Hey guys
I decided to hold back on upgrading my mobo+cpu+ram until next Ryzen and stayed with the reliable I5 2500K+Z68XP-UD3 combo for a while, and I bought a vega 64 nitro+ and an ssd for my system.
Now, to help my system a little in games I decide to go for a 4.3Ghz overclock on processor for starters.
I modified the boost frequency to 43 and set the vcore manually to 1.26v and LLC to 5 while keeping all the C states enabled coz I want the processor to throttle down when that is the case.
Now I do have an issue that I would like some help with please.
In idle cpu-z is showing a vcore of 1.28, firing up Prime95 has cpu-z showing the intended 1.26v that I set.
Closing prime 95 has the idling voltage going back to 1.28 and it stays at 1.28 in gaming, TimeSpy etc.
What makes the voltage stay in idle higher than what I have it set up when it's not really needed please?
Thanks

Much easier to keep an eye on another screen than to watch the multimeter, at least for me, even though the meter would be the no guessing answer.. I will try other tools for monitoring see what they say also.
