Ok i just ran Sandra to check something, and it tells me my cpu is running lower than the reccomended voltage. So i reboot and test again, same thing. I went into bios and bumped up the Vcore (im using the DFI LP Ultra NF3 so if anyone has it i raised the Vcore from auto to 104%). All my bios settings were stock and the board is definatly rated for my chip (3400+) so i don't know how it could be running under voltage. Should i keep it like this or bump it back down to auto and disregard Sandra?

Sandra has been known to report unaccurately. Unless you are have instability problems, I would just leave the Vcore at Auto and disregard Sandra's warnings.

Even if Sandra is correct, running less than the default voltage (and therefore cooler) is a good thing.
