6700k high voltage on stock clocks?

drefa — Sun, 10 Apr 2016 22:34:40 GMT

hey guys

i built my first skylake system about a month ago now and i thought id have a look at the bios settings to see if everything is good and i noticed that on auto my standard CPU voltage is at 1.344 so i did a aida 64 stress test and noticed that the vid goes up to 1.426v! ive done some research on this and the stock voltage should be around 1.216-1.26, was there a few chips that were defective? i also noticed that im not getting the same temps as other people when i research 6700k temps at full load on stock everything i reach a max of 74 on real bench with aio water cooler. is there a fix for this? ive noticed a lot of other people online have the same high settings but with no way around it

here are my specs

6700k

MAXIMUS HERO VIII

AVEXIR CORE 32GB 2400MHZ

R9 390X

EVGA 650W PSU

Hello, Dave-aus:

According to your description, the CPU voltages mentioned are expected, please note the following;

Note that the maximum is 1.52V and your report is 1.42V, this means that your chip is not defective; on the contrary, it is behaving as expected.

For further reference see http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/core/desktop-6th-gen-core-family-datasheet-vol-1.html 6th Generation Intel® Core™ Processor Family Datasheet, Vol. 1, Table 7-2.

Hello,

This is not our problem, we got these CPU in hope of overclocking them and the high voltages make that impossible to do for even a .3ghz oc

Hello, mprodani:

Thank you for joining the Processors Community.

In regard to your inquiry I just wanted to let you know that Intel does not support overclocking due to the possible issues that might happen when you overclock the processor, we recommend using the processor at stock configurations; however, if you need to gather some information about overclocking I would recommend posting your inquiry in places like; http://www.overclock.net/f/ Forums, http://www.overclockers.com/forums/ Overclockers Forums in order to obtain more feedback from peers.

Regards,

Amy.
