High CPU Voltage ?

Lower the voltage with either offset or manual mode without removing XMP. How far you can lower depends on your chip's silicon quality.

 

Keep in mind that 4.2GHz is only reached when only 1 core is used.

Hi everyone. 

 

The cpu is 6700k first of all and i do use 2x8 cl15 2400mhz kingston ram

 

I did have a problem that my CPU was stuck at 4GHz and not boosting up to 4.2GHz.

 

So i did enable the xmp through the BIOS and the problem is that when i look at cpu-z it shows me  1.328 to 1.344 V of voltage which seemed high to me(on idle).

 

So should i keep the XMP or disable it ? I do have a high end cpu fan cooler and thats it.
