1.3V non clocked 6600k?

[MentalBlank]

I build this pc few days ago and now i realize that my CPU when at 100% the voltage goes around 1.38V (3.9GHz) isn't this too much? I'm newbie to overclocking and this stuff, but i heard when you overclock don't push it beyond 1.3V also i never touched the BIOS setting.

Anything under about 1.42 volts is ok, try to get a higher clockspeed that voltage should be enough

Is this suppose to be 1.38V when at 3.9GHz stock speed? But as i said i never touched the bios setting, i'm going to soon. If it wasn't on auto should i change it to auto?

Are you trying to overclock?

Thats pretty high for stock speed, try to increase ur multiplier in the bios and see if the overclock is stable

What does "auto" mean?

I don't wanna overclock yet, i just want everything on stock speed

Voltage / setting?

So you havent changed anything in the bios?

Nope, but i saw it once at 1.38 Volt and everything else on auto setting but i never touched it, i guess i will reset it to default and if didn't work i find another way.

Set it to auto, it might fix the high voltage

Btw, the hw monitor screenshot doesnt show a 1.38 voltage. Did it really go as high?

I think so, but it got me worryed.

Pretty sure that's the wrong sensor you're looking at. use CPU-Z.

I just checked my bios setting and i was wrong, the 1.3 volt i saw before was my DRAM. I think you right about HWMonitor showing wrong, i will try CPUz

It seem like my CPU uses 1.328V when att full speed, is this normal? The setting that i have in Bios are on auto.

Yea that seems about right. You can lower the voltage if you want for temperature reasons just expect higher chances of crashing at 100% load on all 4 cores.

What do you think of the temprature at 62C? My cooler is Kraken x61.

My 6700K uses 1.24V stock, 1.34 is what I used to overclock to 4.7Ghz.  Try resetting the CMOS on your motherboard. You should have a clear cmos button near the debug-led.  If not, you'll have to look for a pinout of your mobo so you can jump the two prongs with a key or flathead screwdriver.
