i5 6600k 4.4Ghz set at 1.28V but keeps on going between 1.296V and 1.312V when running aida64.

Aida64 the voltage keeps on switching every few seconds but not on Prime95 even though the temperatures reach higher on Prime95 up to 77C and average at about 66C.

I'm not sure if this is fine to leave it as it is or change a setting in the BIOS to stop it from switching.

Thanks

It will depend a lot on what test you are running. If you are testing for stability, running Prime 95 small ffts will stress only your CPU and cache. Which is what you want. Running a blend test or whatever will not get the CPU to it's max temp per given voltage, which is essential in OC'ing.

I don't really use Aida so can't say what test you are running, but unless you are running a CPU specific test, then the temps may very will differ between Aida and Prime. Best stick to one tool, and be clear about your objectives.

With all that said, please list your full specs so we can make a better determination.

Voltage fluctuates, thats why you have load line calibration in your motherboard settings.

Alright so I ran Prime95 with ffts and the max temp peaked at about 78C. It now reaches 1.312V and stays there throughout the benchmark for 10 minutes.
I just want to know if this is a safe voltage since some reported that 1.3V-1.4V may be pushing it and reducing it's lifespan quite a bit. My plan was to keep it under 1.3 if possible but I guess it depends on the chip.
