CPU-Z question

[Jonny Chee]

I have my CPU voltage set to 1.29v currently in the BIOS but when looking at CPU-Z it much higher, fluctuating a little around 1.32-1.33v but sometimes going up to 1.36v?

Is this normal?

I also noticed this, ive been tweaking the Voltage so i know its at 1.30v, even restarted and double checked bios, but sometimes in cpuz its showing closer to 1.4?? seems to be a constant 1.392v, little scared as ive been told not to exceed 1.38 max

Its normal for the CPU to pull extra voltage at load.
@JC, 1.32-1.33 is about right for your OC. The peak Vcore may just be a spike....If you watch it in CPU-Z underload, does it go to 1.36?

I currently run at between 1.312 and 1.320 under load at 4.5GHz.
