8700k vcore and vid

[SpiralTTGL]

Is this VID normal for under cinebench load

 

vcore stops 1.2v

all cores go to 4.7ghz

and vid goes to 1.4v

 

I measured via hwmonitor

Do you know what the difference between VID and Vcore is?

 

VID - is the voltage your cpu is telling your motherboard it needs.

Vcore- is the voltage being supplied by you motherboard.

 

So VID will be different from every chip depending on the quality of the silicon. It can also be inflated by bios version.

 

Your Vcore is probably a little high, but is well within the safe range. The reason for this is that VID takes into account Vdroop (which is the drop in voltage as load increases) so it will often times display much higher than what is being actually applied.

I knew Vcore was what the cpu was actually getting but I saw VID at 1.4v under full load

 

The VID under idle seems to hover around 1.25 and 1.35 it just keeps going in between those values
