CPUZ doesn't read C2D voltages correctly and AFAIK CoreTemp uses the same code CPUZ uses to read them.

The programs read what the sensors report just fine, unfortuneatly, the sensors are useless.

Unless you have a mobo or PSU problem, the value you set in the BIOS should be real close to the real value, grab a multimeter from somewhere if you want to check.

You can get a cheap one for like 10$

Do you really need 1.4V to boot your E6300 @ 2.66?
