Overclock CPU Voltage Fluctuations (It wont stop fluctuating no matter what i do)

[superpiggggg]

My build;
-Intel Core i7‑7700K
-ASUS ROG Maximus IX Hero LGA1151 DDR4 DP HDMI M.2 USB 3.1 ATX Motherboard
-Hydro Series H100i Extreme Performance CPU Cooler
-Hydro GFX GTX 1080 Ti Liquid Cooled Graphics Card
-VENGEANCE® RGB 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz C15 Memory Kit
-AX860i Digital ATX Power Supply — 860 Watt 80 PLUS® PLATINUM Certified Fully-Modular PSU

Screenshots of the current overclock settings i have in my ASUS Bios for reference and what my HW monitor and CPU ID shows.

I have my LLC to 1, because that was the only time i could get my Voltage to around where i put it into the bios on HW Monitor (it still fluctuates like crazy but at least it is at around 1.3V), however when i put it to 1, my Vcore went to 1.280.

What should I do? Seeing my voltage fluctuate in HW Monitor makes me iffy and makes me feel like if it inst set at the voltage i set in the bios then there is no point in continuing until i fix it to where it is steady at the voltage that i set.

It's normal to have voltage fluctuation even if you manually set the voltage, since there are slight variation on CPU core loads.
Also take in consideration that monitoring apps aren't 100% accurate.
For complete accuracy, you'd need to measure voltage at the board. There is a
Some apps might report the requested voltage by CPU but not the actual voltage delivered.

Ok so now that i know that its okay for it to fluctuate like that, should i keep the settings to what i have them at in the bios or should i change them now that i know its okay for them to fluctuate? What would you change personally in what i put in the bios?

Idk to me seeing it fluctuate super low then to what i put it at is just a big red flag to me but if it really doesn't matter then i will continue to overclock and up or lower the volts until stable and tweaked perfectly. (and go off of what the bios says and not HW Monitor)

I would set voltage to 1.35 then test for stability with Prime95...if stable then I will start to lower the voltage.

Ok going to run a prime 95 for a bit (2 hours) and after that game on it and if anything i will lower or raise the voltage if needed, as far as LLC im going to keep it at 5, im still not completely sure about it but that is what a lot of people recommended when i researched.

Ended up running Prime 95 for around 4 hours, then gamed on it for 2 and a half hours, then after ran a RealBench stress test for an hour, then another follow up stress test for just 15 min. 4.8 GHz at 1.3 V LLC set at 5, lets hope this stays as stable as it did today.

That looks very good.
Make sure to keep an eye on temperatures.
