I5 2500K Voltage issue

[Guest]

My i5 with Cooler Master 212+ on it is at 1.240 volts at STOCK speeds, everything in the BIOS is set to AUTO. Is this NORMAL?

ALSO, whenever I overclock to 4.5 GHz and i set VCORE to 1.250 or even 1.280 i get BSOD. I set it to AUTO and it boots perfectly but after boot when i check the VCORE it says 1.400.



CPU: i5 2500K
Mobo: Asus P67 Sabertooth
RAM: 2x4 GB G.Skill Sniper 1600 MHz 1.5 V
GPUs: Asus GTX 560 1 GB
Evga GeForce 9600 512 MB

Alright, thanks to both of you. I will start Overclocking but first I think I am going to remove my CM 212+ see what I did wrong and re-paste it and set it back up again. Really helped with everything, thanks!

best of luck on your oc, if you can keep us updated on how it goes!

edit: if you have to room in your case, a very cheap upgrade is to get a second fan for your CM and use a push/pull system. this should knock your temps down several degrees
