My build details:
CPU: Intel 4790k
CPU Cooler: Cryorig H7 with Noctua SP Fan
Motherboard: Asus z97 Pro-Gamer
PSU: Corsair RM750
Case: Fractal Define R4 [Two stock case fans in front, One Fractal R2 140mm Fan on back, stock Cryorig cooler fan on top vent.]
When gaming or using other apps, my CPU vcore stays around 1.3v even though I reset the motherboard BIOS to default with a core ratio of 44. I’m attempting to overclock but feel this voltage is already too high.
Second, when running Prime95, my temperatures rise quickly to the 90s almost immediately. The temps are normal for other tasks, but is it typical for them to increase so rapidly?

only adjusting your multiplier to 44 and keeping the rest unchanged means the vcore will auto and the motherboard will supply it with enough voltage as needed. most of the time it overvolts just to ensure stability.

understanding that your cpu runs at 1.3v lets you begin in bios from there. if your reading is 1.300v, lower it to 1.295v and repeat the test. continue adjusting until you fail.
if it drops to 1.250v it becomes unstable, go back up to 1.255v and test again, playing some games afterward to confirm everything works.
if not, increase to 1.260v and keep repeating.
