So i did a stress test to check load temps the other day, as usually all cores went to 4.2ghz under full load. cpu vcore 1.168 volts avgly, 1.172 max was recorded

 

idle: 26-28C

load: 52 avg peak 57

 

now since then ive noticed that the cpu Vcore is now saying 1.24 max, still running 44 degrees at 20% flat ultisation, 4.4ghz speed (due to speed step and on a low intensive game) Voltages are all default, Are they looking completely fine? I'm new to overclocking. At the moment i have no need to. Are the voltages nothing to be concerned about and is it just part of the 4.4ghz boost, with 4.2ghz across all cores avging at 1.168 during stress

 

1st picture is just after the stress test when almost idle, second picture is one today with the Vcore being 1.24

1.24v is perfectly fine

 

If it was 1.35 or 1.4 I would start to get nervous 

 

But it sounds like its staying pretty cool, I wouldn't worry about it

yeh, well stress test put it to 1.168 max when its underload with the 4.2ghz, seems fine, just saw 1.24 and thought, thats about high from what ive read. guess it's down to the 4.4ghz normal boost under light load.

Just managed 25 idle touching 24 and holding, probably due to it's raining outside and it being winter. Lowest i've seen it, and it's broke it's own record for the single core temp, 20 degrees, prev record was 23

 

cpu fan is only on 30% i believe, cuz i prefer custom curve over default 20%. usually idles around 27-28

1.24 is just the standard voltage from the mobo I got mine down to 1.15 on stock voltage
