I just noticed that my cpu voltage was quite high, even reached a max VID of 1.406. This is on a stock i7-6700k 4.2ghz boost.
I used to use the ''asus optimal'' in the asus Ez mode bios. So I tried switching it back to normal, this even give me a higher VID. keeps around 1.35volt and max 1.406 volt. My VID was a bit low with ''asus optimal'' on. But still very high.
Here are some screenshots of hwmonitor:
This one is now, with default settings in the bios:
And this one was with asus optimal on after running realbench:
So somehow my VID was lower with the optimized settings on, which basically gave a small overclock to my cpu, and also affected my ram a bit. Had xmp on @3333mhz, Optimized settings downclocked the ram to 2956mhz.
Anyone knows if this is harmful? My temps are pretty low though. I'm using Corsair h100i v2 as cpu cooler.
Would overclocking with 5 ways optimization with ai suite 3 help getting more stable voltages?
