Software Reads Voltage Higher Than Set

[VicciVicVic]

For some reason all of my software reads that my CPU is at 1.504 volts when fully stressed. I have it in adaptive mode with a 1.000 volt normal voltage and .400 volt Turbo Boost voltage, meaning that the maximum overall Turbo Boost voltage should only be 1.400 volts. I am very worried as I do not want to kill or damage my CPU.

CPU: i5 6600K
MoBo: Asus Z170-p

What is showing 1.504v? CPU VCORE or CPU VID? What software are you using? I'm guessing you are looking at VID, that is not your true core voltage CPU VCORE is. That cpu would run VERY hot if it was indeed at 1.5v. Your true VCORE should actually be lower than what you set in the bios under load due to VDROOP, unless you have a very high LLC setting.

It reads 1.504 in all of my monitoring software, meaning, HWMonitor, Aida64, and CPU-Z. It reads 1.504 whether i look at the VID in HWMonitor and Aida64 or the VCORE in CPU-Z.

What temps are you getting under load? 1.5v through that cpu will likely produce way more heat under load than your 212x is going to cope with, I would expect it to throttle on all cores shortly after starting a stress test in aida64 or something. If it is indeed at 1.5v then you have it set up wrong, I personally dont use adaptive mode at all, so I would recommend you try manual mode and set "cpu core voltage override" to your desired voltage.

I get around 80c under stress testing in Aida64 and no throttling.
