Hey 8Pack

I have a 4930K in a RIVG, both underwater. I was going for a quick 4.5GHz so I set the following in the BIOS (everything else on auto):

MULTI: 45
LLC: high
Offset voltage: +0.010
CPU PLL: 1.65v

Well, it works great, I can run Cinebench, Frybench, Firestrike, my games, whatever. But the thing is CPUz is telling me that the CPU is pulling 1.200-1.208v when running benchmarks on all cores and 1.216-1.224v when doing single thread benchmarks. That's waaay lower than the voltage my i7 3820 use to pull at the same speed and that only had 2/3 the cores O.o
 
I think 1.2 for 4.5 is possible yeah. I have chips doing under 1.3 for 5ghz 24/7 infcat one that can do with like 1.225 or similar.

Only way to find out exact voltage if your still not convinced is to use dmm.
