    stock i7 6700k sitting at 1.4v without any modifications

    Well I had tried doing it per core earlier, but I'm pretty sure nothing happened. I can't do it right now because I'm halfway through installing the witcher 3 and I don't want to lose my progress (it's happened before). Also, I can't believe I did this, there is no setting for 'boost...

    stock i7 6700k sitting at 1.4v without any modifications

    Hey sorry for not replying earlier, I was just planning my next step. I went back to default to make sure I hadn't accidentally hit (or missed) something when I disabled turbo, but I got the same result where the frequency was limited to 4000. But do I need to make changes to the speed states...

    Right, I've switched back and changed the settings. I watched tutorials by Paul's Hardware, LinusTT and an ROG specific one by der8auer, and none of them actually disabled turbo boost, so I'm completely confused as to what I should do, after all I did seem to have a stable overclock with turbo...

    stock i7 6700k sitting at 1.4v without any modifications

    Ok I feel a bit stupid now because I forgot that changing the power plan to high performance set the min frequency to 100% (I changed back to balanced). But I played an hour of CS:GO, and (I know you said it sucks but HWinfo just wasn't opening for some reason) HWmonitor reported the max...

    To be honest I haven't heard anything about disabling turbo boost until you mentioned it. I've done everything you've said now, and the bios has changed from saying target turbo frequency is 4.5 to target frequency is 4.5. However, I haven't seen the frequency go above 4.0. Could you explain...

    Sounds good. Now, I am currently stress-testing my CPU on prime95 on a 4.5 GHz overclock. I have set the voltage in the bios to 1.30v, however both CPU-Z and HWmonitor are reporting the core VID at around 1.35 (constantly changing), and HWmonitor is saying that the VID has even gone up to 1.44v...

    stock i7 6700k sitting at 1.4v without any modifications

    I built my PC a couple months ago, and everything has been performing fine up until recently. Temps were in the mid 20's and CPU voltage range appeared to be normal. However, without any action on my part (that I can recall) the CPU nowadays always sits at about 1.4v no matter the load, however...
