Hi! i am running a 6700K just above 4600mhz with temps under 70c under load but i see that core vid is between 0.846v - 1.438v and that sounds way too high to me, i have been running it like this for several monts without any problem. I overclocked using the motherboard bios self overclock Asus Z170 sabertooth mark 1 tool, because when i do the overclocking i cant reach 4.6ghz. maybe because i dont want the vid to reach that high? so.. what do you guys think? should i skip the extra muscle due to all that juice thats going in to my core vid right now?
High core vid due to overclock

Your Bios allows various ways to OC your CPU and you need to know the difference between VID voltage and Core voltage. If you have no intentions OCing then leave things on Auto.
VID (Voltage Identification Digital) is what Intel has specified for your CPU for a specific VID range (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage...cation_Digital)
Basically this means that the highest voltage that the motherboard's VRM (Voltage Regulation Module) should supply the CPU as Vcore is within a range of 0.846v - 1.438v and depends on system load and frequency.
However, one can override this by setting Vcore manually in BIOS, which allows for better overclocking of the CPU and auto settings can be dangerous and not the best way to go if you OC. Also it's worthy to note that VID readings are not always very accurate with software.
You should never exceed 1.4V on the core for longevity when setting for manual Vcore.
VID voltage can also vary depending on Cstates and that's why overclockers generally disable these Cstates as it will have an effect on your OC and are just a power saving feature.
Vdroop is also a consideration when OCing and a manual core voltage setting with LLC (Load Line Calibration) set correctly will provide for a more stable OC.

yes! absolutely, i had uploaded a picture but now it seems like its gone.. i know that its dropping due to less load and so on but i just wondered why it peaks so high when the "bios" is supposed to clock on a more "safe" level then if i im changing vid voltage on my own?
