Hey there, newbie overclocking fan. Your OC is holding steady at 4.5ghz on an OC-L with a stable 1.38v, which is great. At 54°C it's still fine. Aida64 is working as expected. But in CPU-Z you're only seeing 1.32v—could there be an auto-voltage setting you missed adjusting? Also, should you lower your OC a bit since it's running at 1.38v? Cheers

The higher the voltage you set, the shorter the lifespan of your CPU. Going too far can make it last months rather than years. Consider your own needs.
