Help with voltage
Hi
When checking your CPUID HW monitor for voltage, focus on whether it shows values within the VCORE range or the specific voltages listed for the I7 8700K. The readings around 1.224 are expected under VCORE, while values in the 1.3 range suggest the VID settings.
VID (Voltage Identification) defines a constant value established in the factory. This is the voltage the CPU requires. It aims to cover all potential operating scenarios that Intel has tested, including AVX instruction sets. You can safely disregard it and assess the limits for your specific applications. It's wise to preserve a bit of temperature this way.
