Hey everyone,
I just assembled my new PC with an ASUS Maximus VII Gene motherboard and an INTEL i7 4790k. When I start the system i get an BIOS error-message that my CPU Core Voltage is too high.
I checked the BIOS hardware monitor and it says that Core 0 is running on between 2.7 and 2.9 V, while all three other cores are running on (normal) 1.055 V.
It's quiet obvious that something isn't correct, but my question is, is it the CPU or the motherboard?
The CPU temperature stays around 37°C, what seems normal. If one core would really run on 2.9 V, the temperature should be higher, shouldn't it? So it's more likely a broken motherboard than a broken CPU?
Thank you!
