I7 4790k Voltage Reading Question

[Dexilon]

Hello guys, i have a question regarding my I7 4790k voltages. Which one of these lines is my core voltage http://prntscr.com/9t6zrj ? I know it says right there CPU VCORE, but something is odd, isnt that a bit too low for prime 95 small FFT stress test at 4.4 Ghz all 4 cores ? Here is a OHWMonitor, it shows the same thing. http://prntscr.com/9t79ec.

Something needs to be different. The voltage is reporting low, and so is the CPU power. The CPU power should be near 90W. It is reporting the fan speeds and temperatures and speeds correctly. No clue why, unless sensors are bad. CPU power is probably calculated from VCORE, rather than measured directly.

If I had to guess, the most normal looking voltages on hwmonitor would be 'vin4'. Maybe try hwinfo64 and see what it comes back with. It's been pretty accurate for me.

As DonkeyOatie pointed out, it could be bad sensors or it could just be that the monitoring software isn't reading the proper sensors that apply to those values on the motherboard.

Yes, install hwinfo64 and look under "vcore"

So here is idle http://prntscr.com/9tegq1 in hwinfo64 and load http://prntscr.com/9teihq. Guess my vcore is normal if i look under Vcore1,Vcore2,Vcore3 and Vcore4?

Yes. That looks fine and everything makes sense. Still don't know why the other stuff does not work on YOUR system when it works in other places.

Thank you all guys

Those look much more typical. Software does its best to interpret data but each motherboard has different sensors and sometimes software can misinterpret or read the wrong sensors for the data it's trying to display. Looks like everything is normal.
