I'm not new to OCing but having been an AMD guy for quite some time before the QX9650 and now finally this 6600k and I am a bit out of my element.
I have
6600k
Thermaltake Water 3.0 AIO
Asus Z170 AR
8gb 3000mhz Corsair Vengeance (Running at 2800 for now as XMP does not work)
GTX770 Classified
and a 1000w corsair PS
So my question is this. I am currently (prime 95 Large FFT) stable at 4.6ghz but I am a bit confused what my voltage actually is. Asus AI suit 3 reports my voltage as being 1.360-1.376 but CoreTemp, Hardware Info 64 and CPU-Z all report my voltage around 1.225-1.255.
Now normally I would assume CPU-Z/Core Temp to be correct but that sounds like amazingly low voltage for 4.6ghz? Perhaps I am wrong there?
I have most things set to auto. Power management stuff is enabled (my room gets warm in the summer while gaming even at night) and I am running a voltage offset of plus point 115 (+.115)
Temps are good with one core hitting 79c and the others at 73-75c.
So are those 3 programs right? Is my voltage really that low and I'm just experiencing .150 in voltage droop?
EDIT: Looks like I have answered my own question. Taking the voltage up to + .160 shows no change in CPU-Z, Core Temp or Hardware Monitor. IT does show as 1.400v in asus though and let me play around with 4.7ghz so Asus appears to be reporting the correct voltage and the other programs are reporting... what exactly I don't know.
