4.0 GHz

I apologize in advance if this thread already exists, but I was unable to find anything posted that related to my problem. I seem to have extremely low voltage readings from all my monitoring programs (PC probe, OCCT, CPU-z etc.) and was wondering if this is due to my PSU sucking or something else. I have disabled C1E in bios , but my vcore still shows as being 1.19 not 1.2375 like I want. Also all my rails seem a bit low and will drop off under load (12V @ 11.8-11.3, 5V @ 4.9-4.4, 3V @ 3.1-2.6).
I have ordered a new PSU but only because I plan on upgrading to a better GPU soon (9800 GX2 ). Will a better supply help or am I being overly hopeful? Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Oh here is a link to the PSU I bought @ newegg CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX. I hope this is a good one, it had decent reviews and all.

They all use the WINBOND sensor built on the motherboard. This is inherently inaccurate since due to motherboard resistance. You need a multimeter to get real values.
i.e. Those programs tell me my +12v is running at 11.6v. My multimeter tells me it is 11.99v.

So what you're saying is that my voltage probably isn't that bad and I should go tell OCCT to shove it with monitoring voltages if my ohm-meter says its all cool?
