AMD Athlon II X4 630 running at 1.568V?

Hey guys,
I'm getting a 1.568V core voltage on my processor looking at it through CPU-Z. It's supposed to be 1.4V stock. I've only upped the bus speed to 210MHz from 200MHz as far as over clocking goes. I can't figure out why it's so high. That can't be a healthy voltage.

Edit: I restored it to no overclocking and I'm getting 1.576V core voltage now... Even higher!

CPU-Z has been known to give false voltage readings. You can go into your bios and and see what your motherboard is reading as your voltage. It should be noted that CPU-Z isn't normally off by that much, so maybe you should remove CPU-Z completely and re-install and see if your getting the same readings.

I did both of your guys' suggestions and I'm still getting 1.575V.

There is no where in my BIOS to change the CPU voltage.

This is my system:

My system:
ECS BLACK SERIES GF8200A (V1.0) AM2+/AM3 NVIDIA GeForce 8200 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
XFX HD-485X-ZDFC Radeon HD 4850 1GB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 OCZ StealthXStream OCZ700SXS 700W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply

I've found a lot of my CPU overclocking/settings are locked because I have a 630 Propus and not a black edition processor.

Also, in my BIOS it says it's running at 1.408V. But still, thats a huge read difference from CPUZ. Should I still be concerned?

You had a lot more options in the BIOS because your CPU was a "BE." Mine is not, and therefore I don't get to control voltages.

All I have in the BIOS is the Memory voltage, HT voltage, NB voltage, CPU Mhz. Nothing for CPU voltage.

I believe Cool & Quiet is enabled, yes.

Looks like some problem in the Vcore reading then. What about your temperatures? If your processor temperature is within normal operating range and you don't experience any problem with stability, then I guess you have less to worry about.

Just try to lower the overclock a bit, say 3.2Ghz & see if it will stabilize. It will be nice if you got it stable at 3.2Ghz given that you do not have the ability to adjust voltage in your mobo.
