Low vcore on i5-2500K?

[996GT2]

Even during prime95, CPU-Z (the sandy bridge preview version) is only showing 1.068v on the CPU.

I have voltages set to "Auto" on my Gigabyte P67A-UD3 board and have the multiplier set to 42. Turbo mode is disabled.

Is this low of a voltage normal? Does the Auto setting automatically increase/decrease max CPU voltage depending on how high the overclock is?

define the voltage next boot with what cpuz or hwmon says.

let us know

Cpuz is still probably reading it incorrectly. I'm not sure if the new one is out yet

Edit - Here ya go

Yeah, I was using that version of CPU-Z that you linked, is it still incorrect?

your CPU is sucking down less power and running cooler and so something must be wrong

For reference here:

2500K
45x multiplier
100.3 Mhz BCLK

Min V: 1.01V
Max V: 1.33V

996, what batch # do you have>?

clarkdale did 4.0 at stock voltage (~1.10v) no problem, so i would assume this would be true for SB as well.
