So ive gotten into overclocking I have the sufficient cooling for it which is a hyper 212 Evo,
My Mobo is Z77A-G45 8 gbs of ram at 1333 ghz
Fore some reason I havnt been able to put up my vcore, ive disabled all power conserving options ive done some research on the options in my bios so I know which ones.
for some reason my vcore is stuck at 1.2v i think the highest i got it was like 1.24v but it was throttling the insufficient amount of voltage is making my cpu crash when i put up the multiplier im trying to achieve 4.2ghz ive been running prime95 to stress test it seems i can make it to 4.0 ghZ without crashing but i didn't do extensive testing maybe about 1 hour. Ive tried everything looking though forums cant really seem to find a solid answer. i do moniter my temps by the way never goes over 53c on 4.0 ghz full load. For example right now in my bios i have the vcore set to 1.235v but CPU-z is showing 1.200v-1.208v. Bios Are up to date
Thank you

ok ive figured it out haah sorry I didn't put it at 1.8 I put it at 1.28v I really need to re read my post before putting them up! well the problem was that the MSI mobo I have is effin weird so the tutorials I was looking up were incorrect. which was telling me to do over clocking through my custom OC Genie, every time I would do that it would give me some weird voltage no matter what I put it at, along with voltage jumping up and down which was weird. So I managed to figure out the correct way to do it. Man these MSI boards sure are misleading.

Even when I apply the settings in bios I go back after and it has a little area where it shows pc health, shows vcore ect.
is there any other program that will show it a little more accurately ill try that when I wake up later on today as im tired of looking at my screen ha

I think CPU-Z shows your VCore.

ok so I put the voltage up to 1.280v and CPU-z and bios shows 164v the bios voltage input are out of wack but it still goes up just not the right values. I can work off of this but its going to be annoying - UPDATE ok nevermind now the voltage is jumping from
1.248 1.256 during Prime95 when in bios it is set to 1.8v
