Vcore spike up to 1.308V normal ?

[sosolola]

today according to hwinfo64 I noticed my i76700k Vcore max was 1.308V core 0 vid 1.314V core 1 vid 1.309V core 2 vid 1.305V core 3 vid 1306V usually cpu vcore can get up to 1.292V but it"s the first time it spike up to 1.308V. .i have i76700k Not overclocked and gigabyte z170x gaming 5 bios at default settings .

a spike of a few hundredths of a volt is hardly any to worry about

though your voltage seems a bit high compared to my 6600k i only need 1.344v for 4.7ghz

though yours isnt the first 6700k i have seen on here that seems to have kind of a high default voltage

For some reason, motherboard manufacturers are tossing in high voltage presets for their "auto" overclocks. So yes this is normal. As a matter of fact I have the same processor and see this behavior as well even if I have set a lower value. It seems to follow whatever value you set as well in the same range.

they arent overclocking

yes i know auto overclocking gets generous with the voltage but theirs is at stock

Anything over 1.2V on the 6700k isn't stock.

So perhaps sosolola has turbo boost on and that is the vcore that it is getting to?

 

[sosolola]

Turbo boost is on by default .

 

[mcnumpty23]

yes pretty sure if i set my 6600k to default with turbo boost on it doesnt come even close to 1.3v

if temperatures are ok guess its nothing to worry over

though you can always try lowering voltage if it worries you

It's because you don't have a gigabyte motherboard .gigabyte default bios vcore is 1.292V.

that could explain it i guess

no i have asrock board

wonder why gigabyte went so high?
