Question I5 13600K HIGH VOLTAGES

[autoblogart]

HELLO I JUST BOUGHT MY CPU 2 DAYS AGO which is I5 13600K Boxed brand new
These below are my specs all brand new and bought 2 days ago

MY SPECS:
- I5 13600K
- Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE ARGB
- Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite DDR4
- 16x2=32GB DDR4 3200mhz CL 16 Corsair LPX
- MSI MPG A850G
- MSI 112R
- WINDOWS 10 PRO 64

- So I do see that my voltages are reaching 1.442v which I know is too high for my CPU

-BIOS UPDATED TO LATEST VERSION (F12)

- Everything is stock and I did not touch any setting in Bios except for Enabling XMP

Please help what should I do

That's about right, I have 2 13600K's in my household. One's a trash tier low binned chip that runs at 1.4+ frequently. The other one never goes above 1.25V. It's Intel's binning. Honestly, the 1.4+V chips should've never left the factory as it uses so much more power than the higher binned chips. This is all with the latest voltage fixed bios on the same motherboard using Intel default settings

Oh crap, and what to do now ? is the 1.4v safe ? what to do ?

 

[autoblogart]

Check your BIOS settings about CPU Voltages maybe some settings changed.

I have reset everything to default and set the XMP as well to 3200mhz and that's it I haven't touched anything

Be comforted that the warranty has been extended .

As an experiment see how you do if you run the ram at default settings without activating xmp.
Intel performance is not much impacted by ram speed.

It's safe. I've been running the same voltages for over 2 years now as they were launch chips. Only my 13900K went bad.

I had a similar problem, I bought a second hand 13600KF and it worked with too high voltage. This great video helped.

But your voltage did not reach 1.442 V, it is Core VIDs, you have to look at the Vcore value in the motherboard group.

Unfortunately I have changed the country to another country in africa instead of canada where I bought the cpu from amazon , I bought it from amazon then took it with me to the current country which is morocco

I do see in the gigabyte bios voltage monitor it's 1.443v ,
Did you lose some performance ? frequencies went down ?

 

[rene641]

I did not lose, the CPU reaches 5092 MHz. DVID -0.05V, not less, for stability.

I will try and let you the results

Oooh really at Vcore now it's showing max 1.24v

 

[rene641]

I'm glad it helped you. Unlike the video, I have PL1 125W and PL2 181W.

Thank you so much Rene you are amazing

By the way I did set it to 181w in both PL1 AND PL2 and I was able to go to -0.125 stable however I preferred to stick to 0.085v
Also I did set the IA VR limit to 1360 instead of 1400


And may I know what are your current voltages right now ?

 

[rene641]

My current voltages in HWInfo are 0.708 Vcore min and 1.284 Vcore max. I haven't noticed any drop in performance and everything runs to my satisfaction. On the other hand, 1.45V is not a disaster and the CPU should survive it without problems, it just heats up unpleasantly and consumes more. I personally believe that part of the problem is also on Gigabyte's side and that the motherboard drives the volts unnecessarily high in the default settings.

According to Intel, maximum operating voltage of 13th Gen processors is 1.72v, also state running 1.5v under gaming loads is absolutely fine.

Yes I agree with you that Gigabyte is driving insane Voltages to be honest I have noticed it as well

And what about your Multicore cinebench score Rene ?

They are just lying It will die Lava don't believe them dude

And what about your Multicore cinebench score Rene ?

I downloaded Cinebench, set PL1=PL2=181W and my Cinebench multicore score is 23694. Nothing special, but I'm happy with it. I have an older and cheaper motherboard than yours, mine is a Gigabyte Z690 UD DDR4.
