I messed around with overclocking my CPU a little bit, and I settled on 4.9 ghz for my 10700k running at 1.25v in the bios. The other monitoring software I used always showed the wrong voltage, sometimes as low as 1.120, but only the motherboard's own software showed the correct number. It has been stable after every test I've run and since using it like that for a month. I just wanted to know why it is hard to hit 5.0 ghz compared to anything under. The lowest I got was running at 1.31v.
