Hi all,
I'm experiencing several problems with the dynamic VCore on my 6700k Gigabyte Z170 Gaming 7. At a modest 4.4GHz overclock, I remain stable at 1.28 set manually for the VCore. Switching to "normal" mode (which reads as 1.30V with an even offset of -0.010V) causes boot errors every time. Additionally, using the "normal" 1.30V setting with a 0.000 offset seems to push the CPU voltage up to 1.43V in Prime95, leading to overheating within seconds. I'm unsure what's causing this behavior. (I have LLC enabled at high level and was previously seeing significant VDroops on auto. Ripjaws V with 3200 XMP settings.)
Thanks

Ignoring it, I still don't understand what caused this, but I reverted the BIOS settings twice and now everything appears normal. I'm hoping it remains like this.
