i have Hmonitor installed
WhiteKnight, not sure what a Hmonitor is but assume it monitors temps and maybe voltages. 55 to 62 degrees isn't bad for on-die (read from diode within the CPU) temperatures. From their level that would appear to be the case. A 1900+ has on-die capability so it depends on whether your motherboard (mobo) or Hmonitor can use them or not.

Vcore is the voltage being applied to the CPU, it is normally set in the bios. On my Epox 8k3a+ mobo the default is 1.75V (most likely defined by AMD specs) so maybe your reading is normal for your mobo. Also there will be some slight variation due to the PSU (power supply) accuracy and mobo ability to control it. I'm slightly overclocked and have Vcore set to 1.85V (set in the bios). I'm using MBM5 and it reads a Vcore of 1.82 to 1.84V.

My temps, which are read on-die from my 2100+, range around 55C (no load) to 66C (full load) at an ambient of ~33C. Quite similar to yours. Should note that I'm running a AX7 HSF with a 50cfm Thermaltake 80mm fan so since this is a pretty good air cooling setup it may off set my higher Vcore.

Hope this helps a little.
