I7 4930k very low voltage?

[mariussteenangell]

So I'm trying to overclock my 4930k, and even tho i have tried overclocking before, I got very little experience. I have OC'd the I7 to 4.5GHz, but Open Hardware Monitor and CPU-Z is saying it's at 0.6V. This sounds very low. I'm getting 1100-1200 score in Cinebench, and hitting just above 60c after one run. Core voltage is at +0.005V in the BIOS.

Is my lack of skills making me miss something, or could CPU-Z and Open Hardware Monitor be reading wrong?

Thank you!

Obviously something is not right with the sensor because you could not get to 60C on .6V, and there is no way the OC would be stable during benchmarks. Does the bios also show .6v?

I forgot to mention that it usually says just under 1V in the BIOS. The highest I have seen so far is 1.008V in the BIOS.
Motherboard is the Asus X79-Deluxe.

You should run a stress test like prime95 and see what the cpu voltage is listed at when it is under 100% load. I never use cinebench so I'm not sure how cpu intensive it is.

Your OC is working. 4.6Ghz gives around that number too.

Could be a bad sensor or incompatibility. What is the max VID on HWMonitor?
