CPU-Z Reading Wrong VCore?

Hello all, i recently decided to build a new machine after years of running my old one. So far it's running phenomenally, and i haven't had any issues. However, i have a quick question about CPU-Z.

I'm running an i7-4770k that i've overclocked to 4.5GHz, I have the vcore set at 1.275, and everything is running fine; however, CPU-Z consistently reads my vcore at 1.776. There's no variation or fluctuation, just a consistent 1.776V. I know this isn't right as the voltage is definitely set to 1.275, so i'm assuming this is just a bug with CPU-Z. Has anyone seen anything like this before? At idle i'm running about 30C; and, under full load (using Prime95), i normally peak at about 62C.

I'm running 16gb of Corsair Vengance 1600 and an Asus Maximus VI Formula, if that's any help.

Thanks!

Try to use the intel extreme tuning utility and see what that says, I would also just completely switch to another overclocking profile and just copy your old settings into it and see what happens I've had things fail just because of a bad profile
