Caporegime
I can get mine into the low 60's but it means running the cooler fans at full speed. Quite loud having x2 2350 rpm fans going full on.

cpu-z should be more accurate? bios wont add on llc level
Permabanned
His temps are pretty ridiculous, wonder what his ambient is
50c load temps? Mine was mid 70s with custom water rather than AIO.
My game room has good airflow,but I think I could get temps down a little further

So so, i've had CPU-Z showing 1.9v where the bios is set to 1.3v or something lol. Likewise, had it before where on load its showing idle voltage.
If he's setting 1.1v in the bios with high LLC then we know he's got a golden chip, just seems unlikely? Most of these chips seem to be 1.2v minimum for boost clocks.

with a working/accurate cpu-z
mine reads 1.140v I think in bios but it doesn't take into account what llc adds or offset
best way would be screenshot cpu-z while stressing

You can only cool so much with better airflow, you're ultimately limited by ambient temps. My room currently is 23c, and my 4790k is running 45c @Idle.
Really low fan speeds, but still running at 22c delta T.

P95 would show volts

45c on idle? You kidding?

P95 will load the CPU, CPU-Z should state the load voltage.
I'm running fans at around 400-500rpm, running at 22c delta isn't too bad, don't underestimate how important ambient temps are if you're going to compare temperatures.

Is that idle or under load?

Idle

Right I am a bit of a newbie to Hawsell overclocking manually, having just allowed the board to set everything previously on my 4770K, but looking for wee bit assistance. I had left everything on auto and simply increased multiplier to 48 and it seemed stable enough with wPrime but ran Asus RealBench stress test and it failed in about 20 seconds BSOD.
So I have went in to BIOS and set vcore to manual 1.310v. Running through Realbench just now at 48x and seems ok (temps a bit high). However even on idle the vcore is remaining at 1.310v - i presume down to me setting it manually! How do I set it so the vcore decreases and only hits 1.310v when fully loaded? Obviously I am going to try and bring the volts down assuming it passes the 15 minute stress test (i know 15 minutes is not long enough to substantiate stability, but it will do for starters).
Help is as always, much appreciated guys!
EDIT: just to add I understand this may not be the place to ask for that kind of assistance, so if so mods just delete post and I will ask in overclocking section.

its still hot tone?
sitting here my 3770k is skipping between 29/31/31/30 cpu fans at 700 odd rpm turn up your fans
@Five stars you need to use cpu offset,only add small amounts so maybe +0.010v and try high level loadline calibration,then see what load cou voltages are and add more or reduce offset

Yeah, i know it's hot
Doesn't bother me, 4.6 and just slapped 1.3v on it. Seems stable, and temps are underload around the mid 60s touching 70s on the hotter core.
Better than stock, where it wanted 1.36v, and no...not turning up my fans, they're annoying any louder. To the point i'm seriously contemplating ripping this computer apart and changing everything out again. Also, idle voltage is 1.25v. So not comparable to Retro, who after all this quoted his bloody idle voltage and not load voltage!!!
@retro, what's your load voltage for 4.5Ghz?

I will be 45c if its not downclocking in volts

Aaaargh it failed about 20 seconds from end of test 
Lol. Back to the drawing board. Didn't get a BSOD though, just a restart - any ideas what that would indicate, if anything?

I'm not one to pussyfoot around trying to get lowest volts, or temps. All i want is silence and as long as whatever i'm cooling doesn't go over my comfortable temps then i'm an easy bunny
Set voltage i'm happy for 24/7, set multi and then memory and i'm off. I could lower temps is i let the chip downvolt, i could get lower voltage if i spent an age stress testing. Don't have the patience or time.
All i care about is my best frequency for said benchmarks.

not too hot on haswell,but you could need more voltage? lower uncore and one/two clicks more vring bus voltage might help,im no expert on haswell tho
did you catch how much cpu voltage at load?

Not at my PC atm, but will post volts shortly.
