So lately my CPU temps have been super high, even for idle (around 40-50) and when it's max CPU usage it hits the 90's. I just re-applied thermal paste and it gives the same readings, I just thought looking at the core voltages might help and all of them say around 1.5v when it hits a load. I don't know much about this topic so I thought someone might have an idea. I've never really tampered with BIOS settings before either, I had my brother help me set this computer up -
He put 1.350v on 4.4GHz. Obviously he needs some help with it Spec's of said friend's PC i7-6700k x1 8GB 2133Mhz CAS 15 (told him to get another new stick, he coruppted his other) Gigabyte Z170 UD3 Blue MSI Aero 980Ti Hybrid. So he has also gone through a RX 480 and HOF 980. Being dumb he Over volted the RX480 (I hated that one out the 2) And the 980 sadly had "magnetic interference" as I like to a call it. Can you help me with this problems? I don't know anything about Gigabyte, and I told him, "Don't try to reach 5.1GHz you have no chance." I appreciate all hp given, no, he doesn't want to delid.

Hi everyone, I have some problem(cpu-Ryzen 7 2700x, motherboard-Asus strix x470-f) with voltages, in bios setting (Ai tweaker) minimum voltage set to 1.212 all settings are on auto controll, but on right side of bios on hardware monitor display show 1.484, why this number is not the same ? Temperature is about 40-50C. Also yesterday monitor turn of, but pc still running and can't turn off, so I switch power supply button, today pc running fine but problem is the same. Please help. Thank you and sorry for potential mistakes, English is not my native language.

So, I recently decided since my X99 5820k bit the dust, that it was time for a slight upgrade. It isn't much, but I decided to hop to the Z370 platform and grab myself an i7-8700k. Now, I know these things are typically hot, so I didn't think much when I saw it sitting at 50 degrees when idle. And then I realized that nobody else was reporting said numbers. Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 5 Processor: i7 8700k PSU: Corsair AX1200i RAM: 2x8 GB (16GB total) G.Skill Trident Z RGB @ 3200Mhz M.2 SSD: Samsung 960 Pro - 512GB CPU Cooler: CoolerMaster MasterLiquid Pro 240mm On stock settings, with MCE disabled, I was idling at 40-50 degrees. CPU was exceptionally unstable with MCE on, unless I increased the CPU voltage to 1.28v. I'm currently running stock settings with MCE _OFF_, and am hitting single core turbo speeds of 4.7, as advertised, but regularly hit 90 degrees when doing so. At first I thought it may be a cooler issue, but the loop was moved from one PC to another, and thermal paste was properly cleaned, removed and reapplied. I've tried reseating it multiple times, as well as reapplying different types of thermal paste I have laying around. No go. I tried a mild overclock despite the temps of an all core 4.5 Ghz at 1.30v, which I know is quite insane on the voltage... but I couldn't manage to get it stable under that. It pretty much pegged 100 degrees the second testing began. I know these things run hot, but this is ridiculous. Is this even normal? Also worth mentioning, this is a replacement power supply as my previous AX1200 (not i) decided to go homicidal on all my X99 stuff. It literally fried the RAM, processor AND motherboard. Talk about crap luck. In a stable configuration, this is what I am getting in OCCT reporting: https://1drv.ms/f/s!ApZn2e3A5zhUgexAg4A0fhgsNU7gwQ Any suggestions? Does it look like the replacement power supply could be bad? did I just have the worst luck ever in the silicon lottery draw? I may know things about components and all, but my knowledge of reading and diagnosing things based on voltages and whatnot? Slim to none. Interested to get some responses.

Hello, I was following a step by step instructions for overclocking on my computer with the same mother board and cpu. So I changed all my setting to what was shown in the video and then when I rebooted the computer keeps attempting to boot, but a crackling keeps happening and the system dies constantly. How do I fix this?

