i7 6700k Core Volt Vlidation needed.

[Praesi]

Hi Guys. I need a validation of my Core Volteg here.

 

Im paranoid, so forgive me

 

I set all OC related settings in Bios back to default, which means 1.224v core voltage. Yet Aida&Co show me different peaks, which was´nt the case with my OCed vs stock 2500k. 

Is it just measure inaccuracy here?

 

 

Thanks in advance

If you leave stuff on Auto, the mobo will bounce voltage up and down to please it's liking. Whatever shows up, can be considered "normal".

 

Put it at a fixed voltage, though, and then we can talk.

Should i set a fixed voltage with stock clockspeed here?

 

I decided to go back to stock atm because i dont get more fps for now in cpu heavy games.

If you want to, yes. Will help you keep thermals in check for an even quieter and more efficient PC.

But why is the voltage jumping above and below the (default) 1.224v and is hitting almost the "aircooling border" of 1.325v without beeing overclocked? Sorry for asking this, GPU overclocking isnt that confusing.

Because there's no such thing as "default". The mobo uses whatever it want's to on auto. If it thinks your load demands 1.2v to be stable, it'll use 1.2; but the moment the load changes and the thinks "oh, maybe he'll need 1.3v now to be stable", it'll shoot the voltage to those 1.3 or whatever. With or without OCing, though this get's worse when there's an OC applied.

So the 1.224v set as default is just a "direction" for the Bios and not carved in stone. In other Words, everything is as it should be?

 

Did i mentioned that im paranoid?

Yes. Nothing seems out of the ordinary.
