Hi everyone, I'm just starting out with overclocking and want to boost my CPU's performance by only adjusting the stock voltage, specifically increasing the multiplier by one. However, I saw that the core voltage can go up to 1,200V on CPU-Z, while Intel states the stock voltage is 1,250V for this model. Is there an issue with this CPU, or is it defective? Thanks in advance.

Hello. CPU-Z displays idle voltages in Windows. The complete voltage isn't used unless the CPU is running at full capacity. Occasionally, problems arise such as incorrect voltage sensor readings—though I believe your CPU is functioning properly. It might just be a normal Vcore variation.
