are these voltages okay for my computer?
http://i497.photobucket.com/albums/rr335/jaredmist...
i've circled the voltages that seemed a bit odd.
I'm running a Phenom II x4 955 3.2 GHZ with a 600 watt OCZ StealthxStream PSU, as well as a Radeon HD 4870.
AND, one more additional question, what is the default voltage for my cpu? because at the moment it is 1.424 v.......thanks.

Specified voltage range is 0.85 - 1.4V. Fluctuation is dynamic depending on the load. >1.4V is usually used to stabilize high overclocks.
Speedfan readings or the motherboard's sensors are not that accurate that is why there are offsets in Speedfan to help in properly calibrating the readings. Also try the voltage readings from other monitoring softwares.

I have the same CPU, and the default voltage fluctuates between 0,875 and 1,5 V because of the Cool'n'Quiet 3.0 technology : When the workload of the CPU is low, it decreases the frequency of the CPU by reducing the voltage. Thus, the CPU temperature keeps low and the CPU fan makes less noise.
your 600W PSU is amply powerful for your spec. It is also OK for overclocking or for crossfire (but avoid crossfire + overclocking).
