Hello, I'm a beginner who followed the instructions in that video to upgrade my CPU to 5.0 GHz. However, I noticed my core voltage reading on the cpu-z app is only half the expected value shown in the video. The video claims it should be around 1.35V, but I see it as 0.672V. Could this affect my system in the long run? I'm currently downloading Prime95 and would appreciate some advice from others.

From horasu: I’m a beginner overclocker who followed the instructions in this video to increase my CPU speed to 5.0 GHz. The core voltage shown in the CPU-Z app is only half of what’s mentioned in the video, which says it should be 1.35V but I see 0.672V. I’m worried this might cause issues later. I’m currently downloading Prime95 and seeking advice from others.
EDIT: Apologies, the site didn’t load properly and I ended up posting the same question twice. I’m trying to learn how to delete a thread.
After some digging, I see I’m dealing with a vdroop issue. But I’m not sure how to fix it. The Maximus X Hero is set, and the Load Line Calibration is at '6'. The video keeps pointing toward a near-zero voltage result, but my screenshot shows a big difference from what I want. Anyone else facing this problem or know a solution? I’ve also noticed Prime95’s threads started rounding errors within an hour.
