CPU voltage question, fluctuates.

[friggit]

Hey guys, my Core i5 2500k finally died after 5 months. I was running it at 1.5v at 5.2ghz nonstop. I replaced it with a Core i7 2700k and have a question. I noticed that the voltage likes to fluctuate, i have the VCore set at 1.45v in the BIOS. However, with CPU-Z and Evga E-Leet utility, i see that it stays around 1.388v-1.411v. It NEVER goes up to the set voltage. It's running at 4.5ghz right now. Here are my specs:

Core i7 2700k
Evga z68 FTW motherboard
Corsair HX1000
GTX 480x2
256gbSSDx2

I seriously doubt that the PSU is going bad, it runs like a champ when gaming. Please let me know if you guys need more information, i'd like to get this issue resolved.

EDIT: If you guys think it is all right, then let me know also.

do you have load line calibration set, or the VDDC lowered?

What kind of cooling are you using?

Just run 4.5ghz with 1.3V.

Sorry for the late response, been busy at work. I'm using a Corsair H100 cooler. And, what do you mean by "do you have load line calibration set". Like, turned on? I really have no clue what that is.

by default it will be off, and when it's off the cpu will decrease it's voltage as it gets hotter
