Did I receive an unexpected result here?
The CPU voltage is reported as .888 volts, while the temperature gauge reads 4.49 with a core voltage of @ 4.49 but a Vcore of .888.
During stress tests at maximum load, temperatures reach 80°C, but idle temps stay below 50°C at 4.49mhz.
Is this typical for an air-cooled setup?

I changed my mind, I believe it's a bug in the program. Look at the image to see how the two voltages differ under the motherboard and under the CPU itself.

It's a bit laggy compared to an old Z280 and even slower than the first Pentium. 4.5mhz? That's gigahertz, isn't it?

Of course he means GHz, and you know it.
To the OP: you possess a good CPU, it seems the silicon lottery favored you. Keep in mind, though, that the current situation might change, and you may need to raise the voltage later as the CPU gets older. Also, stress tests aren't always the best method for ensuring stability—you should test with real-world applications and games too.

Certainly he means GHz, and you understand it.
To the OP: you possess a decent CPU, it seems the silicon lottery favored you. Keep in mind though, the current conditions might differ, and you may need to raise the voltage later as the CPU gets older. Also, stress tests aren't always the best method for assessing stability—real-world applications and games are necessary too.
Yes, but honestly I suspect he's exaggerating. 0.88 volts? That doesn't sound right.

Yes, but honestly I suspect he's being dishonest. 0.88 volts? Unbelievable.

I can share a screenshot? I’m new to this and just overclocked my CPU yesterday.

That's what I've heard for years. Some CPUs seem to perform better than others? This is the first time I've actually worked with an unlocked CPU.
I do use FutureMark, and it now runs very smoothly. FireStrike in particular.
How can I share a picture of my desktop?

Certainly he refers to GHz, and you're right about that.
To the OP: you seem to have a good CPU, it looks like the silicon lottery favored you. Keep in mind though, the current situation might change, and you may need to raise the voltage later as the CPU gets older. Also, stress tests aren't always the best way to verify stability—real-world apps and games are necessary too.
Yes, but honestly I think he's exaggerating. 0.88 volts? That doesn't sound right.
