CPU Core Voltage

I am currently doing a bit of experimenting with my overclock on my 6600k system.
When verifying the voltages on Cpu-Z it shows that my core voltage is 0.680 which is effectively half of what i have set it to in the bios. Does anyone know if it is in fact showing half the core voltage similar to how ram speed is shown 1333 (effectively 2666 in dual channel), or if there is an actual error reading the voltage?

Thanks in advance

the 0.68 volts was at full load. I'm fairly sure its displaying half the voltage because at my 24/7 oc of 4.6ghz @1.26v Cpu-Z was displaying 0.63v. load line calibration is on 1 so its not vdroop.

Ive always wondered about this as I have the same problem. Its not downclocking the voltage. At 100% mine says 0.888 Volts, just assumed its a false reading, nothing much.
