HW monitor CPU V core vs VID #
HW monitor CPU V core vs VID #
Hi guys,
I'm having trouble getting a clear answer on the forums. I'm currently overclocking my 2500k and unsure about the right voltage settings. On the hardware monitor, the V core shows 1.350 volts, but on the VID # it varies between 1.450 volts for VID #0, 1.450 for VID #1 and 1.450 for VID #2 and 3. CPU-Z's core voltage lines up with the CPU V core on HWmonitor. Could someone give more details?
Vid represents the voltage you configure in the BIOS setup. Vcore is the actual voltage delivered to the CPU after considering Vdroop.
VCORE voltage refers to the main voltage you configure in the BIOS or with OC software. CPU-Z and many BIOS versions label it as core voltage, while HWMonitor calls it VCORE. I’m unsure how to clarify VID voltage since there’s a lot of conflicting data about its true meaning. From my tests with a 7700k, it consistently appears higher than the core voltage set in the BIOS and rises with clock speed. There’s an article on VID that I’m not confident is fully accurate.

From my own tests with a 7700k, it consistently appears above the core voltage I set in the BIOS and tends to rise with clock speed.
