Quick check

ASUS AI Suite came up with a warning pop-up relating to volts, pop-up disappeared before I could read it properly.

Is this alright?

* Whilst taking this screenshot, core voltage dropped below 1.0 for a split second twice.. (0.96 perhaps) Although it didn't record the drop in AI Suite as minimum refresh rate is 5seconds.

Speedstep is disabled

I've got all fans (incl graphics card) running at maximum as I'm at a LAN and noise doesn't matter, is there a problem running fans at 100% constant? I always thought it was fine.

Or should I not trust AI Suite?

Doesn't seem a problem to me..

Max safe volts for Sandybridge-E is 1.4, so no worries there.

Im not sure what AI suite is worred about..

I was meaning the core voltage dropping below 1v very briefly but core speed remained at 3900MHz?

I remember when I first built my rig and was monitoring everything, my rig would do the same thing. I never experienced any crashes from it, so I just assumed it's either an Intel or an Asus idiosyncrasy.

Also, running fans at 100% is not a problem.

Yeah, I just won't trust AI Suite
