CPU: 4790k @ stock clock
Mobo: Asus Maximus VII Gene
My 4790k is a good chip I believe, I can do manual 1.1 volt, but it doesn't drop to 0.7v like stock setting at idle, it just stays there. On the other hand stock is @1.28 during load that's way too much than what it needs. I tried adaptive mode but it seems to ignore the "Maximum Turbo Voltage" setting no matter what I set it to unless it's higher than stock, which I found out it's because of the conflict between the BIOS and Haswell internal voltage regulation. So I don't know what the problem is, I even tried manually enable C-state but the voltage still doesn't drop with the multiplier. I really don't want it to stuck at the same voltage, or high voltage at turbo.
Any help would be appreciated!
