Evening! I just built a new to me PC with a 4790K, MSI Mpower Z97 Max AC and a GTX 1080. I got the system up and running but when i went to go into the BIOS to start overclocking i noticed all the voltages were extremely high. This of course set off alarms in my head and I decided to come to the aid of the internet for this one. I've tried lowering the core voltage to the stock voltage but after saving and restarting AIDA still shows it at 2.016. I'll post Imgur links screenshots from my BIOS at the bottom. I'm worried now about the longevity of the CPU (I understand i bought a used CPU, but it was a great deal and money has been tight) but now i want to correct the issue.

Here is what I've done so far:

Updated BIOS

Cleared CMOS

Tried manually entering in just core voltage to 1.250

Thanks in advance!
