[SOLVED] i5 4460 @ 1.7 Vcore

[mrmaruniversal]

Machine: dell inspiron 3847
Selected CPU: i5 4460

Not much to explain besides this CPU is using a constant 1.726V at idle, under load, etc. (Stating to HW MONITOR & HW INFO)
This unit used a MAX of 35watts during AIDA 64 Stress Test and temps maxed out at 66C on the package.
Core VIDS maxed at 1.065 and a max frequency of 3.2 on all cores.

Did some minor research and see that this unit should be using no more than 1.4V.
Any thoughts?

Could traces be bad on the MB, Unit old? I will look into the BIOS for anything that I could change. However I will mention this machine is located in a closet and runs 24/7 for about 6-7 years now.

UPDATE AIDA 64 CPUZ INFO: Core Voltage says 1.010

I wouldn't believe those 1.7vcore readings, if the CPU has been under that kind of voltage for any lengthy period of time, it would have died already. 1.7v is crazy high for any modern CPU and will degrade a CPU very quickly.
