so apparently i decided to give overclocking a try on my new 4670k. so far ive tried 4.0/4.2 on 1.075v and successful so far. then i decided to go up by .2 at 4.4ghz and voltage set for 1.175v(and apparently on hwmonitor it shows as 1.2v for CPu ia for some weird reason, could someone maybe explain this), however, when i run aida64 stability test, hwmonitor shows cpu vid voltage as 1.279v under load. is this normal ? or did I screw up something during the process. i followed asus youtube video and only changed core voltage and multiplier, and selected xmp for my dram.
and it seems no matter what voltage i set, the vid under full load is always 0.1v higher than setting
thanks in advance =D
