My E5200 defaults to 1.1v

[skypilot]

From what I've seen, this chip should default to 1.2 - 1.3v, but my Biostar GF7100P-M7S motherboard thinks it should be getting 1.1V.

Anyone have experience with this?

Operating in a power-saving mode? What happens when you run a program like Prime95?

Increase by .025 volts at most when stressed, to 1.125

Is it stable at that voltage?

Run CoreTemp, see what your VID is.

Larry, coretemp says VID is 1.1625v - is this what the chip think it should be getting at stock speeds?

sounds like speedstep.

Also try Realtemp to verify with another utility.

Yes. Vdroop may account for some of the offset, but there might be something else going on here too.

Regardless, that's a pretty good VID, you have some overclocking headroom.
