Is a unnecassarily high CPU voltage an issue?

[dulix11]

hello,

i OC'd my 3570k to 4.0GHz on a ASRock Z77M, and I don't think I manually modified the voltage in the BIOS.

I know the highest voltage for the 3570k is 1.25v, and CPU-Z says my voltage usually hovers between 0.900v and 1.050v.

Should I lower the voltage in the BIOS down to 0.900v, and see if that changes anything?

And then lower it to 0.850v if it boots up correctly, and then lower it each time until the computer still boots up?

Thanks

Those voltages are fine. But in general, yes, too much voltage is bad, but your is not near too much. Actually pretty low.
