I7 9700k high temps and voltage

[Th3Sentinel]

Hello everyone. I've just bulit a new pc, been waiting for it for a long time and I came up with some issues with it.
PC: I7 9700k
Noctua NH-U14S
Case : Silentium PC Armis Ar7 with 2 additional fans
Gigabite Aorus z370 k3 gaming
16 GB of Corsair Vengence 3000 Mhz Ram
Gtx 1070 from EVGA

1. First thing I noticed is that temps were high in idle. In high 30 low 40s. But it was idle I didn't mind. But when I started playing I noticed after some time that my frame rate dropped from having 300 fps in csgo down to like 150. I thought to myself that can't be right so I checked and the temps were in the high 80s some cores were at 90°C. That's not good. Turned all the fans to max rmp so it's better but still very high.
2. I noticed that my voltages are high while I was trying to figure our what's the issue. I'm getting roughly 1.45V. What the hell ? I checked online and I should be getting around 1.25-1.3 So that's probably the issue of my heat. Tried to lower Load line calibration In bios but I wouldn't let me so I found it in a motherboard software app that let me change it from high to medium or sth like that It wasn't really precise.
3. So my question is: is it motherboards fault for giving too high voltage? Is it my bad cooler and should I just go liquid ? Or am I just unlucky on the silicon lottery and I have a ****** cpu? Ps; I'm pretty sure that the 9th gen i7 should hit 4.9 ghz at least on 1 core right? The highest I've seen mine go was 4.7 which I think is due to the temperature throttle. I need help plz save me ;*

Lower the voltage to the chip, with CPU's power approximately squares with voltage so what ever you can do to lower it the better. Use offset voltages and lower it manually in the bios to 1.2V and start from there, if it crashes up the voltage 0.02V and try again. 1.45V is way to high to start with, I'd say 1.3V is the max I would go really.

Also make sure you have all the fans in the system running the right way, generally running the airflow from front to back, and set up fan curves for all the fans in use.

What are you using to check the voltage? To be honest, with the Noctua cooler and the temps you are seeing I do think the voltage is set way too high.. Try other monitoring programs, like HWinfo64, just incase they are being reported wrongly.

Report back what the voltages are set to in the bios. Also, to start with, disable any multi-core enhancement just until you know what the hell is going on.

Load optimised settings in bios. Dont load the XMP profile and reboot

Check temps and vcore and report back.

Did that temps and vcore are roughly the same still hitting 1.4

Googling it now, this UEFI is ***** compared to the old Asrock one i had in my previous mobo, so it wont allow me to mess with the settings dont know why. But ill start as soon as i find out how.
In bios voltage is set to auto, it was displaying 1.3V also. I am using HWinfo64 for temps and vcore readings.

Latest bios?

Looking here: https://www.anandtech.com/show/13400/intel-9th-gen-core-i9-9900k-i7-9700k-i5-9600k-review/22 Those are the voltages you should expect to need for different speeds although processors do vary.

Can you change the voltage from auto to manual? Then you should be able to change it somewhere close after.

Latest bios?

yes sir

it dosent allow me to. im browsing online too see if i have to enable/disable something first before they'll allow me to.

Little update.
Went down with the voltage -0.140 so far trying to go down little lower so we'll see. Ran prime95, highest its been is 1.390 on 1 core roughly 1.35 on the others.
Temps went up to 98 degrees though im slowly getting ****** il give you guys an update once im on the lowest voltage the system will boot.

update 2.
After all that playing around in the bios nothing seemed to be working. I loaded optimal bios settings so back to default and hit the stress test cause 1 guy wanted my hwinfo64 readings. Hit 100 degrees and pc crashed. Think im gonna go to the store on monday morning and tell them whats up cuz this is just not right.
Thanks everyone for your time if you have any suggestions im still willing to check them out but im slowly giving up ..

Does the cooler feel warm/hot to the touch? If not then reset the cooler with some fresh TIM.

I had a look for pictures of the bios, and my AMD gaming 5 looks very similar. All you need is in the MIT tab, Frequency for core multi and RAM XMP iirc, and then in voltage section for voltages(core and RAM).

So in the MIT tab, go to Advanced frequency settings then Advanced CPU Core settings what is the core clock ratio set to? set it to 37(standard) for now. One thing I will say is that for good overclocks you may need to set an AVX offset, it reduces the CPU multiplier when AVX instructions are used as they heat the CPU a lot, but leave it alone for a test at standard speeds. If you set an AVX offset to 2, instead of an overclock of 4.5GHz(for instance) it'll run at 4.3GHz with AVX instructions because of the extra heat caused using them. Below you can see the different settings for overclocks with 1/2/4/6 etc cores are active - this can interfere with what you want to so so make sure things look good.

Now, go to MIT tab, Advanced Voltage Settings and see where you can change the voltage for CPU core/ram/etc.. Set the core voltage to 1.2-1.3(or what ever the default is as I don't know off hand), again just to test. Leave all others on AUTO if you don't know what they are - save and reboot.

One thing to add, there should be a thin red bar of the right side which will give basic CPU settings that are in use at the moment, CPU frequency, CPU Voltage, temperatures etc.. So it's a quick way to see what settings you are using and what effect they are having.

Hope that helps!
