6700k High stock voltage + High temps

MProd · ‎07-20-2016

Hi,

I recently bought a 6700k with a high performance water cooler(h110i) on an Asus Z170A board, when I got it i saw a stock voltage of 1.28V which seemed high and it was, gave high temps , i tried lowering it down to 1.22 and my pc BSODed, The high voltage doesn't bother me on stock settings but I bought the K version to overclock it and with those high voltages it seems really hard to get a stable OC on this chip, should i RMA?

Thanks,

Hi mprodani,

First of all on Asus mainboard you should set CPU voltage to Adaptive, on auto will stay all time on maximum voltage.

On Adaptive when is in idle will have about 0.7V and when under load 1,2V.

If you have high temps on stock frequency, you should check if that water cooler is working and mounted correctly.
