HW monitor CPU V core vs VID #

Skream86 · Jul 13, 2018

Hi guys,

I am struggling to find a definitive answer on the forums here. I am currently overclocking my 2500k and am not sure what to take as my voltage. On HW monitor it lists my V core as 1.350 volts however on VID # it lists 1.450 volts on VID #0 1 2 and 3. However CPU-Z core voltage lines up with CPU V core on HWmonitor. Could someone elaborate?

Thanks

VCORE voltage is the core voltage you set in the bios or with OC software. CPU-Z and most BIOS's will call it core voltage, HWMonitor calls it VCORE.

I don't know how to explain VID voltage, there is a lot of conflicting info out there on what it actually means. From my own testing with a 7700k it always seems to be above the core voltage I set in the BIOS and will increase with clock speed.

Here is an article on VID, however I am not sure this information is entirely accurate.

Ah okay I see. From my research there does seem to be a lot of conflicting info. I just wanted to make sure I'm not being an idiot and cooking my chip. It seems to sit at 0.1 volts above v core for me. I possibly do seem to have a lucky chip

Vid is the voltage value that you set in the BIOS Setup. Vcore is the voltage that the CPU actually receives after taking into account Vdroop.
