Hi everyone, I've modified my i7 4790k to run at 4.5 ghz, but I'm worried the BIOS might display a Vcore of 1.120V while the CPUZ shows 1.312V. Which reading should I rely on?

hwinfo mate just completed a test on several Intel systems. The CPU usage is significantly higher in the cpuz results compared to hwinfo. I’m 100% certain hwinfo is accurate.

1.312v would be suitable for that kind of clock speed.
Llc (load line calibration) is an option in bios that stays on auto settings, adjusting voltage when under load.
You will never see the voltage under windows match the core voltage in bios unless you completely disable llc, which isn't advisable unless you're very skilled in overclocking.
1.312v under load is perfectly acceptable as long as your temperatures are within limits.

Thank you, but the issue is that the voltage displayed by CPU shows idle rather than full load, which raises my concern. Additionally, I've noticed that voltage shouldn't exceed 1.25V.
