Hello everyone. I'm organizing the archives for the new Stalker 2 game, and everything is running perfectly at full capacity. About a month ago I installed the latest BIOS for my Strix Z690-F Gaming WiFi because there were known problems with the 13 and 14 generations. After the update, I didn't tweak anything and kept the default power plan as it was set. The concern is that the voltage is too high (exceeding 1.4V). I'll share some screenshots of all the settings later so you can review them. Is this normal for a 13700K?

The reading is around 1.4V, which seems fine. It shouldn't go past 1.5 or 1.6. If you're following the instructions, you probably won't have issues. If anything goes wrong, RMA could be an option. You might consider slightly reducing the voltage.

Currently processing, temperatures remain active. The 360 mm liquid cooler has been set up.

I faced the same problems with my 13600k, even after using a custom loop. Initially, I wondered if I had installed the CPU block wrong or applied thermal paste improperly. But everything seemed okay—temperatures just got higher. Honestly, I didn’t verify my voltages; I just opened BIOS, set vCore mode to 'override', lowered it to 1.2V, and added a 5.4/4.4 P&E core overclock. The temperatures dropped significantly even during heavy all-core tasks like Cinebench.
