Most likely a faulty hardware component. Maybe PSU, maybe Motherboard, or something else.

Yes try reseating your cooler. BUT MAKE SURE you know how.

Are you 100% sure your cooler was installed correctly? Is it seated properly? Was adequate thermal paste applied? What's your ambient temperature?

No, my voltage is that high when STOCK with no OC. Also I'm Canadian so I doubt they ship here.

The issue is, my current motherboard was feeding my CPU over 1.4v on idle constatly which is not safe. It also doesn't really have any c-state power saving features or anything for the voltage to go down when idling.

Im sure that may have been out of my price range, but I'm also sure that the prime will be a much better mobo than my current one: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-Z170-HD3-rev-10#ov

Already bought it haha. Thanks for the input.

I looked all over and I couldn't find many z170 boards.

Just bought the mobo to increase my oc potential because my I7 6700K Is sitting on a really low end board. The vdroop was so high on my current board I couldn't even go past 4.4-4.5 ghz. BOARD: https://www.asus.com/ca-en/Motherboards/PRIME-Z270-A/ Tell me all your thougths and opinions pls.

So I have an i7 6700k and a low end motherboard. I want to increase my oc potential by buying a much better mobo, but when doing some research, apparently you have to buy windows again and then reinstall?? Is this true?? If so how do I do it? Anything else to know?

Canada/US idc.

I have an i7 6700k and my motherboard is severely limiting my OC potential so I’m looking for a new mobo that’s great for overclocking and can be ATX or smaller. My budget is $300. Also it can’t be a gigabyte motherboard (I don’t like em). Do you guys have any suggestions?

Should I undervolt with LLC or without? Because there will still be Vdroop.

If I OC it to the 4.5ghz 1.33v it will stay below 1.33 v.

So, for now do you think I should just stick with a stable 4.5 ghz OC at 1.33v or stay completely stock until I upgrade my MB?

Do you think I can't get 4.6 ghz because of the mobo, or because I lost the silicone lottery?

So when my cpu (and mb bios) is completely stock my idling vcore is 1.4v-1.44v. When the CPU is at max load (still stock) the vcore goes under 1.3v!! So I tried going for 4.6 ghz... But this time I used Loadline Calibration. After trial and error the cpu is barely stable (5 mins on p95) at 1.38v with LLC set to the highest setting (I only have 2 settings for LLC - Standard and High). Under max load with 4.6 ghz, 1.38v, Highest LLC, I'm still experiencing Vdroop... The vcore drops from 1.38 v at idle, to 1.356v under max load, and I'm still not able to go beyond ~ 5 mins on prime 95 (blend test). I don't want to go any higher on the vcore since my temps are peaking to 88 C. What do you guys think I should do?

Thank you so much for the advise! Yes my school does have a guidance counselor. I believe my dad faces the same issue, maybe it's something genetic. But I think I will have to speak with my parents about this issue since I cannot take it anymore. Also I don't play video games with my friends, just randoms.

So I'm 15 and on summer vacation. It's July 25 and school ended June 26 and I have not hung out with anybody, even in the school year I have not hung out with anyone. I have some "friends" , but I feel as though I am inferior to them and I hesitate so much to ask them to make plans because I fear rejection and criticism, they don't even respect me that much as they shut me down a lot (ex: telling me to shut up every 5 minutes). Even in school I get anxious when I'm near the "cool kids." However I feel incredibly sad at the moment because I need to be around people. And I know what you'll say; get outside! Join a club! etc... But I'm shy and have lost so much self-esteem, even saying Hi to someone in the elevator is a daunting task. I think I should see a psychiatrist or something, but I'm very hesitant to tell my parents. All I do is play video game all day, please help.

WOW

I've got bills to pay lol

LOL the total is $2800...

Build me the best PC for streaming, video editing, and gaming possible, I don't want peripherals or windows included. Just the PC. Budget is $2000.
