I am posting this to ask if 1.330V on a 10850k at idle 4.7ghz is normal it also never boosts to anywhere around 5ghz in game.
 
Solution
It is normal. Many motherboards set the CPU voltage higher than it needs to be set. Your bios might have some options to reduce the voltage if that is what you want. My 10850K can run reliably at 1.20V at that speed.

You have an unlocked K series CPU. You can set it to run at any speed you like as long as you have a Z series board.
