I have a core i7 4790k and Gigabyte Z97 Gaming 3 motherboard.
By default settings, the CPU runs at 4.4 Ghz on all cores when turbo boost is enabled.
The problem is that CPU voltage is automatically adjusted in BIOS at 1.28V which is way too high. In full load HWMonitor shows 1.30V
Then I manually adjusted the core voltage to 1.2V from BIOS. I ran Aida64 for several hours without any errors. HWMonitor shows 1.22V in full load.
Intel Extreme Tuning Utility gives the option to change the core voltage from static to adaptive. If I set the voltage to static, CPU-Z and HWinfo64 show 1.2V in both iddle and full load while HWMonitor shows 0.75-0.8V in iddle and 1.22V in full load. Which one is right and which one is wrong ? Is the voltage static or it's still adaptive as HWMonitor says ?
If I set the voltage to adaptive, all of them show 0.75-0.8V in iddle. In full load, CPU-Z and HWinfo show 1.28V and HWMonitor 1.30V.
No matter what voltage I set manually from BIOS, the CPU runs at 1.3V in full load with adaptive voltage which is a lot more than it needs to be stable.
