Hi, I have a 6700k and a gigabyte ga-z170x gaming 5 motherboard. I've managed to keep the overclock stable at 4.5 GHz with core voltage at 1.32V and CPU loadline calibration set to high (the other settings are auto or standard). However, in HWMonitor the CPU VCORE shows an average of 1.3V and a max of 1.32V, while the VID is around 1.35V with peaks up to 1.402V. Is this normal or should I adjust something? I also have a hyper 212 evo cooler and my temperatures are at 70°C when running x264.

Don't stress about VID. As long as your VCore matches your setting and temperatures are stable, you're fine. My VIN remains at 1.408 even when the VCore increases from 0.5v (idle with CPU speed drop) to 1.42v (4790k under full load overclocked).
