setting the core voltage when overclocking

So then in regards to my original question is the difference in the vcore I set and my cpu-z reading OK?

And off topic how did you get you 3770k to 5.1Ghz on that cooler ??

Even 1.28 is lower than my own recommended maximum for Ivy, which is 1.3. If you don't want the voltage to increase though, just don't use prime95.

I'm an overclocker... So yeah, also I got an excellent chip

Iv set my core voltage to 1.265 however when running prime95 it goes up to 1.28 on cpu-z and stays there. I understand you want the voltage you set and the one you get when benchmarking to be as close together as possible, so is this difference acceptable or should I try get them closer to one another ?

You might want to use another stress testing utility like Intel Extreme Tuning Utility.

That happens to me when im stress testing as well. To me, i take it as its sucking more to kinda stablize it a bit. I may be wrong tho.

That's a problem with Prime95. It has hugger priveledges than other stress testing utilities, it can call for more voltage to be delivered to the CPU at its discretion. For this reason you shouldn't use it on Haswell CPU's as Haswell gets really hot when more voltage is applied

What are the benefits of Intel extreme tuning in terms of vcore? Will it give me different results ?

In terms of vdroop I have compensated with LLC hence why my cpu-z reading is higher not lower then the voltage I set.

I use ivy bridge

Ivy is pretty resilient to voltage, so prime95 is a good test to run... Also, on relation to your previous question I assume you mean Intel burn test, Intel burn test can't call for extra voltage as far as I'm aware.

Even 1.28 is lower than my own recommended maximum for Ivy, which is 1.3. If you don't want the voltage to increase though, just don't use prime95.

No. He meant Intel Extreme Tuning Utility.
