Hi. Question. If i put high performance power mode in win 10 on 8700k ,my clocks will be 4700mhz and voltage 1.4v on idle, so it will be the same like i run some heavy cpu game?


I ask because somebody said this:"My 8700Ks idle nicely at 5.0 all cores on High Performance @ 25-28C because there’s no load and voltage is minimal. 
Load is what kicks the voltage up to max and then the heat cometh. 
"

 

So?

I was thinking that voltage will be the same , no matter idle or load if i put to high performance?! And heat doesnt matter.

You should definitely not be running at 1.4V, that's bad. Does the voltage go that high in other power modes but under load? 

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.
