What does it mean if Sisoft Sandra tells you your CPU is

[forumposter32]

I think it said 1.49V voltage for the CPU. I checked it later it was 1.47V (I think).

Sandra sucks...don't worry about it. You are fine.

Motherboards tend to undervolt or overvolt the CPU a little bit. It's normal

LOL, I did notice some funny messages like: "Your motherboard can support a more powerful CPU, so upgrade". Like whatever! I have a 3400+. I'm not paying more just to get a 3700+. They say the Newcastle core can overclock easier and is compatible with more RAM.

I don't need to overclock anyway. I kind of wanted to "hear" myself say that, but now it's true. I can max out the settings in UT2004 no problem.

Heh. they told me I overvolted my venice...

2.72 Ghz
1.62v

Why shouldn't I overvolt it?

Dude, I've tried to understand how to overclock and I don't get it. That's why I got the 3400+ 2.4 GHz and not a 3000+ 1.8 GHz.
