Overclocking, Voltage help

dannyule · March 4, 2015

Hey guys

Recently overclocked my 4690k to 4.5Ghz with 1.28v but CPU-Z is displaying my vcore as 1.856v, it should be stating 1.28v shouldn't it?

It seems like its reading wrong voltage because if your cpu would receive that much voltage, if would die instantly and if not that - it would make a lot of heat...

You can use other monitoring software to check the volts, frequency and temperature that its actively using.

If it really was getting 1.856V, it would be insanely hot and obvious thermal throttling will occur.

I was presuming it was a misread but was wondering if I was looking in the wrong place. What other monitoring software do you recommend for viewing the vcore?
