Do you have a motherboard utility that reads voltage as well? I'd be more inclined to read that one over cpuz.

What are the settings in the BIOS for voltage?

Well it was set to auto but now i have manually set it to 1.3V and that seems to have brought it down in line with the other photo from some ones review...
