I have a MSI z97 PC Mate MB and changed the multiplier to 40 giving me 4.0Ghz. I didnt touch the voltage settings and when I check cpuz, i see that the voltage is 1.29. Temperature hovers between 65-70C with Prime95 running. Am i doing something wrong? I've read lots of threads where people are getting 4.3 at 1.15 volts. Do i need to manually lower the voltage setting? Thanks!

Did you set the Voltage to manual/override or whatever it's called for your board? For giggles I turned my Pentium up to the 3.9GHz I have it at now with the Vcore set to auto and it was using 1.18V, but when I OC'd myself I can get it stable at 1.13. This may be your case
