Is my E5200 Core Voltage right?

I have my E5200 overclocked to 2.80GHz at default voltage right now. (I'm sure it can go much higher, but not necessary for what i do)

Everything i've read says the default voltage for this cpu is 1.2250v.

In my Gigabyte G31's bios and in CPU-Z my Core Voltage shows 1.120v.

Am i missing something or is this alright?
 
Its called vdroop.

Dumbed down definition, the board tries to put out specified amount, but some voltage is lost through the socket. It's no big deal. My Q8200 is actually at 1.168V, despite being set to 1.22V. Its not something to worry about.

Also, if my quad can be undervolted and overclocked pretty good, that E5200 should hit 3.3-3.5ghz on stock voltage.

Oh yeah, Go Blazers! 😀
