so i just setup my system

Asus M2NPV-VM
x2 4200+ (65W)
enermax venus case
1gb ram
nvidia 7900GS (gigabyte)
everything purchased from newegg

oh yeah my cooler is a thermal take cooler (all copper) with a silent 80mm fan, this was one of the reasons i bought a 65W (less noise from fans)


so my problem is that the vcore should be 1.2-1.25V thats what that cpu is advertised as, but the asus probe says its running at 1.33-1.35V which is an 89W voltage. The temps are fine, with CnQ idle is 25C and load is 43C (both cores priming). do i simply need a new bios or should i look through the current bios and manually set it to 1.25V?

does anyone have this problem? what should i do?

Well, if thats what AMD say, I would just try to set it to 1.25v in the bios. Either way, it wont hurt. Just run some stress tests after that (ie: prime 95) and make sure everything is stable. If it is, then everything is fine, if it isn't, then set it back. Easy!
