(COMPUTER IS NOW UNSTABLE - SEE POSTS BELOW)

Just run a intel burn test for 50minutes (20 runs) at max settings

My highest CPU temp was 69oC and the completion times can be seen below.
-Highest vcore was 1.37

Could somebody confirm these scores are good?, Don't really have much knowledge of what good results should be xD

Thanks in advance!

My OCD is going crazy, I want to press CTRL + A, then DEL on ALL those shortcuts, thats what the Start Menu's for lol.

Do you really need to be reminded what day it is 3 times? lol

I have dynamic vcore enabled so I think thats why it's so high. In my BIOS I have it set to 1.30 but it will change from around 1.29 to 1.37 which is the highest I've seen it

That's a weird way of doing it, I'm guessing that's a Gigabyte board. Maybe using a lower LLC level will reduce the spiking.

On mine I set the offset to +0.01 which gives me 1.32v @ 4.6GHz, it only ever reaches this ocasionally when running IBT on max.
Prime or normal usage is 1.304v peaking at 1.312v ocasionally.

I tried changing the voltage to 1.95 and I blue screen when running the burn test. Just changed my LLC to level 5 and see what voltages I get

The offset mode doesn't work right with some gigabyte boards namely the ud3p and the one before that because you get a rather large vdroop especially when using intel burn test. It wont let you use LLC and offset so you have to stick with one or the other, I use LLC.

I tried level 5 too but you still get too much of a vdroop when oc from 4.4 and above, LLC 6 is the sweet spot but overvoltage becomes a problem.

Thanks Neil. It was running stable before I messed with stuff. Will just have to leave it with a higher voltage. Tbh no games are going I bump it up to that higher demand anyhow.

What voltage do you use for you're 4.60 as I have to set mine at 1.30 otherwise it will also BSOD
 
CPU VCORE - 1.335V

however with intel burn test and LLC at level 6 it overvolts on occasion to 1.40v but on average 1.385V, when using prime 95 it hovers around 1.380v. I'd rather it overvolt than undervolt and cause a bsod :)

Awesome so yeah what I was getting in the original pictures sounds about right then. Going back to those settings an will have one more burn test. Will test prime95 tomorrow.

Thanks for the help!
 
Under 1.4V is fine. People often go higher but I wouldn't be too worried about your vcore unless temperatures become a problem or you are interested in spending time finding the lowest possible stable core voltage.
