Hi all! I've been reading this forum for long and today I found something "strange" in my CPU voltage so I thought I could ask here for advice.

First off all, sorry for my English, it's not my native language and I haven't written it for 3 years...

The thing is, this afternoon I realised that my CPU vCore was too high (between 1.22v at 800MHz, 1.36v at 3.3GHz, and 1.46v when it hits 3.7GHz with turbo core enabled). I decided to look at my BIOS settings, and changed CPU vCore from "normal" to "-0.1v" to see if the CPU could work with lower voltage, and after that the vCore was 1.36v when I boot windows, 1.12v and 800MHz, and 1.17v at 3.3GHz running Prime95 for half an hour (I kept looking at the screen all 30 minutes and vCore stayed at 1.17v all time).

What I don't understand is, my CPU used to work at 1.36v/3.3GHz, I reduced it by 0.1v, and now it works at 1.17v. (How is it possible?)

Some specs:

CPU: AMD Phenom II 1100T X6 3.3Ghz (Stock, turbo core up to 3.7GHz enabled)
CPU cooler: Artic Cooler Freezer 13 (cheap one, I know, I'll get a better one when I feel I need to overclock)
MB: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7 AM3+ (BIOS F5)
PSU: Corsair GS700 Gaming Series 700W
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD6950 1GB GDDR5 (Stock)
RAM: 2x2GB G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 1600MHz
