Possible voltage issues with 2.66 on GA-8INXP

Hi all-

I'm getting ready to start the overclock on the 8INXP and wanted to get my voltage and temp readings before I start. In the bios I get the following readings with the P4 2.66 at stock speed:

Vcore= 1.61??
Vcc15= 1.6
+3.3=3.29
+5= 5.16
+12= 11.97
cpu idle temp= 37-39C

In MBM I get:
core0 (cpu?)= 1.52
core1= 1.6
+3.3= 3.28
+5= 4.08???
+12= 11.43???
cpu temp= 34-38c

Has anyone been getting weird reading like these with their GA-8INXP and MBM or in their bios readings? Does the vcore in the bios have a problem and give high readings? I'd like to figure this out before I starting putting the OC on the rig and possibly do some damage. The power supply is an Antec 400w. I haven't seen any signs of low voltage, although I'm not sure what they would be, but it has been stable thus far at stock settings.

your vcore voltage looks normal for those boards, these boards overvolt like the Asus boards. Just dont let the vcore go above 1.7V if ya want to keep your CPU long.

caboob-

What voltages and temps are you getting on your #1 rig/ 8INXP and the 2.4@3.11? Do you use MBM with that setup? What vcore do you need to get to 3.11?

Thanks for any info on this

MBM is likely wrong...the core 0 is most likely the agp voltage and core 1 is cpu...

Te asus mobos overvolt .08 so 1.525 of a c1 + .08 and you have 1.6-1.61v....makes finding max stable cpu at default a real guess and not as accurate, but oh well!!!

Those 5v and 12v are so low they would have carshed the pc with little use of a program like 3dmark or prime95...
