Is this voltage too high?

I've started overclocking, and there doesn't seem to be a voltage adjustment in the BIOS, so I just increased the multiplier, and the voltage scaled with it. But the voltage just seems a bit high.

Here's an AIDA64 CPUID window with stats:

Keep in mind that, even at 1.5V, my temps are resting at 50 degrees celcius max, at socket temp, and 40 something at the cores. If my temps are fine, then the volts aren't dangerous, right?

 

Oh, before I forget, I'm NOT using adaptive voltages.

Run a stress test and find out. Atleast an hour.

Done a 15-20 minute one each time I raise the multiplier. So far, no problems.

Go longer for the final one. I though 20 minutes would of been fine but started having crashes on my cousins PC. Lowered the overclock a smidge and ran a 6 hour stress test while we went out to lunch.

Motherboard manual (Chapter 3 Page 18) says in the OC section you should have a CPU Voltage/ CPU-NB Voltage tweak function in the list.

Even tho the PIC in the manual, doesn't show it either, the manual says it should be there.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

On my final one, gonna do a 1 hour test. If I'm showing problems after this, then I'll do a longer stress test, and extrapolate from there.

I see CPU ratio, CPU-NB ratio, but no voltage control. And in my manual, it does say stuff about voltages, but I'm just gonna have to dig around.

VERY HIGH!!!

AMD processors have different operating voltages compared to Intel processors. 

 

In this case OP is fine. As long as the cooling is up to scratch.

Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example.

While doubtful, maybe an updated bios has it...

Unless your on the latest.
