ES Xeons, Voltages & PC-DL HELP

I recently received ES series XEON cpus instead of production models (due to a bastard businessman). After some testing, the chips seem to be running Sandra benchmarks at reasonable speeds -- although with some degree of variation.

One person suggested that the ES chips should be multiplier unlocked -- however my BIOS options suggest that the minimum is 12 and the max is 23... I assume this means they are not unlocked -- that's fine since I don't want to overclock anyway.

My main concern is just about general stability and a warning that Sandra gives which says that the Vcore voltage is higher than the rating. I gather (from Sandra) that the voltage is supposed to be something like 1.525. When I run some diagnostics in Sandra however, I get a CPU1 voltage of 2.6 and a CPU voltage of around 3.12.

Is this a problem... am I mixing up what the v-core and these CPU voltages mean? Or am I frying my processors?

What can I do to prevent this warning in Sandra? I see nowhere in the BIOS where I can adjust voltage levels.

My bus speed is 133 and my memory is running By SPD. I see nowhere to adjust anything relating to the chips manually.


Thank you.
 
Go over to 2cpu.com in their forums there is a thread about the pc-dl it has allot of info on this board and some ideas and work around on the voltages and many other issues with this board. I have the same thing going on with mine 2.5 on one and 3.12 on the other. I have been trying to figure out what all of the temp sensors are going to also if you look in the bios there are five different temps being read and I don’t know how to get them to come up on MBM. I have been in contact with the maker of MBM and read their forums but ASUS has not gotten back to him on this No big Surprise there since they really dropped the ball on this board it has so much potential but right now the bios is in a state of pure crap . By the way their is a new pc-dl board coming down the line called the PCH-DL has 2 pci-x slots and some other thing I don’t know off hand but their is a thread their also .
