i5 4670k voltage

[DominicNikon]

i put my 4670k at 4.6ghz with 1.360V but when stress testing each second it changes from 1.38V to 1.36V is this bad?

@DominicNikon that was a might fast bump, it hasn't even been an hour. 

My guess is that your voltage is not set to manual mode. If you stress devil's canyon chips with anything other than manual mode, you get huge voltage pulls. Only stress test when you are using manual voltage mode.

That's a bit too much voltage, why so much?

So? You still shouldn't cross 1.25v to be safe, 1.35v if you don't care about how long it lasts. Heat isn't what kills a CPU, voltage is.

But it's your money to spend, and yes you have to set the voltage to fixed/manual and off adaptive to not have it fluctuate.

ok i have it stable at 1.34V

Depending on your bios there are different was to set the voltage so that it doesn't fluctuate. Should be in the manual. I wouldn't use anything other than the bios to adjust the voltage though, that can cause issues.
