Hey
I've been attempting to push my CPU overclock to around 4.5 or even 4.6, keeping the voltage settings mostly unchanged in BIOS. I noticed that despite not adjusting the voltage directly, they still increased.
To address this, I switched the AI overclock tuner to manual mode and selected the Sync all cores option, then adjusted the multiplier.
Recently, I managed a 4.5 GHz boost, but according to AIDA64 the voltage rose to 1.3V—set at 1.3, it wouldn’t change further.
I’m wondering how to stop this from happening. I’d like the voltages to stay automatic without exceeding the stock levels.
Additionally, the VRM voltages are around 1.8V? That seems quite high, even though I haven’t touched it. Is that typical?
I’m using a 4790K with an Asus Z97-A and a Noctua NH-D15 cooler. Thanks!

Uncertain about whether your BIOS has a dynamic offset feature (Dynamic vCore in my motherboard) which I enable on the Z170x board, allowing the vcore to reach its maximum without exceeding it but still maintaining dynamism, especially during idle periods.

Based on your choices and BIOS settings, if you select auto voltage for VRAM and fast RAM speed, the voltage might rise to stabilize, potentially causing the RAM to overpower it.

For minor voltage shifts, it's typical since certain mb will modify the voltage based on the load to conserve energy, though it shouldn't fluctuate too much.

The motherboard model comes with a tool named EZ Tuning Wizard. It functions as a software OC program that adjusts the system. This behavior is common in such programs, often requiring high voltages to reach the intended outcomes.
