Voltage

[Gankkya]

Hey guys I've recently somewhat finished my desktop build,

but i don't really know about the Voltage and stuff and when 

I go to BIOS it tells me that my Voltage is around 1.700V, and I

was just wondering if that's safe and if it's not, what would be 

the safer option.

here's the specs:

I'm not experience with voltages, but it should be fine. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

If your CPU voltage was at 1.7v your computer would not be working and there would be smoke coming out of your PC.

You're looking at the wrong numbers.

I'll give it a look again but i'm pretty sure it was saying 1.776V

What voltage are you looking at? Screenshot if you don't know what it is.

As pointed out, 1.7V for core voltage would be catastrophic with regular cooling.

Here are what I took... I didn't adjust anything but it was already like that.

That is CPU Input Voltage also referred to as VCCIN.  It is NOT Vcore (CPU Voltage) and is perfectly fine where it is.  VCCIN is the voltage supplied to the on-chip FIVR.

Oh awesome, scared me for a bit, where can I check the actual voltage for my system?

Yeah, I have no idea why AsRock label it like they do in BIOS as it scares the shit out of everyone the first time they see it especially if they aren't familiar with x99 and VCCIN.  If you dig into the BIOS portion of your manual covering FIVR, you'll see that they describe it there.

 

As for determining your CPU voltage (Vcore), download HWinfo64 from here and you'll be able to monitor it and a whole lot more from within Windows.  Good luck with the new beast.

Awesome! Thanks I'll download it as soon as I get in!
