I've been overclocking my 3930k for the past couple of days and when I raise the vcore to 1.35 in bios it doesn't move in HWMonitor. HWMonitor says vcore is the same as it was when I had 1.32 in bios... Same thing happens when I turn it up to 1.36, doesn't move in HWMonitor. I'm currently up to 4.4ghz stable with 1.31 but it hasn't touched 65c in prime95 so I know I could put some more volts into it... IF IT LET ME. Do you think this is a psu problem, BIOS problem?

Help please.

first update your bios to the latest version.

turn off your power saving features (not necessary but it won't hurt). turn off automatic clocking. do it by hand. change your power settings on your vcore from automatic to manual. do all of this in the bios. don't overclock through your OS.

lets see where you stand then

I have all my power saving features off, as far as I know automatic clocking is off, since I've been setting my clock multiplier by hand. I don't have any OS software for OC, it's been all through bios... but I haven't updated bios yet so I'll do that.

I should also mention that in HWMonitor, my 12v reads 8.832v, my 5v reads 3.387v and my 3.3v reads 2.028v... obviously this is not normal... I ordered a new PSU anyways but could this have anything to do with it??
