Is this normal?

I bought one of these Cooler Master GeminiII M4 coolers, and I don't know what for, but BIOS temperatures are still reading my temperatures as too high.

My first guess would be that you didn't mount the new cooler properly.

That's what I'd have thought, or the thermal paste isn't applied properly.

Is 1.4 Vcore normal for a AMD cpu?

I can check on my backup rig but it won't be until tomorrow afternoon.

I would think 1.4 volts is very high for a cpu sitting in the Bios.

What is the cpu speed ? we can`t see that.

I have the Cooler Master GeminiII S524 (first version; there is a version 2 out now) cooling my i7-3930K (six cores), which is a hot running puppy even at low load, and, even at 25°C room temperature, my core temps are running between 38-42°C right now. The S524 uses six direct contact heat pipes instead of four like yours and has deeper fins. I would check the TIM (Thermal Interface Material i.e. thermal paste) to be sure it was applied correctly. Some TIMs are better than others. I'm using Arctic MX-4; I like it since it is non-conductive and doesn't require a burn in period, making it almost goof proof. If your TIM is good, then you may want to consider upgrading to the S524.

Think my amd cpu voltage is like 1.1/1.2? I know there obv a lot diff in performance but still lol

My AMD chip runs at a voltage of about 1.1V to 1.3V depending on load.

No normal range is 0.998-1.300 from being down clocked to 1.0 Ghz and Boost being 3.4 Ghz full speed