Recently I built my first gaming PC, here's the part list https://pcpartpicker.com/b/GrYTwP I decided to do some overclocking because my temps were so good, though for some reason the voltage was 1.5v out of the box? Either way, after some testing I've got my 1800x stable at 3.89GHz at 1.4v with max temps at 73c. Then for my RAM I got that stable at 3066MHz at 1.37v, my RAM is rated to run at 3200MHz but I can't get it to stabilize even at 1.5v. I wanted to know is it safe for my components if I leave them at these voltages? Or would it be possible (at least for my RAM) to up the voltages some more?

ryzen1600x Ryzen 1600x Core Voltage Issues
Trigger.ut! posted a topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Hardware: Ryzen 1600x Asus Prime b350-Plus Cooler Master Masterliquid ML240L Ballistix sport LT 2400mhz 8Gb (X2) Sapphire Nitro RX580 So I've been trying to understand why my CPU's base core voltage is so high. With everything set to auto in the BIOS (updated 29/11/19) the Core Voltage is set to a whopping 1.506v. I realized this as I was trying to overclock. At 3.8ghz the system is unstable and runs pretty hot (about 10-20 degrees hotter than normal), trying to correct this issue is near impossible as my motherboard's bios doesn't have the capability to directly change the voltage to a specific value, instead they've opted for an offset mode which is driving me crazy. The system didn't post when I tried the offset mode so I'm honestly pretty scared to go forward without really knowing what I'm doing. I'd like to get the best out of my system though, if anyone understood this mess and can help I'd very much appreciate it. Thank you -
Hey everyone, just overclocking my i7-6700K, trying to get it to 4.5 Ghz, haven't done any stability tests because I am scared of the voltage I should be using. Can someone tell me what is SUPER safe for 24/7 operation? I am on my computer for like 12 hours a day and like 6 hours during weekdays. I have it set to 1.31 Volts in the UEFI Bios but in CPU-Z the CORE-VID seems to jump around and if I run a game or a stress test it goes up to like 3.325 or 3.225 Volts COMPLETELY ignoring my instructions of 1.31 volts. Why is this? Is my CPU just a really bad over clocker and I will just have to try and get 4.4 Ghz instead? Or is this normal and I should be expecting this? Temperature isn't an issue though (GTX H110i AIO owner ) If any more info is needed to help, I am available please just leave a comment, thanks in advance. PS: My build is in my signature.

Hey, i'm just wondering what kind of overclocks you guys are getting on your 4790k's. Please post voltages. Mine is running at 4.6 on 1.25 volts. haven't messed with it that much, just set the multiplier to 46 and voltages to 1.25, never touched it again.

Hey, I'm going to be reluctantly honest here and say I am a first time OC'er. I'd prefer it if you weren't condescending -- I understand the process and have researched it for a while. I apologise for being blunt. This will help not just me but others as well; I see people on the internet looking for the same answer as me, but not getting it. So if we were to just clear it up in this thread it'd be great. I'm going to be asking some stupid questions for others to understand even though I know it anyway. I'll mark these with a star. Also, if you could answer the questions in general (not in relation to the 4790k) unless specified otherwise. Put a number before your answer please I know this is specific, I just want to help others as well as me haha. Any info you have would be great. 1. What's VCCIN?* 2. What's VCORE?* 3. When would you change VCCIN? 4. When would you change VCORE?* 5. What increments should you increase these by? 6. Max safe VCORE 4790k 7. Max safe VCCIN 4790k -- Getting a stable 5.0GHz OC (4790k) -- 8. Things that should be changed* 9. Best results in relation to voltages you have got (or know about) 10. Any last info you think should be added You don't have to answer every question. Just put the number of the question you are answering before. Thanks for everything, really helping me and the community! Chris -
Obviously when overclocking there is a fair degree of trial and error involved, trying to get voltages as low as possible while still remaining stable etc and a common thing I have found when overclocking is if one goes too over the top the system will experience the blue screen of death on startup. While I know I can just go back into the BIOS and fix it, does each time my computer blue screens negatively effect its live span or just overall well being? Thanks (overclocking a 4790k if it matters) -
So here's the deal, I have an AX 1200i hooked up to my Rampage IV Extreme motherboard. I was one of the first people to get an AX 1200i way back when they first came out, and as many of you know the original ones had some serious problems with them. Mine failed within 2 weeks. Shortly before it failed my software that came with the Rampage motherboard began giving me notices of very odd voltages like "4 volts on 3.3 volt rail" or "0.1 volts on 3.3 volt rail" and "7 volts on 5.0 volt rail" (the voltage numbers are never the same always changing) I got an RMA on the PSU and but the notices didnt stop even with the new PSU, this leads me to believe that it could have toasted something on mobo, lately the notifications have started happening more and more often. The computer never dies or just shuts down randomly or anything odd and there are no other indications that anything is wrong besides the notifications that come up from the AI Suite. #1 should I be worried about this and #2 do you guys think this is an issue with the PSU or mobo?

