I was having cooling problems with my chip at 5ghz with auto voltage applied. It was reaching highs of 85°c. Now I understand this is a safe and reasonable temperature for a Cinebench stress test but just didn't like it running that hot.
I have since lowered the CPU clock to 4.9ghz and set my own manual Vcore voltage to 1.285v and performs a Cinebench run fine at max of 68°c
However, I was a little confused as to why the voltage ran higher on boot than on the actual Cinebench stress test. The voltage rose to 1.284 max just as I turned on my pc and lowered to 1.117v as I was performing the Cinebench test.
Any help would be appreciated, and are these voltages safe?
Build:
CPU: I7 9700k @ 4.9ghz
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Ultra
Cooler: NZXT kraken x62
RAM: 16GB DDR4 Corsair Vengance Pro RGB
Storage: Kingston a400 120gb
UPDATE
I have since lowered my Vcore voltages from 1.285v down to to 1.275v anything under that voltage won't boot my PC. I'm also running Cinebench aswell as AIDA64 stress test. I'm still receiving lows of 1.164v and highs of 1.188v to 1.212v
