Default Vcore voltage variation ok?

As is obvious from these two pictures, my Vcore is not very steady. This one is too high and this one is too low.

Should I look into getting another PSU? This one hasn't given me any trouble so far, but I havn't really overclocked anything much. If I should get another one, what one would you suggest based on my system now and the fact that I plan on getting a DX10 card when they come out?

I have the Vcore set at 1.450, but sometimes it can go as high as 1.5 or as low as 1.4, as show in the second shot. Those two shots were taken one right after the other, just as an example of how much it was changing. I'm scared that it's just too much.

I do not think it is anything to worry about. I get a little fluctuation in my vcore as well. I think it is normal with CPUz especially during idle.

If the variation is on idle then it is ok but that much on load is bad and i would look at upgrading your psu
