remove the overclocking settings on your i7 4790k
It appears you're checking the recommended idle voltage settings. The suggested values are 4.0 for all cores, 4.4 for single core turbo, 4.3 for two core turbo, and 4.2 for three or more cores. Make sure the voltage stays within at least 0.1V of these levels.
Sergeant_Sneaky explains the process of resetting the overclock. You can do this by removing the battery for 30 seconds or using the CMOS reset jumpers if your motherboard has them. He mentions that trying to reset the BIOS by removing the battery didn't work, as the Intel I7 was already overclocked by default.
Charles1515 asked Sergeant_Sneaky for instructions on resetting the overclock using BIOS settings. He mentioned trying to remove the battery but suspect the default Intel I7 setting might be overclocked. He also requested a picture of the BIOS screens displaying 'vcore voltage' and 'core multiplier'.
The Vcore is higher than my stock price, yet the multiplier appears typical.
The Vcore is higher than my stock, yet the multiplier looks typical. It seems reasonable to me as well; the voltage appears elevated, possibly due to a subpar chip. At what temperatures are you reaching maximum performance?
I am capable of handling 4.5Ghz across every core at that voltage.
Sergeant_Sneaky shares observations about the system performance.
DonkeyOatie notes the Vcore is higher than expected, but the multiplier looks fine.
They mention the voltage feels elevated and suspect a potentially faulty chip.
They ask about the temperatures reaching their maximum limits.
In Task Manager, the processor runs at 4.32GHz, while the CPU temperature spikes to around 190°F during gameplay.
