Hey there, I recently purchased an Asus z170 pro gaming motherboard and an i5 6600k processor. I'm asking whether it's best to leave the AI Tweaker settings in auto mode as they are by default, or if I should adjust them. I won't be overclocking the processor anytime soon. I've also installed HWMonitor, which shows the VCore voltage ranging from a minimum of 0.752V to a maximum of 2.400V, and sometimes the current exceeds 2V. I'm wondering if it's acceptable to keep this configuration or if I need to modify BIOS settings. Please let me know. Thank You!

30c on idle likely depends on load temperatures, and checking the temperature in the AI suite will show about 10c lower than other software's readings.

the cpu cannot exceed 2v and would soon fail
it only requires under 1.4v for 4.8ghz — 5ghz

the cpu can't handle more than 2v, it would overheat quickly
just needs under 1.4v for 4.8ghz — 5ghz works too
i understand, but it's still showing normal temperatures
every core stays below 30 degrees
