i5 6600k high voltage spikes

alec.crozier · Aug 6, 2018

I have my i5-6600k clocked at 4.5 ghz on an Asus z170-a mobo. In the bios I have manually set the Vcore to 1.28v but while stress testing my OC I see voltage spikes of up to 1.39v on some cores. My temps are ok at around 57°c during the stress test. I'm also getting somewhat regular crashes while playing cpu heavy games like witcher 3 and Ashes of the Singularity. I wan't this OC to be 100% stable, but I'm uncomfortable with raising the Vcore more because of the spikes, even though my temps are good. PLS HELP

Question from alec.crozier : "i5-6600k voltage spikes"

alec.crozier :

I have my i5-6600k clocked at 4.5 ghz running on an Asus Z170-A motherboard. I have manual overclock settings with stock ram at 2400mhz. The overclock is perfectly stable when I run cpu tests like Cinebench r15, but I have been getting crashes in cpu heavy games like Witcher 3 and Ashes of the Singularity. I have been using HWiNFO64 to monitor my system. I noticed that even though I have a manual overclock in the bios with the cpu Vcore set to 1.28v, with no other OC software installed, I'm getting cpu voltage spikes of up to 1.39v. My Temps are remaining ok with max temps around 57°c, I'm new to overclocking, so what do you guys think is causing the voltage spikes? Are they the likely reason that I'm getting somewhat frequent Blue Screens? Please help!!

It's probably just your LLC compensating for vdroop. Disable it in the BIOS. It might make your OC unstable and it will probably require a higher voltage.
