CPU Core Voltage
CPU Core Voltage
I am currently doing a bit of experimenting with my overclock on my 6600k system.
When verifying the voltages on Cpu-Z it shows that my core voltage is 0.680 which is effectively half of what i have set it to in the bios. Does anyone know if it is in fact showing half the core voltage similar to how ram speed is shown 1333 (effectively 2666 in dual channel), or if there is an actual error reading the voltage?
Thanks in advance
the 0.68 volts was operating at full capacity. It seems it might be showing half the voltage since, with a continuous 24/7 frequency of 4.6ghz and a current of 1.26v, the CPU-Z displayed 0.63v. The load line calibration is set to 1, so it's not experiencing droop.
Unless you've turned off specific options in the BIOS, your CPU will consume less power while idle. During gameplay or intensive tasks, the voltage should rise to the configured level.
Unless the load-line calibration is configured at a high level...
I've often questioned this since I'm facing the same issue. It's not about lowering the voltage. At full capacity, it reads 0.888 volts, which I initially thought might be an incorrect measurement, but it seems insignificant.
