HELP! Question About VCore!!

[hwl]

i have Ep8k7a running with my 1.2 athlon. my first problem is that it is getting too hot (60C) so i ordered a new exhaust fan to better my air flow. and the second thing is i that VCore is 1.80v, which seems to be the maximum value for the Vcore. on other peoples machines it doesnt seem that high. is this a bad thing? having a vcore that high? if yes, how can i fix it??
please help! Thanks in advance!!

The vcore value looks ok. the default should be 1.75 but the mobo either puts it at 1.79 ot reports at 1.79..

I have the same mobo and cpu running at 48C(full load). 60C is kinda high, what kind of hsf are you using and are you overclocking it??

i just got a variable speed fan from bestbyte and the temp droped to about 42 without any load and to about 50 with full load. i have the globalwin hsf and i guess the problem was that i needed an exhaust fan. and I dont know how to overclock.. yet.. But thanks for your reply~
