I have an i7 6700k (not overclocked, turbo enabled) and I initially had everything on auto on bios but I've realized that the voltages were set too high (my mobo is ASUS Z170-A) so I've managed to get better voltage by setting it to adaptive mode (+0.001 offset and turbo vcore on auto). Now the CPU vcore is way better, I get somewhere between 1.15V to 1.23 (on turbo mode). Ran a lot of tests, everything is stable and fully working.
The issue that concerns me are temp spikes, I know there are a few threads on this, but it seems that the spikes are common on AUTO voltage settings which I just changed. The cpu temp goes for a split second from like 20 degrees to 45-50 degrees and then 20 again just by opening Chrome for example. CPU cooling is a Corsair H115i, I can assure you that I don't have any contact issues between the pump and the CPU, and temps are extremely fine (around 60 degrees max after 1 hour of intense testing).
So at such low voltages, is this a normal behaviour for skylake architecture? Or is my chip faulty? It's a really annoying situation because my case fans go revving like crazy for split seconds because of sudden CPU temp increase...