Hello guys, im trying to configure some days now how to use a proper options in BIOS about overclocking my cpu, I have recently bought the coolermaster nepton 240M, before that i was running at 4.2 GhZ without over heating or any other problem, i want to get my cpu arround 4.7 or even 5. But i read in some threats while i was researching about it that i must adjust the voltage too, so i want to ask if you can help me about it or either tell me the proper voltage and Ghz for my cpu and motherboard. Bellow you can read my rig. Thanks!

Hi all! I know I'm a bit late to the 2600K overclocking party, but better late than never. So I have a 2600K on an Asus P8Z68-V Pro motherboard with a Cooler Master Hyper 212+. I'd like to get a moderate overclock of around 4.2-4.3Ghz on as close to the stock voltages as possible. I ran Prime95 for about 3.5 hours last night at stock and Cpu-Z was reporting voltages dancing around from about 1.264-1.288 for the 3.8Ghz turbo. The max temp that HW Monitor reported was 63C. So I'd like to know if anyone thinks that it is possible to get ~4.3Ghz on ~1.28V. I don't want to go above 1.3V, just cause I'm a bit of a freak about low temps. If I can get that overclock on stock voltage with the same(ish) temps, does that mean it is 100% safe to run 24/7? Thanks.

What would be the recommended and maximum amount of voltage for an i7-4790k? I am planning to OC it as much as possible without frying it under 4 years.

So my computer would shut down 10 minutes into a game, every time! I thought it was over heating so I increased the fan speeds, turned up my GPU fan to 100% and it would still shut down. Then I thought maybe something is wrong with RealTemp and it is not giving me accurate temps, so I decided to check the temps in the BIOS, only to find all the voltages written in Red. I am pretty sure Red means bad, but I really need help to understand how bad? I am attaching a photo of what the page looked like. Please help. Any help is appreciated Thank you in advance

Hi community! This is likely a repost, but I couldn't find anything like this on the forum with the search tool so I made my own post. If it is a repost please link me to the original thread and admins feel free to delete this So I recently got my r9 290 DCII OC. Despite the bad things I've been hearing about this card (after purchase lol ) I am pretty happy with my experience so far, as the card has done everything it advertizes for me and overall works very well. Now that I've had it for a few weeks I've decided it's time to try and push the clock a bit higher than the stock oc of 1ghz core and 1.26 ghz memory. I'm not very experienced with overclocking gpus so before I fry it accidentally I wanted to ask you what voltages can be considered safe, especially because I didn't get particularly lucky with my chip and to get any oc to be stable (that bioshock infinite benchmark is so damn picky I crashed multiple times before I turned up the voltage even at very low ocs) I had to turn up the voltage to at least 1.325v as opposed to the 1.25 default. I know pretty much for certain that voltage is safe but before I push higher I would like to hear your opinion on the matter: what voltage do you suggest stopping at? Is it safe to go on until the card gets unstable or it gets hotter than I like or should I stop before that? Thank you for any response <3

I was wondering if this is normal behavior, because I've heard that any voltage above 1.4 volts isn't to be considered safe and should be cause of concern on the long term. Whether this is true or not is not entirely clear to me. My 5900X stays at an unconfortable 1.5 V almost ALL the time while casually working, like Visual Studio Code, Excel, Teams and browsing the web and when idling (under load it goes down to 1.35 V) temps get really weird, over 75°C with an Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280. I'm just wondering if this is normal behavior intended by AMD. This issue is driving me crazy, and when I run some Java-based program that hits the CPU (notably Minecraft Java edition) temps immediately get out of control and voltages are all over the place. Could this be a BIOS problem? I'm using a B550-A Pro by MSI by the way.
