2500k voltage jumping up is this safe?

Hi lads just been watching how the voltage spikes when coming under load.

2500k @ 4.4Ghz it spikes to 1.45v for a few seconds then drops down to around 1.375v.

Is this something to worry about or just LLC being too agressive?

Sounds like LLC could do with turning down a notch.

Definatly. Thats Vdroop (in reverse). Having the LLC to high will cause to voltage to Drop Up (rise)..

It should really be set so the voltage doesn't move under load.

Do you mean the voltage is spiking when the CPU comes off load? If so, then yes, LLC is set too high. This was one of things mentioned by anandtech a fair few years ago, and you had to be careful with LLC.
