Hi all,

I have a 6700k a Gigabyte Z170 Gaming 7 and having a lot of issues with the dynamic VCore. On a modest 4.4 Ghz OC, I am stable at 1.28 set manually for the VCore. When I put VCore into "normal" - which it says is 1.30V, and set an offset of even -0.010V, I get boot error every time.

Furthermore, the "normal" 1.30V setting with a 0.000 offset is somehow pushing 1.43 V into the CPU on Prime95 and hitting upper 90 degrees within seconds. I have no idea how this is happening.

(I have LLC set on High - I was getting huge VDroops on auto. Ripjaws V with 3200 XMP setting).

Thanks

Nevermind. Still no idea why this happened, but I reset the BIOS twice and now things seem to be working as expected. Hopefully it stays that way.
