Worker #3 Just stopped when doing 4.9 at 1.33v....

I'm trying to push for 5Ghz but if Prime95 works get errors at 1.31v and 4.9 Ghz, is it possible without pumping too much into it?

Workers still fail in Prime 95 when I'm doing 4.9Ghz at 1.31v :C

thanks, i'll just pay attention to the vcore then. I set it to fixed voltage at 1.31v. is that still to high?

I might be confused. VID is showing the 1.38v on idle and 1.46 on boost. but is the voltage on the motherboard CPU VCORE the more accurate one? If it is, then it is still pretty high at nearly 1.40v. LLC and CPU voltages are default.

I don't know why my CPU has so much voltage going into it, i have no softwares messing with it and CMOS reset my mobo in case. please help. It was like this almost out of the box. MOBO: ASRock Taichi CPU: i7-8700k Cooler: Corsair H100i v2 PS: Corsair RM750X RAM: 2x8GB Corsair 2333

I did and it only goes higher

LLC setting is default, AKA lowest.

I'm having some seriously high voltage issues and I don't know what to do. At first I thought it was because of overclocking, but once I cleared CMOS and checked my BIOS to make sure all factory settings were back to normal, I go in and see it is at 1.32v still. And when I start Prime95 and it just jumps to 1.45 and stays there. Temperatures aren't too bad, as it stays highest is mid 70s. HELP. ANYONE.

That isn't the problem though, when i dial it back down to 4.8ghz and put the BIOS voltage to 1.300, CPUID jumps between 1.42 V and 1.495 V. Why is it reading so high? And yeah I know my lottery luck was pretty bad running 5ghz at a theoretical 1.38 V, but 1.38 is a lot better than the 1.5+ its showing.

Hey all, I am overclocking my i7-8700k with an ASRock Taichi and a Corsair H100iv2 AIO, and I'm just wondering how I can keep my voltage down. I am reaching a stable 5ghz and my BIOS OC is set to 1.385 with LLC level 1(ASRock is a bit counter-intuitive and level one is the highest), and my voltage goes up to all the way even to 1.48 V or sometimes into the 1.5x V under load. I've tried lowering the LLC but it doesn't help and some forums say to keep it at level 1? I don't really know but any help is appreciated.

It's hard to determine how strong you are or how much pressure you are exerting on the arm, but I recommend watching AMD build videos and see if how other people are pushing down on it looks about the same as how hard you are pushing down on it before you go through RMAing.

No the tension should be virtuall the same as intel's.

My PC is on my desk and I can attest to be sensitive to the high frequencies. I know it doesn't affect the machine in any way, I just want to know if it's is fixable or avoidable. Putting on headphones does help but when I take it off there it is again. When not gaming it is for the most part silent, but even having a software running can cause it ti hum a bit louder than silent. Only when there is next to no GPU usage is when the PC is silent.
