1.7v Stock on 4790k?

[craydawg]

I installed my new Gigabyte Gaming -5 Z97 and 4790k last night and when I went into BIOS the Voltage for the core said 1.7v Speedfan shows 1.779v and I didn't get around to installing CPU-Z last night to see what that said. I had go with stock cooler for a bit until I get an 1150 bracket for my Corsair H110 so temps are not great '44c idle'. Still doesn't seem right at 1.7v.

 

I did some in timeline rendering with the DenoiserII plugin in Premiere CC and the render time is much worse for a 450 frame clip compared to my previous 8350 setup.  2min 13sec v 3min 21sec

 

Also my 1600mhz Kingston Beast ram is showing as 1333mhz in the BIOS it can be turned up easily, i'm just curious as to why that would be. Would that be effecting my render times that much? 

 

Any help is appreciated as always. I would like to have my new $480 setup performing as it should, because something is definitely off here.

um...

unless your running Liquid Nitrogen

something is wrong with 1.7 volts on air...

maybe a defective VRM on the CPU?

Ummm thats deffently not right, if you can find out were a read point for CPU voltage is on the board use a Multi meter and read it that way.

Update your bios immediately and after that load optimized defaults. For the ram turn XMP on.

1.779V on a Haswell Refresh CPU. Kek

 

Turn down for temps!

[airdeano]

you need to update the UEFI to F5 as the overvoltage for the CPU was a common problem.

EDIT: Airdeno just posted the link. Thank you for the help. I'lll give this a shot this afternoon and see if that fixes it.

Are you sure you're not looking at CPU Input Voltage (VCCIN)? 1.7-1.9v is perfectly fine.

 

Vcore should be somewhere between 1.05-1.15v stock. 1.7v would instantly result in a thermal shutdown (you'll be hitting 100C faster than you can blink).

I had this happen to me as well with my sniper z97 mobo. It was throwing 1,450 volts at my 4790k as well when I first booted it. These GB z97  mobos apparently come with older bioses that do not support Devil's canyon CPUs right off the bat, wich was one of the things about z97.  Which is WTFunny.... 

Also, runit3 is probably right. Make sure you are looking at the vcore. ;]

I can't get the BIOS update to run. Is there something else that I need to do to make it work? Looks like I was looking at CPU VRIN which is at 1.7v VCORE is .85v. Now though I want to get all of my drivers and bios stuffs up to date so I can get this thing working like it should. Rendering times are still awful.

If it's the CPU input voltage, the value is going to be higher than the CPU's current voltage.

1.7v would kill the CPU, probably the VCCIN you're reading.

Yea no, I went full tard. BIOS help tho pl0x? Want to have that all squared away to then i'm going to start to OC it.

Gar that be what I meant.
