Is my CPU behaving abnormally?

[timelessdaze]

Hello again, in the process of monitoring my hardware troubleshooting what I suspect to be a GPU issue, I noticed on my gigabyte hardware monitor that my cpu is running at less than 1 volt at idle, going as low as .78V. Granted this is at a very low speed ~900Mhz, but I was under the impression that the core voltage should remain consistent no matter what. Running a burner at full 4100 Mhz it stays consistent at 1.104V. Is this change in voltage normal or a cause for concern? My cpu is an Intel 4770k i7 OC @ 4.1, PSU is a thermaltake SP-850M 850W so I'm certain that my power supply is up to the task as well

It is normal, it is built into the power management to drop the volts at idle to save energy.

Thanks! I was getting worried that I might have an under voltage problem
