9600KF 5GHz OC with just 1.2V
I'm relatively new to OC, but I tried an overclock using a video guide and got this outcome. It hasn't crashed yet—I ran Cinebench without issues and AIDA64 stress test. My main concern is why the voltage stays around 1.2V under load instead of reaching the 1.350V I set in BIOS. I checked CPU Core/Cache Voltage in Manual mode, adjusted Core Voltage Override to 1.350V, enabled XMP II, turned off Asus MultiCore Enhancement, and reviewed SVID behavior. Also, looked at the AVX negative offset on 0. MB: Z390-H ROG STRIX. See the image here: https://imgur.com/a/NzExNGB.
Hey there,
This is vdroop. It occurs when you manually adjust the voltage. When the CPU is under load, the voltage can decrease and may end up lower than the manual value set. It's quite normal. You might try adjusting it slightly using LLC, but be careful—overusing or setting it too high can cause overvolting. Experiment with LLC on its lowest two settings on your motherboard to check if it affects vdroop.
