Oh, right, so the CPU doesn't *mind* about the low VCore?

I mean, the last time I had lm-sensors working on that box (which has an
asus motherboard), I don't recall any VCore alarms. But I'm not sure if
it's the VCore or the lm-sensors alarm thresholds which have changed...

How can we tell what the VCore is meant to be? It's CPU-dependent, isn't
it?
