High vcore reading with Athlon xp 1600 on Asus A7V266.

[Metalloid]

My motherboard monitor program is detecting my vcore at 1.824 even though I have it at 1.75 in BIOS. Could explain my 48c idle and 53c full load temperatures. Anyone no how to fix this?

Anyone know?

If I'm not mistaken, a lot of mobo manufacturers bump up the vcore by about .5v now by default. Not sure how or why this started, but they do.

Wouldnt I be able to change the vcore from their setting in BIOS though? I have mine set in BIOS at 1.75 but it still reads 1.824

Its definetly an Asus PC Probe monitor problem. I upped the vcore to 1.775 in BIOS and the monitor picks it up as 1.84, and also my idle temp is up to 51c. Is my monitor just reading everything too high?

So, is it just my motherboard monitor, or is my system screwed up?

I have an Asus board and when I set the Voltage in bios it always reads .05v higher also. ie set in bios to 1.75 reads 1.75 in bios. but Motherboard Monitor reports it as 1.79. Guess they figure a little extra juice just make there board seem even more stable especially for people who normally just run at stock.
