OEM license = tied to the very first computer, can't be transferred to another RETAIL license = can be transferred to another computer So unfortunately you won't be able to use that license on your new build.

Ok so apparently I misread everything, I was looking at "VID" values which are apparently much higher than the actual VCORE. With all settings on auto, I get around 1.26-1.27 volts on full load, however, when not in load I would sometimes get over 1.33 even, but really for short periods of time...

It is a clean install, yes. I always reinstall everything when I change the hardware. The voltage does go up and down, but it does not seem to match what I set on BIOS (since I set the voltage as manual, shouldn't it be exactly the way I set it?). For example, I set the voltage to 1.35V, but on...

Hello everyone, So I bought an i9 10900k and an ASUS Z490 Maximus XII Formula and I already ran into some issues. I have updated the bios to latest version (0607), and now I am trying to set a manual voltage for the CPU because as always, AUTO voltages seem to be extremely high (close to 1.4...

Thanks for the replies. @Paperdoc i will try to do that when I get home and post here the results.

Hello everyone, My issue is as follows: for various reasons I have to unplug the PC from the outlet. Whenever I plug it back, my PC automatically turns itself on for some seconds (actually the case fans ramp up, not sure if the system actually tries to boot or whatever), and then it turns off...

Hi everyone, I just finished my build with a 9900k and a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus PRO motherboard. I did not OC the CPU yet, I did a lot of stress testing using various programs (Intel XTU stress test, Realbench, Prime95 etc) and also ran Memtest for couple of hours and everything seems to be...

I have an i7 6700k (not overclocked, turbo enabled) and I initially had everything on auto on bios but I've realized that the voltages were set too high (my mobo is ASUS Z170-A) so I've managed to get better voltage by setting it to adaptive mode (+0.001 offset and turbo vcore on auto). Now the...
