Hey guys,

I’ve overclocked my 1600 to 3.8 today, got that annoying offset voltage rather than just inputting a voltage to use. I’ve used 0.0125 which based on the stock should give me 1.25. Checking in the BIOS confirms this

However in Windows looking at CPUZ, the voltage bounces around constantly between 1.23 and 1.26. Is this ok?

I’m not worried because of temps as using my Kraken, even on silent mode the temps at idle sit around 32 and 10 Cinebench tests later maxes around 58.

But just worried about any potential issues with voltage constantly going up and down? Or is this totally normal?

Thanks

A variation of 0.03V is fine, nothing to worry about.
