Hello everyone my cpu voltages on my i7 8700k have been going higher than set on bios settings i have my voltage at 1.2 at 4.5 ghz but sometimes it goes up to 1.3/1.4

my windows powerplan is set at high performance

during gaming i have some fps drops down to 60 fps sometimes 30 very quickly witch results on stutters i think it may be the voltages maybe because my temps while playing dont go over 60 c and only spikes to 60 c it doesnt stay there normally is in the 50's

i tried leaving some settings on bios as default but it still hapens idk why


here are my bios settings after overclocking maybe i did something wrong as i dont really understand much about overclocking

Your BIOS screenshot tells me you're working with an Asus board but you didn't mention the model of your Asus board. You should also include your specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:

Are you on the latest BIOS update for your motherboard?
my bad forgot to mention
my specs are the following

CPU: i7800 k at 4.5 ghz
Motherboard: Asus Prime z730-p
Ram:Ripjaws 2x8gb DDR4/2400 Mhz
SSD/HDD: HDD seagate 2 TB / SSD kingston 120 gb with windows on it
GPU:GTX 1080 8gb (OC)
PSU:630 W Thermaltake Berlin 80+
Chassis:Ibuypower element
OS:Windows 10 pro fresh intall
Bios: updated today to the latest version

something is just not right with my pc i feel like i should have stable frames on on games especially fortnite but it doesnt feels smooth at all high fps drops , stuttering , i get screen tear if locked at my monitor hz if i go higher fps like 160 i get no tearing but image feels laggy mouse movement too , its very weird i tried so many stuff to optimize settings but still the same
