VCore of CPU too low?

[HoiDaniel]

So I posted yesterday about my PC crashing at random times. I manage to let it crash on purpose, whilst running prime95 and unigine heaven at the same time. That only tells me that the power output from the PSU is too low.

 

However, when i look at the vcore of my CPU, it peaks around 0.880V where 1.2V would be normal (right?). When i was using my pentium before, it showed 1.25V, the voltage i set in the BIOS. Powersaving options don't make any difference, and when the CPU runs at 100% usage, it still stays at 0.880V.

 

Is this bad? Maybe an error? Maybe illuminati?

that might suggest some kind of throttling.

if the issue was only cpu then stressing your cpu would crash your system,

dont have to stress both gpu and cpu to get a crash

Temps? Maybe it's overheating?

Maybe rest the cmos and before OCing again, check the voltages with stock settings and see whether the voltages act weirdly or not? If it's stable, precede to OC and see if it's stable or not...

It's never ever going above 0.880V tho, not even if it's still at 40C

It's about drawing the maximum amount of power

Temps are high but okay

Rest CMOS, possibly a bad overclock then

Using an i5-4460, that's how the problems started

Oh...still reset your CMOS as you swapped CPUs...

No difference? Hmmmm...
