New build need help ASAP

[ZETA]

Hey guys just put together my parts yesterday and everything seems fine

But my voltages seem to high might be just me... So I want your opinion

The CPU runs at 3.9 at idle mode for some reason

And bellow I'll leave a pic of my mobo setting witch I think are not ok!

I never did this before

Can anyone help it to find wich are the right settings

Thanks in advance

Still haven't explained what the actual problem is.

[19_blackie_73]

which parts do you have? It'd help a lot.... Sure it is not the clock speed (ghz)?

[nicholician]

That's pretty high for an idle cpu. some sort of software is obviously pushing it to run that fast at "idle". Can you give us a list of the software you have installed on your new build?

This is also a problem, but I'll try to help from what little information is given anyhow.

i got

 

4770k 

asrock h81m-hds

8gb ram

120ssd 

intel stock cooler for now 

windows 8.1 just installed yesterday there's no programs on it yet 

[19_blackie_73]

did you install all drivers, my cpu was first also at full speed although it idled....

Okay, first question is why would you put a 4770k on an H81 board?

Second question, why are you confused that it's running at 3.9Ghz? That's its default turbo clock.

 

And the voltages do seem high.

I read the post before the picture was up so yeah...

i had a 4770k laying around i upgraded my main build recently 

so i just needed a cheap mobo that would do the trick, 

i just want to know if i have to play with the MOBO settings and if yes, which settings should i change

i havent yet, done all the updates just worried to keep running the computer, scared that the chip will fry lol

See if you can turn down the VCORE voltage, try to take it down to 1.2 volts, but going down in small increments?

 

Please ignore.

It looks to me like your motherboard is reading the input voltages of your PSU. There's a 12v rail, a 5v rail, and a 3.3v rail, and it looks like it's just telling you what they're actually outputting. Your CPU VCore is running at 1.29V, which is well within standard limits if you've overclocked or left adaptive voltage on.

i think you are right  

 

 

with the intel stock cooler (witch will be replaced later) im on the BIOS and its showing 62c temp is that normal?

Yes, but please stop using the stock cooler ASAP.

That's fine. 80°C is the high range of where your CPU should be. The reason to get an aftermarket cooler is so you can actually overclock and not hit that thermal limit. If you overclocked on your stock cooler, you can't really do much of anything as you'll hit that thermal limit.

i havent OC, and the only thing i did on the BIOS was set it to default settings, i donnt plan OC this chip right now, should i go to the BIOS and turn off adaptive voltage?

thanks for all of your help

You can, but it won't really yield you any benefit. The danger of adaptive voltage is if you're stress testing and the motherboard spikes the voltage sent to the CPU to remain stable. It's something you should always turn off when overclocking because your voltages are already higher than normal to begin with, but it's not terribly important for standard use. It wouldn't hurt to turn it off though, but if you got a bad chip you might have to figure out where exactly you are and what you need to set to be stable. It'll open a small can of worms you'll have to address anyway the moment you start overclocking.

 

...wait you have a K series CPU with an h81 board? Nevermind Don't worry about it. You can't really overclock anyway as even if you don't overheat the CPU, you risk overheating the VRMs. Power delivery will be a problem even if your h81 board circumvents the built-in overclocking restrictions of the chipset.

thank you so much for taking the time to help me out! 

i will leave it the way it is,,,,, and yes i dont plan in OC with this mobo just need it to run smooth, and i will change the cpu cooler
