Okay, so I was looking at my CPU temps (with sandra) and seen that it was idling at around 51 degrees celcius. I dont know alot about normal CPU temps, but this seemed unacceptable. I started looking up some temps and stumbled across the core voltage... in CPU review, it said that the default core voltage is supposed to be 1.75, but they tried it at 1.6 and appearantly it was solid, and should lower the CPU temps. So I look at Sandra, and it says my core voltage is 1.83! I checked my BIOS, and it says the same thing (but it seemed to float changing from 1.82 to 1.83 and back and forth).
Am I somehow reading the wrong numbers, or is my CPU (Duron 1.2) running a oddly high core Voltage?
I have a Thermaltake Slim Volcano 10+ copper HS and the 2800rpm fan that came with it. There is also 2 coolermaster 80mm case fans, the one in the front drawing cool air in, and one in the back blowing air out.
