit to the number..my old asus a7v, always read vcore as 1.90, when I had it set to 1.85

My MSI K7T Turbo-R also have the same issue, bios (ver.2.5) set 1.675 Vcore, PC Health in bios detect same Vcore:1.675. While go into Win ME
PC Alert III(msi hardware monitor software) Show 1.82 Vcore. When set the maximum Vcore to 1.800, u got 1.94 Vcore. What the PC Alert III detect is the correct Vcore, cause the temp raise up after the Vcore increase.
