So right now I'm playing with overclocking a bit for the first time actually, I've done some research into it and know the basics I guess. 
I set my i7-4790k to 4.4 GHz while leaving all the voltage settings to "Auto" in the BIOS and everything booted up perfectly fine without any problems. Tbh I didn't want to mess with any voltage settings yet, because the Core Voltage setting both in BIOS and in CPU-Z (after I booted up) showed the same number which is 0.344 V, and that confuses me a lot. Shouldn't the Core Voltage be anything around 1.2-1.3 V? I really have no idea why is this number so low, it drives me crazy and I can't find anything similar online about it. Any help appreciated, thanks in advance although it might be a stupid question! ?

at no load the voltage will be lower. I have played around quite a bit with my I7 4790K so if you get stuck or whatever feel free to ask

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016
