Overclocking Error Failed, VCore too High

To clarify things, I'm lowering the VCORE. Not overclocking it. Wanted it to stay at stock settings.

I tried updating the bios to the latest one. Whenever I set the VCORE that says 1.7 at the left and a box to insert a value. I tried inserting 1.1, whenever I save it. It always go into black screen so I have to hard reset and the next boot up always show Overclocking Failed. I even tried it a bunch of times. The only one that I can set without the overclocking error is the "CPU Core Voltage Override". the other vcore option won't even budge. It stays at 1.712 max.

Using HWMonitor shows that my VCORE is at 1.696 min to 1.7

What I already done: Installed AI Suite 3, Set the Turbo mode to off, Set the CPU Core Voltage Override to 1.1, removed the CMOS battery and load optimized default.

To make it much clearer. Here's a link of a screenshot of my CPU-Z, HWMonitor, CoreTemp combined.

Not to mention there are re-occurring freezes that happens randomly.
 
your non k cpu cannot be over/downvolted even with a Z87/97 chipset mobo. your cpu core voltage is as expected

in HWmonitor VID shows the actual cpu core voltage that spans from 0.710 to 1.084v . also VID in core temp or core voltage in cpuz . dont try tweaking anything.!

load optimal defaults or do a hardware reset.! if you will be still dealing any issues, you should be looking elsewhere and you should post your full specs.

My issue regarding this came from this thread: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2473767/locks-randomly-shuts.html

I only made another thread because I accidentally clicked picked solution when using my mobile and the person I picked didn't even cure the issue.

If it cannot be over nor downvolted, why does loading optimized default enables turbo mode automatically changing my 3.1 to 3.6. Done countless of reset.. Loading optimized default just puts it back to the setting that is overclocked by default.

All I'm asking if this issue points to the motherboard being defective. Since I already ran memtest86 upto 10th phase showing passed remarks.

Computer Specs:
Processor: Intel Core i5-4570
Motherboard: Asus B85 Pro Gamer
RAM: 8 GB G.SKILL Ripjaws X 1866 Mhz
PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro M600 600W
GPU: Sapphire R9 280X Toxic

So you are saying that everything is fine.. Why am I having random freezes. Also I asked someone who has i5-4570 and his VCORE is different from my VCORE. It's way too high. Can you point out the error here? This really bugged me for weeks now..
