QPI voltage question - is mine too low?

I have a DP45SG with a Core 2 Duo E8400. Intel's Desktop Control Center shows my QPI Voltage at 1.05 and that this voltage is in the orangish-red area on my Monitoring gague. I'm not terribly familiar with QPI and how it fits into things, except that it's supposed to replace the FSB. I know that I'm suppose to have a QPI somewhere in the 1.12-1.15 range. Is this true? Do I have a problem since my QPI voltage is low?

I'm not experiencing any performance-related issues, other than the occasional single beep followed by a very short (almost cut off) second beep from the motherboar'd speaker about once or twice per day - still haven't figured that one out.

Thanks,

E8400 doesn't have a QPI, so I'm not sure what's going on with the software.

Your not supposed to hear any beeps from your motherboard, so I'd investigate that.

Awesome, thanks guys. I looked QPI up, did a little bit of research, but no where did I find something that told me which chips had it so I was kind of clueless. As for the software, it's still in beta for my particular board, so that could explain it.

We Dont have to worry about the LOW Voltages in monitoring gauge because they are for overclocking .
