Intel Core i7 6700K Voltage & Asus Maximus VIII Hero

[UltimateGohanSS]

Hello 🙂 have motherboard Asus Maximux VIII Hero and i7 6700K cpu.and when i playing games my voltage go too high 1.450v(witcher 3)but in my bios it is saying that my voltage is 1.312v.Is ok or do i need to change voltage?if i need to change how to do so?i never changed voltege in my life.Thanks

Running two monitoring programs are the same time will cause polling errors. Stick to one. If you want to use HWMonitor for temperature moniting, close HWInfo. Download CPU-Z for frequency and voltage monitoring.

As for your voltage, 1.35V is too much if you're not overclocking. Use your CPU's stock voltage if you only plan to run your CPU at stock.

Ok thanks 🙂 now i am using on 1.310(1.312)do you think that is good? i dont know what is my CPU stock voltage maybe is 1.312? Thanks for all your help 🙂

Indeed !.31V sounds more reasonable. As for stock voltage, I cannot answer that since all CPUs are different and they each have a different stock voltage. 😛

For stock I think is 1.312 because when i set it to 1.310 or 1.315 always shows 1.312(programs and bios)Thank you ❤️

exactly right VID you can see in BIOS with F5 defaults settings on the right of monitor.

Ussually VID of 6700K are between 1.248V - 1.31x V

Sell all of it. Buy a cheap amd multicore processor/mobo/memory and a decent nvidia card (literally anything 6+ gtx) and enjoy the money in your wallet

The new 1102 BIOS that fixes the Adaptive voltage for the Maximus VIII Hero is available.

How did you find out? Is there a changelog somewhere? And is this also the case for the VIII Ranger update?

Guys,
After troubles with memory I have also decided to make some small overclocking of processor=) Well, I have the same case as author of article:
1) Default condition, without any options in BIOS: CPU-Z shows 0.7 - 1.4 V, but AI Suite shows 0.7 - 1.34 V;
2) Manual CPU voltage in BIOS (1.315): CPU-Z shows 0.7 - 1.4 V, but AI Suite shows 0.7 - 1.315 V.
So my question: it looks like CPU-Z shows wrong voltage or some another, is it possible?
P.S. Sorry, at the moment I'm on work, so can't provide screens.
P.P.S. Results were got by all possible cases: alone AI Suite - testing; alone CPU-Z - testing; AI Suite and CPU-Z simultaneously.
