I've overclocked my Xeon X5450 with auto VCore voltage because when i increase voltage little bit system won't boot. After stability test i've checked CPU-Z it says voltage is 1.456V i'm shocked. Then i've check it with AIDA 64 it says 1.2375V it's my stock voltage. Is that problem causing by auto voltage setting?

There are my bios settings. Is something wrong on bios settings i'll change it.

And you are positive everything you are reading is vcore and not VID? There's a difference. VID is the voltage that the cpu asks from the mobo, vcore is what it actually uses. To keep temps down, VID should not be much above vcore. If you have VID set high, that's what the VRM's will supply, no matter what the cpu actually needs. Often happens with Auto settings to guarantee stability.

MSI version of cpu-z reads VID. Asus ROG version of cpu-z reads vcore. Had to look close to see the difference.
