Looking good.
Cpu volts are set to 1.35v?
If so it looks like you have about .04v overvoltage,which is pretty common,but not a problem,just back the cpu volts(in the bios) down till it reads as 1.35 in cpu-z.
Both my M2N32's are about the same.eg;1.30v in bios gives me 1.344v in cpu-z.

Yes they were set to 1.35 in the bios and it was reading a little high. I did what you said and went back into BIOS and set the voltage to 1.30 and now my cpu-z reads the 1.344v like yours.

Super.

is this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113007 a non be cpu cuz i know the 125w 955 is but it looks like the 95w 955 inst a be?

Yes that is a non be. http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Phenom%20II%20X4%20955%20-%20HDX955WFK4DGM.html

Really glad I found this site. Helped me decide to upgrade my PC instead of buying new. Put in a PHII 975BE. I am still on XP SP3 and had some difficulties I thought I'd share in case it helped anyone else (You win 7 guys are so lucky):

Tried setting CPU Multipliers using nVidia Tools version 6.08 (latest I think):
Result: I could set the CPU multipliers! I selected to have the settings load at os boot. Then I rebooted to make sure it would work. CPU-Z confirmed the settings worked, however nVidia tools would only show multiplier selections for 4 and lower. I could not get this resolved and didn't find much help on google.

So I gave up on nVidia tools and tried PhenmoMsrTweaker. Very cool tool. But could not get it to load the right settings at startup. The service would be running, and simply hitting the update button OR restarting the service would kick in the settings. However, I really really wanted to boot to the settings I WANT!!!

So I tried using the version of nVidia that BigJohn used (6.05). This would not boot to the right settings either, however I found it was because it was not creating the osbootpf file. So I made one by copying a different profile.

Boots the way I want now. Don't I feel like a king!!

If anyone one knows what I could do to get PMT to boot right, I'm listening, cause I like it a lot better than nVida. Was thinking maybe there was another service I could list as a dependency to make sure its loading later in the start-up process, but wasn't sure which one made sense. Thoughts?

Neither NVT nor PMT can actually boot the machine at the higher speed. The OS has to be up and then they will kick in.

In the case of PMT, you want to install it with the Service option enabled. I also use the Cool 'n Quiet function within the tool itself, and make sure C1E and CnQ are disabled in BIOS. In Windows power options, make sure it is set to Balanced if using Windows 7, and use at least 2 or more P states. Make sure to hit the update button and apply setting so the P states are memorized. Install CoreTemp as a monitor utility and you will be able to see the CPU clock setting initially come up at the lower setting and as work demand is applied, you will see the Clock frequency ramp up. You should also be able to use the voltage control in PMT. Most of the default settings the author gives can be used without too much modification. The main benefit of using balanced mode is that the machine will idle very nicely at lower voltage and frequency with significant reduction in power usage and heat output.

If you're in need to clamp PMT to High Performance mode, sometimes needed in gaming apps, you can use Windows Power setting to apply the mode there and ensure that the High Performance tab in PMT Service is set to only use P0 state. For myself running a number of current games like Diablo III, I don't have to fuss with any of the power modes since the machine plays well enough.

Even in more modern boards like the Asus Crosshair V Formula, PMT is used by me in Windows 8, exactly as I described it above. I learned all there is with it on my M2N32-SLI.

Also, Please go into your control panel settings in this forum and enable it to show the components in your system to avoid guesswork on our part.

I found this hhttp://www.frozencpu.com/products/15244/cpa-617/Lian_Li_PW-IO2AH100_USB_30_20pin_Header_to_USB_20_Header_PW-IO2AH100.html?tl=g2c539s98 to get my usb 3 ports on my case to work with the board

default bios use vcore 1.42v . i set vcore 1,25, but bios use 1,29. it is good or bad?
If the voltage is set 1,42, built-in sensor (mb) shows the temperature of greater than 60C. If set 1.25 shows the ~50.
Difference between the sensor mb and processor 20 degrees regardless of the heating temperature of the processor (cpu 34C - mb 54 (+20)

1.42v is too much for stock clocks.
Most of the M2N32's overvolt the cpu,this not a problem just take the cpu voltage reading from cpu-z and adjust in the bios to get desired volts.
If your motherboard is running at 54c,I think you may need some more airflow in your case.My mb never gets over 40c under load and is only a few c above ambient at normal use.
