Are you safe to use a cold compress in these conditions?
Are you safe to use a cold compress in these conditions?
Thanks everyone for all the answers, I'm not exactly sure why I had those max values. My GPU shouldn't have gone up to 1974mhz as it isn't overclocked. I restarted my PC, played Wildlands for about 30 minutes and the numbers were a little different this time. My GPU has it's normal base core clock and now the voltage seems to reach a max of what you guys say is good. I went to the BIOS and all the auto settings for the voltage showed nothing over 1.3, so I assume that is fine? Any reason why I could have had that spike and it showed up higher the first time? Here are some new values that look a little more normal, thanks again everyone!
Edit: As I was typing this, the voltage max seems to be going up slowly (was at 1.35V), even though the current value is sitting at .74-.75. I sometimes see the current voltage spike up to 1.32 - 1.35 every so often from the low of around .72 - .75. I'm confused now, is this normal?
VID represents the voltage the CPU believes it requires, based on factory-programmed values. These aren't the actual readings. Focus should be on core voltage, as discussed earlier. Applications such as CPU-Z, Hardware Info, and Hardware Monitor can measure core voltage. Core-Temp also provides temperature and VID information effectively. Your GPU will surpass its specifications if temperature and power constraints remain within limits. Refer to GPU Boost 3.0 for more details.
Eximo, I realized later yesterday after checking CPUID that the VCORE you mentioned is the one you were referring to. I set it manually in the BIOS to 1.300 and it never went above that voltage. Given that I won’t likely exceed the 4213MHz my CPU currently clocks at, what manual voltage should I use in the BIOS? Also, I discovered about GPU Boost 3.0 after searching online, and it seems overclocking the GPU probably isn’t necessary since the hardware monitor shows the automatic OC is handling it well.
