Comment:

Is it normal for the CPU Core Voltage to vary? During the course of an hour mine varied form 1.41 to 1.52 with 1.49 being seen most of the time.

Yes, my Athlon 64 3500+ and my server's X2 4400+ both vary, but just as in your case, only by slight quirks. Nothing can really guarantee a stream of voltage is going to be pristine and solid. It will always vary, due to things like crosstalk, noise, quality of media, etc. I wouldn't worry about it unless it starts fluctuating from voltage levels such as from 1.41 to 1.99... then I would begin to panic that your voltage regulators on either your CPU or mobo are failing.
