I increased the overclock on my new setup (first time assembling a PC). Everything appeared normal until I checked cpu-z and saw the core voltage at 2.400v. The BIOS voltage is set to 1.220, and temperatures are low—around 37°C idle and about 65°C max. Should I be concerned? I reset the BIOS settings, but it didn’t resolve the issue.

As you mentioned, all the measurements are incorrect. Even the world record with liquid nitrogen doesn't reach 2.4V. Unless you're working with Sub Zero, it's not possible to power the PC.

Hello... CPU-Z appears to display just a number, not the actual real-time voltage. Your second screen VID seems quite accurate compared to 'real Life' B / it might be these newer 7000 series CPUs require some software app adjustments to read them B / your CPU temperatures look very good... B /

The readings seem incorrect, 2.4V would ruin the custom water loop. And your system fan spun at 20,000 rpm did your case disappear? I think the sensor is acting up.

Is 20,000 rpm too high? I set it as the maximum speed in BIOS for the overclock.

I'm curious about how those 20,000 rpm case fans came to be. It seems unlikely they're available in a 40mm size for purchase on Amazon.
