i5 4690k at 4.5mhz with .88 volts
i5 4690k at 4.5mhz with .88 volts
With liquid cooling this device would perform excellently! Great silicon lottery!
I changed my mind, I believe it's a bug in the program. Look at the image to see how the two voltages differ between the motherboard and the CPU.
Slyverine updated the details from the forum post. The issue seems to be a program bug, possibly related to voltage differences under the motherboard and CPU. It's puzzling since the expected average voltage around 1.2V at 4.5GHz isn't present. Slyverine plans to test alternative voltage settings or verify actual BIOS readings for consistency. They also mention adjusting the voltage to check if it boosts performance and stability. Thanks for the helpful information!
Slyverine updated their thoughts, believing it might be a program issue. They examined the image to see how the two voltages varied between the motherboard and the CPU. They also ran CPUID and confirmed the voltage was 1.249... Seems correct! They felt lucky.

Check the attachment at the link provided. Look at how the two voltages differ between the motherboard and the CPU. I just ran CPUID and the reading was 1.249... That seems correct.
I also thought I was lucky, but it’s not. You can’t achieve 4.5ghz under 1.1 volts, no matter what. For the chip size, it’s physically impossible. The 0.88v number was completely unrealistic. It’s like claiming a minivan achieves 400 mpg—it would violate the laws of physics.

I adjusted my perspective, believing the issue might lie within the software. I examined the images to see how the two voltages varied across the motherboard and the CPU. I also executed a CPUID test and confirmed the voltage reading was 1.249... Seems accurate. I felt fortunate though—luck doesn't matter here; achieving 4.5ghz under 1.1 volts is simply not feasible for the chip size. The 0.88v figure was absurd, like claiming a minivan achieves 400 mpg—it defies physics. What were you saying?
