Vcore/VID values, Bios vs hwtemp

[pesta01694]

hello, I am new to overclocking. So basically I decided to get some cheapo Pentium G3258 to put on my Asrock z97 extreme 4 and start ocing.

 

there is something that has been bumming me from the very beginning! How is it that in the bios I adjust the Vcore value to 1.34, but than when I benchmark the only value which is rock solid on 1.35 V is VID while Vcore is near 1V ?

 

this happens white every temp/voltage software I use, from OCCT to HWmonitor etc

 

I am obviously missing something here, could someone be so kind to explain to me what?

 

thanks to anyone who will respond

Looks like you need to adjust your Load-Line Calibration perhaps if it is falling under load.  Or, maybe the software is just misreading it.  As long as you are stable and temps are fine...that is the most important thing.

 

What does it read at idle?  What does CPU-Z read?  I'm not familiar with AsRock's bios, but I am sure there is an LLC option somewhere in the power options menu.

thanks for the reply, I'll attach the idle reads and the llc calibration setting (which I have on level one because the mobo reccomends it for oc).

 

I'm not sure if it's a software error or not, I began digging into it because I noticed that every other g3258 owner got a much better oc than mine at the same voltage

here's also cpu-z (at load nothing changes core voltage just bumps to 1.008)
