Haswell Vcore always .9 ? Help!

Hey everyone,

 

In CPUz and OCCT, my 4670k shows as running with a vcore at or around .9

 

Always.

 

Even when idle at stock, and even when under stress test loads when OC'd to 4.3GHz, which is the best I can do with my chip and my cooling.

 

It should run a stable (from my testing) 4.3GHz at 1.235 volts, as that is what I have to set it to in the bios on my MSI z87-G45 gaming MB.

 

 

 

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this issue?

 

Any ideas why the vcore is reporting suspiciously... wrong?

 

(and yes, I had another topic about this, but no real answer yet, so I'm trying again. I don't have a multimeter so I cannot check the voltage points on my board.)

 

Thanks in advance!

CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K
GPU: EVGA Geforce GTX 780

PC hardware still on a budget, 2 graduate degrees later.

So in short no matter what my bios settings are, which DO seem to change frequency and temperature, my Vcore never reads as more than .9V or less than about .9V no matter what conditions its under, at stock as well as overclocked.

There were some issue reported with some boards not showing correctly in CPU-Z with haswell. Mine does show correctly for my Z87 GD65 Gaming, however I did upgrade to the newest bios and I am running CPU-Z 1.64.3X64. Might try both of those if you do not already have them.

Thanks ProKoN, and you too penance.

 

To ProKoN: I installed that utility and it is accurately reading my voltage!

 

To penance: I will be trying that to get CPUz working, my bios is updated already, but my CPUz may not be the correct version.

 

 

 

Anyway, thanks for your help, I appreciate it!

use the stress test located within the software to test your system stability. dont use anything else. its designed by intel so its your best bet!
