+3.3 3.43
+5 5.08
+12V 12.6

PC Probe seams fine but Speed Fan ratings look bugged to me.

Are you facing any issues?

^^pls share the kind of issues i may face. Another digitian says i am going to kill my proccy by seeing the SPEEDFAN readings. so u know i do not want to take any chance. i got scared and posted this.

another qn : 955 ,965,975 & 980 BE all are having different stock SPEED. But do they have different stock heatsink fan also? or AMD is giving all the same heatsinks to them?

avoid speed fan. instead use H/W monitor. speedfan readings are highly inaccurate.

just look at the marked row. this will show max & minimum Vcore.

most likely, same cooler is used by them & with almost same voltage.

JUST INSTALLED AMD OVERDRIVE.see the readings

so 955 if overclocked to 975 then no need of 3rd party cooler.

if the stock cooler can hold. some PII can't even cool the stock processor whereas some can allow a good overclocking.

@op,
those bios values are fine.but you posted that speed fan rating which were too bad.thats why i asked are you going to kill your processor. don't worry you are fine.

Speedfan has always been buggy.

That's why I never use Speedfan - use HWMonitor or HWinfo instead ;-)

BTW, the CPU core temps OverDrive is showing - is it idle or load cpu temp ? IF it's idle can you post the load cpu temps.
