Hey guys, just started experimenting with overclocking my 8700k. The HWMonitor shows voltage readings like 0.600 or 1.440, and some in between. I've turned off adaptive voltage in BIOS and switched it to manual. Meanwhile, CPU-Z displays a steady 1.210, which matches the BIOS setting. I'm confused because the monitor says the voltage is over 1.440, but I don't want to risk overheating or shortening the CPU's life. I'm not sure what's happening.

Expand 'Maximum Processor State' and set it to '99%'.
I use Windows to limit OC performance. Open 'Search Windows', type 'power', choose 'Power & Sleep Settings', then click 'Additional Power Setting'. Next, select 'Change Plan Settings', then 'Change Advanced Power Settings'. In the window, scroll down to 'Processor Power Management', expand it, and set 'Maximum Processor State' to 99%. This stops OC. Follow these steps and explore the other options there.
