I've checked numerous overclocking instructions and I'm still puzzled about why my voltage seems off. Setting it to 1.350v without using the LLC on causes it not to start, but turning the LLC on turbo raises it to 1.4-1.5 volts and keeps temperatures normal. However, the guides suggest a maximum of 1.350v. Is this unexpected? I'm using the Z370 Aorus Gaming 5 motherboard and followed that guide: https://view.joomag.com/z370-oc-guide/08...7695?short

I've checked numerous overclocking instructions and still can't understand why my voltage seems inconsistent. Setting it to 1.350v without the LLC on causes it not to start.

My Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7 has a Vcore that's a bit off—at 1.278v with high LLC, I get 4.9GHz, but at 4.8GHz it should be comfortably under 1.3v.

Based on what you observe, it tends to operate around 1.4v to 1420v during prime95 testing.

I've checked numerous overclocking instructions and I'm still puzzled about why my voltage seems inconsistent. When I set it to 1.350v without the LLC on, it doesn't power up... If I enable the LLC turbo mode, the voltage rises to 1.4 to 1.5 while my temperatures remain normal, but the guides suggest a maximum of 1.35v. I'm using a Z370 Aorus Gaming 5 motherboard.

I followed this specific guide: https://view.joomag.com/z370-oc-guide/08...7695?short. My Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7 has a Vcore that's a bit off—at 1.278v with high LLC settings, I reach 4.8GHz, which should be under 1.3v. The first overclocking guide didn't work for me, but a forum thread about my board and CPU might help. Be careful, it's a long discussion with many contributions, but some of the best settings seem consistent with the Gaming 5's BIOS. Anything above 1.35v feels excessive to me, and 1.4 or 1.5v is too high... The thread below could be useful.

I've read numerous overclocking instructions and still feel puzzled about why my voltage seems inconsistent. If I set it to 1.350v without the LLC feature enabled, it won't power on... When I enable the LLC feature in Turbo mode, the voltage rises to 1.4–1.5 and temperatures remain normal, but the guides suggest 1.350v should be the upper limit. Using the Z370 Aorus Gaming 5 motherboard is what I'm doing.

I followed this guide: https://view.joomag.com/z370-oc-guide/08...7695?short
My Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7 has a slightly different Vcore—currently I get 4.9GHz at 1.278v with a high LLC setting. At 4.8GHz, it should be comfortably under 1.3v. I attempted that first overclocking guide but it didn't work for me. Later, I found a forum discussion about my motherboard and CPU, though it might still apply to you. Be careful—it's a lengthy thread with many contributions, but some of the best settings are similar to the Gaming 5’s BIOS. Anything above 1.35v is far too high for me, and 1.4 or 1.5v is excessive... This forum should help.

Thanks for the response. I've tried a few different guides, but it seems like no matter what I do, the system crashes unless I enable auto. I'm new to this, so it's possible I made a mistake. When I try 1280p with a turbo setting, my CPU reports voltage fluctuations between 1.4 and 1.5—it's really strange. Why would changing the voltage from auto to something like 1350v cause a blue screen?

I've followed many overclocking guides and im really confused why my voltage is so wacky.
if i set it to 1.350v without LLC On then it won't start... If i turn LLC On Turbo then voltage jumps up to 1.4 - 1.5 and my temps are fine, but i saw in the guides that 1.350v should be max.. is this unusual?
Im using z370 Aorus Gaming 5 Mother board
This is the guide i followed: https://view.joomag.com/z370-oc-guide/08...7695?short
I have the Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7 and your vcore is a bit off...I get 4.9GHz at 1.278v with a high LLC setting. At 4.8GHz you should comfortably be below 1.3v. I did try that first overclocking guide but that did not work for me and then I found this forum covering my motherboard and CPU, though it should work for you too...Be warned it is long thread with many people contributing but I found some of the best settings here and they should be just the same as the Gaming 5's BIOS is the same...Anything above 1.35v is way too much for me and 1.4 and 1.5v is just too much...the forum below should help..
https://www.overclock.net/forum/6-intel-...gs-10.html
Is it possible for you to share your settings without it being a hassle? if not don't worry about it
Did you still disable all those advanced setting cpu settings like the first guide suggested?

Original BIOS configurations I used today will be saved into my BIOS tomorrow. I’ll adjust the current settings in Offset/Adaptive mode, which works even better.

Have you ever upgraded your BIOS to the newest release? Also, I managed to reach 4.8GHz simply by adjusting a multiplayer setting; all other parameters stayed in auto mode, and the vcore reached its maximum of 1.328v.

i was using f7 for a couple of months and just switched to f11. i also experimented with auto mode and set everything to 4.8 at 1.350v, llc high, which seems to maintain better voltage stability. however, it causes a blue screen when running realbench asus, which is pretty strange. should i go back to the default settings and just adjust the multiplier to see how the voltage behaves? if i recall correctly, that’s around 1.4v, but i’ve tried so many things now it’s hard to keep track. thanks a lot for your help—you're the man 😀

I just set the Vcore to 1.350v @ 4.8 and it stabilized for 5 minutes on a real bench, but the temperatures were climbing into the 90s, so I stopped it. Should I keep it assuming future loads won’t be at full capacity, or should I lower the voltage further to try and reduce heat?
