i7 6700k voltage vcore reading higher than what I set in bios.

[idata]

I can't overclock my cpu because the vcore reading I'm getting is .1v higher than what I'm setting it in the bios. So if I increase it to 1.35v it says it's at 1.45v in hwmonitor vcore reading. Which seems very high for just a 4.5 OC. Am I reading the wrong reading. How do I fix this.

Asus z 170-a motherboard.

intel i7 6700k

16 Gb ddr4

Contact ASUS regarding their BIOS and its settings/operation.

Also, consider that hwmonitor may be incorrect.
