Hey everyone,
I am planning to overclock my CPU and want to get it high enough to support my 3200MHz RAM but I am very new to overclocking and was reading through some of the stickies on this forum. I was doing a benchmark baseline for my CPU at stock when I noticed that CPUID's Hardware monitor was recording a very high Vcore [~1.45v] so I checked the hardware monitor that came with my motherboard utilities and noticed it was significantly lower.
If the CPUID one is correct then the CPU at stock is at a higher Vcore than the recommended maximum of this CPU of 1.35v. I was wondering if anyone could help me work out if this is just a problem with the software or if it actually is running higher than it should be.
My Build:
Intel i5 6600K
Corsair H60 SE
Gigabyte Z170X - Gaming 5
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2*8GB) @ 3200Mhz (OC) [Currently at 2133Mhz]
Antec High Current Gamer (900W)
XFX Radeon R9 380 (4GB)
The Vcore recordings:

Hopefully this can be resolved
