Intel i7 6700K voltages help

Hasher · Aug 21, 2015

I've Oc'ed my processor to 4,5ghz and i was wondering if my stats are correct? More specifically what is the cpu VID ? It seems like a high voltage

This is vague but i've had a few bluescreens and i'm scared it might be my memory ( haven't applied xmp profile yet)

Looking at your CPU VCore (up top) it looks fine. The VID is low because the CPU is idle so it will clock down the frequency and voltage to save power and lower heat production.

Everything looks fine. How is the stability?

Stability is ok when i ran memory and cpu stress test using Passmarks burn in software. What about the max CPU VID ? 1.471V

What mobo do you have? The VID is your vcore, which it looks like it's on adaptive auto with a max of 1.47V which is pretty damn high, I'm 90% sure 6700K still stays in line with the voltage of the 4790K so that's too high if it does.

When I run HW MOnitor, the CPU Vcore listed with HW Monitor is the Vccin with asus but it's name is different with other motherboards but if that's right and your is at 1.29V, then that's probably why you are crashing. Mine at default was 1.8V. Was that what you changed in bios, thinking it was the vcore for the chip?

EDIT: The Vciin or cpu input voltage should be around .3-.4 higher than your vcore.

My Mobo is the ASUS Z170M-PLUS, and yes i'm having trouble figuring the bios settings out to be honest.

It has auto OC but when i tried using that the voltages were even worse

I set the Vcore manually to 1.280V in the bios so it shouldn't be doing this (at least i think i managed to set it)

You have ai suite 3? Open it in desktop real quick and see what the vccin is...it should be liested on the main page in the voltage part.

Hasher · Aug 21, 2015

I did install it but i found i had too much software. I'm trying to get it now from Asus's website but the support page won't come up. Give me a minute ^^

Reaper_7799 · Aug 21, 2015

No problem, just easier to look quick there instead of restart in bios.

It's under utilities in the support part...drivers and tools

Hasher · Aug 21, 2015

Scratch that it is back up

jimmysmitty · Aug 21, 2015

Yea I blanked the VID at 1.47v. Sorry about that. That is too high for that CPU and Skylake uses a tad lower than Haswell, 14nm vs 22nm. Probably top you want is 1.35v.

Hasher · Aug 21, 2015

Ok so i installed Asus Ai Suite and got a blue screen this is why i uninstalled it firstly, the drivers conflict with my mouse odly enough, i know this because my mouse's led color changed... for reference it's a EVGA TORQ X5

So i ran passmarks burn in and got this with asus ai suite

Ok, do one more thing for me, I'm trying to see why the cpu vcore in hw monitor shows only 1.28V on yours and on mine it shows 1.792V and is actually the input voltage or vccin. In my ai suite, it shows vccin where your vcore is at. The very top one. If your input voltage is that low, it could cause crashes or blue screens.

Download this and run it real quick and take a screenshot pls. When you run it, there's a big yellow lightning bolt button on the big page. Hit that and it brings up a sensor page like hw monitor...scroll down to your motherboard section with voltages listed underneath and screenshot that part pls.

Here it is at idle:

(I tried doing a burn it at the same time and the values didn't move)

Here is another shot at a the monitors

Ok so apparently with these chips, they've taken some voltage inputs off the chip and put it back on the motherboard so they will be different and maybe everything is fine, except for your main voltage being too high. From what I can see with people overclocking these is voltage is being read wrong from different programs.

What I would do is go back into bios and do a load default settings, save and reboot. Go back in bios and just manually adjust your multiplier, make sure to sync all cores and then adjust your core voltage only but make sure those other voltages are in line.

This is one set of settings I found. Yours is brand new and a little bit different and I don't totally know the ins and outs of that chip yet. Sorry.

Standard voltages:
Core Voltage: depending on the CPU goodness about 1.0 - 1.3 volts
VCCSA: approx 1:05 Volt
VCCIO: about 0.95 volts
CPU Voltage Standby: about 1.0 volts
PLL Voltage Termination: about 1.0 volts

Well their aren't any other options to modifie the voltages in the bios that seem to be cpu vcore

muzz1345 · Aug 27, 2015

I have much the same problem. Used ez overclock 15% (4.6ghz) and hwmoniter vid reads 1.45v temps were outa control under load. 90-100c. In bios Switched to manual set vid to 1.35 and hwmoniter reads 1.010 under load. Do you keep increasing in bios till you see 1.35v in hwmoniter?
This rig is all new to me last time I overclocked was in th q6600 days.

keep voltage at 1.3 to a max of 1.4 and nothing more. Recommended is 1.3. After 4.6 GHZ it takes more voltage to get to higher speeds not worth going higher than 1.4 volts and possibly shorting the life of the CPU.
