3570K stock voltage?

[PowerPie5000]

I run my 3570K at stock speeds and have all the voltage and ratio options set to 'auto' in the bios... The CPU seems to idle at around 1.080V and reaches upto 1.250V under load. Are these normal voltages for this chip as i can't find any info on what the stock idle/load voltages are supposed to be? My motherboard is a Biostar TH67XE flashed with the latest bios, but these are similar voltages to the i5 2500 chip i had installed previously.

Can anyone tell me the difference between 'SPEC', 'FIXED' and 'OFFSET' voltage modes in the bios regarding the CPU? The default mode in the bios is set to 'SPEC' voltage.

Cheers

Anyone know what the voltage range should be for a 3570k running at stock speeds?

There isnt a single stock voltage for the chips, intel bin the cpus and by that I mean they test them to x setting and set the voltage that that cpu requires to reach that frequently

The stock range is between 0.2500 and 1.5200 depending on load. Most do seem to settle around the 1.1 to 1.2 mark on load but not always
