I just upgraded from a 2.4C to a 3.2e SL7E5 on my P4C800-E Deluxe (droop modded). When I went into the 1019 BIOS to set the voltage, I noticed that the minimum voltage option was 1.37v. The voltage spec on the Intel web site says the range for the CPU is 1.25-1.4 volts.

Is this a normal/correct minimum for this BIOS on my MB? I would think that I would be able to get the lower voltage options.
 
Yup...that is totally normal. What intel is saying is that the "range" for the 3.2E is between 1.25 - 1.4. Having your default vCore @ 1.37v is totally acceptable. See how far you can push that chip on Auto Vcore and let us know. :p
 
Okay. Just wanted to make sure. I played with it last night and was able to get to 250fsb with no sweat. Tonight I'll see how high I can OC. Obviously I won't be able to get to 292fsb like I could with my 2.4c, but it'll fun trying...
