Why is my voltage set too high?

[why hello]

Whenever I play a game or launch something intensive, the voltage shoots up to 1.440 volts on my AMD Athlon X4 750k,my motherboard is gigabyte f2a88xm-d3h. I want it to be operating at 1.35v when I launch something intensive because that's the stock voltage and my temps are too high. How would I go about doing this? Also I am not planning to overclock

Get in the bios and set the voltage control to manual, then you can set the vcore.

I really don't want to touch the BIOS because I is too chicken to be messing around there. Is there any way one can set it from the desktop? But if I have to, I will

did your motherboard come with any overclocking software. you might be able to do it from there or at least set to factory defaults.

Yes from the motherboard product page, there is this utility called EasyTune6 but I don't know how to set the voltage from there.

open up the program and see if you set default settings. It may already be installed on your computer
