2700K overclock

Hi, I am using Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 LGA1155 motherboard on 2700k I changed multiplier to 46 resulting in 4.62 ghz overclock (boost)... But my voltage seems to be very very low... Is there something wrong, am I killing my CPU?

if that is truly at full load with those speeds and that voltage i would say no, you quite possibly have the best i7 chip on the planet i would imagine lol

Try opening Cpu-z to read the voltages off of that whilst benching

Will do, I am kinda scared so I put it back to stock.

What does you bios tell you the vcore is? Low vcore won't hurt, infact, if you were really running at those volts, you might just get one humungous overclock.

On a more serious note, looks like CPU-Z is screwing you around.

Thats the problem... Bios is reading same values

... I am worried that my cpu in fact is running at dangerous voltages.

Here is picture from bios... Sorry for quality autofocus went wrong :/

I put it into stock, and voltage went up to 1.200 which I think is normal... The more you overclock the less is the voltage??? I think theres something wrong with mobo...

i also have this cpu but i cant seem to get it run at a higher clock speed.

i set the MP to 44 in bios which should give me 4.4 straight of the bat. problem is that when i start cpuz and run a game the MP and clock speed stay at stock settings.

my previous cpu was a core 2 duo and i never had this issue. is there something i doin wrong or is it a cpuz issue?

Its because i7 uses boost technology

Just download AIDA or other software that will put strain on your CPU and you will see that it will rise to 4.4... Alternatively disable turbo boost in bios.

i just tried disabling turbo boost with the same result!

Use gigabayte smart6 (smart quick boost), restart computer... Download AIDA and launch a test. Or go into bios by pressing DEL... and it should display your full speed there. Or maybe you forget to press F10 in the bios...

There is nothing to list really, I just changed multiplier clock to 46... Dont get excited it is most likely a supporting issue, so it is not reporting right v core.
