Help OC My X2 4000. Huge Voltage Jump

[AVAFREAK182]

Well I just got my new AMD system up and going. I am starting to overclock it. I have the bios set to 1.45V for the CPU. CPU says 1.488 at idle, which is fine. But when I start Orthos, after just 2 seconds the voltage jumps to like 1.53. Thats not right, is it? Also, I am on a Biostar TForce 550 SE.

Here are the screen shots.

Any input is very much so appreciated.

As I mentioned in another thread, with an AMD X2 3800+, in a Biostar NF4 mobo, the default CPU vcore is 1.35v, but under load it rises to 1.4v. Must be something in the design of the biostar mobos.

Not that I would worry about 1.53v as my 3800+ is stable OC'd to 2.82Ghz at 1.54v; however, it is a 90nm Windsor and not a 65nm Brisbane. Weird that it increases under load though, must be Biostar thing like VirtualLarry mentioned. 3.15Ghz -- nice OC though, voltage oddities and all.

that overclock is out of control! Very nice man,

I thought mine was heft at 2.6 with the same processor
