Current Setup:
Asus Maximus viii Hero (BIOS Verison 1701)
Intel i7-6700k
Cooler Master 212 evo
Nzxt 440 Case
Just build my new rig a few days ago, and downloaded hwmonitor to check my CPU temps to ensure everything looked good. I noticed under moderate load (30%) playing games, and few applications, the CPU max temps could jump up to high 60, even 70/71. Running 3D Mark at full load I maxxed out at 77c. I did some research online and found it could be a voltage issues so I made the following changes.
CPU Core/Cache Voltage (Auto) --- > Manual mode
- CPU Core Voltage Override (Auto) ----> 1.260
With these changes in place :
I reran 3dmark and the CPU max temp was much lower at 63c.
I also noticed during gaming, the max temp would stay around 53c
I am currently idling around 29c.
I don't care to overclock and happy with my performance. My question is : Where these the correct changes to make ? Are these changes safe ? Should I change anything else ? Should I change it back to auto ?
