Hi guys,
I am not very into overclocking etc however I got this new chip last week and did not really get to do any work with it as I had problems with GFX that ended up being RMA so now I had some more free time to play and I got a couple of questions to those of you who own the same chip? I am running straight out of the box without any over clock or anything - BIOS is set to auto - did not touch anything there yet.
I run CPUz while at the same time running Prime95 for about 10m and the Core VID in CPUz was around 1.35 - 1.4111 (the highest it jumped during the test) - IS THIS NORMAL? should it not be a set number? Is this not too high?
I looked this up on the net a bit and most people reviews are stating that the Core stock voltage is 1.2?? Maybe I am not understanding it correctly but should it not be 1.2 in CPUz while running tests??? If it should why does it fluctuate for me this high? As I said its running at stock 4ghz with turbe 4.2ghz while testing. If I am understanding it right and it should not be this high how come it comes out of the box like this if majority of people are reporting 1.2v - do I adjust this manually somewhere?
The other problem I am having is temps during load - I use H110i GTX - after 10m of Prime95 the temps go as high as 80C - I did not dare to push further so I shut it off after it got to 80C in HWmonitor while the settings are on performance mode for the cooler.. this seems odd to be this high?? However once in idle the temps average around 20C???
Other components - Asus Hero 8, i7 6700k, H110i gtx, ddr4 corsair ram
Any insight into this is appreciated?
