I have a Maximus VI Hero and a 4770k at 4.5GHz with 1.385v manual mode set in the BIOS. I have Eventual VCCIN set to 2.05v and LLC of level 5 or 6 (off the top of my head). I know that LLC doesn't affect core voltage at all and only affects VCCIN. However, under load my Vcore shoots to 1.408v. I was thinking it'd be closer to 1.385v as I know some people with 4790ks whose voltage in BIOS is pretty much the voltage they get under load. It happens no matter what core voltage/VCCIN I set.
Sometimes when my PC is idling, I see my Vcore at 1.384v which is really close to the ideal 1.385v.
The same happens to someone else on YouTube. They also have a 4770k and a Maximus VI Hero, so maybe this quirk is only specific to those with that combo?
They've set 1.285v in BIOS but actually get 1.296-1.312v under load, which is what I get when I set 1.285v.

When AVX is detected the core VID will ramp above normal load on this platform, as is happening when running Prime in the youtube video. Also I'd try to lower VCCIN if you can below 1.2v.
Same thing happens when I use P95 v26.6 (non-AVX) and OCCT Linpack with AVX Capable Linpack unchecked.

Hi integralfx
Try setting a negative offset of -0.020v
That seems to have fixed it, but I have to run adaptive voltage, which causes spikes when I run AVX programs. 😕
Still weird how I have to do a workaround while for others, it just seems to work fine out of the box.
