Hi, are you using the latest CPU-Z, never came across this before but up till now, been using CPU-Z for years never known it be wrong. Try another bit of software to check > openhardwaremonitor that's what l use to monitor my Vcore under load, temps, etc for a quick check running in the back ground all the time.

Use Gigabyte Skin CPU-Z from the Giga Web site. The standard CPU-Z reads incorrectly.

My CPU-Z reads completely the wrong value on my 2500k.

It says my VCore is 1.044V, instead of around 1.35V. I use HWMonitor instead, plus it comes with a ton of temperature stats.
