3.0C GHz Voltage

Hi (first post), I have a few questions that hopefully someone can answer. The first has to do with CPU voltage. I just bought a IC7-G, and in the SoftMenu I set the CPU Power Supply to "CPU Default". The thing is, when I do this, it sets the voltage to 1.475V. But as I understand it, the correct voltage for a 3.0C GHz should be 1.525V, right?

Which leads me to this question. If the voltage is indeed wrong, could it have something to do with my PSU? See, along with my CPU and IC7-G, I also purchased a Fortron 530W to go with it. Unfortunately it came damaged, so I had to RMA it. In the meantime, I'm using a Fortron 350W HiQ that was meant for my old computer. I'm worried that this PSU is inadequate to power my system, and may in fact damage it.

My full system specs are as follows (Note: I only installed essential components in order to keep power requirements down):

Abit IC7-G
P4 3.0C GHz 800MHz
512MBx2 Corsair XMS
Radeon 9800 PRO 128MB
Seagate 120GB 7200RPM SATA
Western Digital 80GB 7200RPM IDE
PCI Sound Card
4 x 80mm case fans
NB fan & stock P4 fan

And I'm not sure this is even knowable, but is there any chance Abit is going to be able to solve this temperature bug with a bios update? Version 25 didn't seem to do anything.

Abit boards tend to undervolt, your situation is perfectly normal.

this is true. The only Abit board I've ever owned that's been real close to the voltages that are set in bios is the AI7 I'm using now. when I set the bios to 1.55, I get 1.52v. However, the DDR voltage overvolts by about .2-.4v, and the AGP/NB overvolts by about .3-.5v also.

Might have to change my IS7 out for this. I think the NB and DDR voltage need to be a little higher than the IS7 offers to push the envelope
