+12v running at 13.816 V?
+12v running at 13.816 V?
i overclocked the processor to 4.4ghz on my fx8350 with a voltage of 1.280v and set the nbgpu to the same level. i planned to run prime95, but noticed in hwmonitor that the +12v was showing as 13.816v. is this normal? could it be harmful? thanks.
Turn off the variable cpu voltage in bios. This lets your cpu operate at a higher voltage when needed, but usually it's incorrect.

When voltage is configured as adaptive in BIOS, the system can respond to changes around 12V based on the CPU's requirements.
CPU voltage configurations in BIOS shouldn't affect the voltages provided by the power supply unit. Particularly, 12V rail numbers may fluctuate during operation based on load and PSU quality (these should remain within acceptable limits). As mentioned before, don't rely on program values; BIOS typically displays accurate readings.
Samat:
Programs aren't always accurate with voltage readings; I'd rely more on the bios display. But if you need certainty, use a multimeter to verify.

I completely understand Samat, it's important to test the 12V output from your power supply with a multimeter to confirm the actual +12V voltage coming out.
Thanks for the replies! I also found some updated details about my motherboard and overclocking. I received an MSI 970a SLI Krait edition, and it seems that some people think this board isn't very strong for overclocking due to its VRAM. Is that accurate?

I received an MSI 970a SLI Krait edition, and some people mentioned it isn't very suitable for overclocking due to VRAM limitations. Was that accurate? Thanks! I don’t think I fully understand, but maybe a new thread could help clarify this.
