Using CPUID Hardware Monitor I am seeing a max VCORE of 1.94V although current value is 1.34V. Surely that would have killed the CPU and cannot be correct?
Years ago I purchased a 4790K and gigabyte MB, enabled MCE and have enjoyed a 4.4GHZ processor at reasonable speeds and temperatures. I was hoping I could do the same with the 8086K and Gigabyte Z370XP and have a 5GHZ 6core PC.
The first problem was that with MCE enabled the board seems to run the chip at >1.4V which seems rather excessive. My 4790K is driven at more reasonable voltage with MCE enabled.
To try and bring the voltage down I decided to turn MCE off and instead set the max turbo multiple for each core value to x50. I want the frequency lower when idle. This runs at a much lower voltage - too low and does crash when loaded. So I install EasyTune and try a static voltage but the actual voltage still seems pretty dynamic and too high/unrelated to what I set. So I try a dynamic offset and with this enabled the voltage is higher at 0 offset and runs benchmarks so I try and reduce this with negative offset. So far I have got to -0.04V. It seems stable at the moment but I would like to try and bring the voltage down further.
This is when I notice that CPUID Hardware Monitor Pro is showing a max 1.9V and now I am worried the gigabyte board is going to kill my chip. The scary thing is this max setting has come about after I finished playing with the settings.
