MAXIMUS X HERO question

[Ropbb]

i am looking to upgrade my pc (currently have an i7 4790k).

found the Maximux X hero and was really interested (my current build is using the old hero) but i found that at stock speeds the motherboard was feeding to much voltage to the cpu along the lines of 1.3~ to 1.4~ volts. with the multi core enhancement disabled 

 

all the info i found was quite old so i want to know if this is no longer an issue when running at stock speeds with the newer BIOS updates.

 

Thanks.

Hi

The "sync all cores" is high. It is also stable. 

To give you an idea, here are some tests with a Maximus X hero & a i7 8086k at 5ghzs.

so there is no problem with the higher voltage (except higher temperatures)?

 

it still dont understand why tho, i have seen pics of the strix z370e running at like 1.13 to 1.31 volts stock (no MCE) with a 7800k.

 

also would you recommend the HERO over the STRIX board? i don't plan on having an OC on the cpu all the time since it gets pretty hot were i live like 30c-42c in the summer, so im not that sure even with the h100i i currently have.

My plan was to get a STRIX board but after seeing & reading this review I went with the Hero.
