a VCORE spike up to 1.308v is that normal ?

[maria2244]

I'm always running hwinfo64 in the backround

and today while checking the temp I noticed this

core 0 vid 1.314v

core 1 vid 1.309v

core 2 vid 1.305v

core 3 vid 1.307v

 

Vcore 1.308 v

usualy vcore can get up to 1.292v max

first time I see 1.308v vcore spike

 

I have i7 6700k

gigabyte z170x gaming 5

not overclocked

all bios settings default

It's nothing to worry about.

Normally (if load-line calibration is disabled) you'll notice a significant drop in CPU voltage when the processor goes from an idle state to a load state.

 

This voltage drop is called vdroop. Because of this and in an effort to please overclockers, motherboard manufacturers created load line calibration to help reduce vdroop

 

Load line calibration can cause your voltage to exceed what you set in the BIOS. Check it which level you set in BIOS.

But it is normal what you have

thanks

but any chance load line calibration can cause the vcore to go maybe up to 1.4 or 1.5 and damage the cpu ?

as I said before all of my bios settings set to default

as I don't khnow how to overclock and I don't play with the bios settings .

Considering that there have been cases of overvoltage with stock setting in other platforms, sure there's a chance, but like I said earlier, it's nothing to worry about.

 

VCore is reported on most motherboards in 16 mV increments.  Your VCore fluctuation was probably smaller than what you observed.

 

There's no need to adjust anything.  Just enjoy the rig.

If your bios settings set to default,  that lets the BIOS automatically configure this LLC setting and sets the voltage following Intel's specifications.

It can not cause the vcore to go over 1.4V, if you set 1,292V
