cpu voltage question

[jorgonz45]

i put my CPU under load or a stress test and even when i play games my voltage stays at 0.865v is this normal or an issue i should resolve?

Depends on the CPU. LP CPUs or in low power state, they often run at such voltages

I have an i7 10700F

So, either the CPU overheats or the VRMs can't hold the load or cores are clocked at lower frequency or the voltage reader (software) is wrong.

Doesnt overheat I was looking at temps it doesn’t go high at all and how can I change it if it’s at lower frequency? And how can I tell if it can’t hold the load I used cinebench to check this stuff for the cpu

Is it 4.6GHz stable all cores?

Not sure I’m not super tech savey lol i know cpu speed is 2.90ghz and when I ran stress tests all cores were working 100%

what mobo?

weak board can limit power if its vrms cant give it the power it wants

real easy way to monitor is use cpuz open it on second monitor and fire up
a game it will cycle thru each core and give you the core volts for each core and mhz as well
i also use it for benching and stress testing i think it aligns better with real world gaming
applications than the others.its all i use when im overclocking as well.

gpuz is a great tool for your gpu as well.they are my go to.
gives you all the info for your gpu and a few cpu as well

motherboard is B460m PRO-VDH WIFI

sorry, its a cheap board
4+1+1, but atleast it has heatsinks on all of its mosfets
but still limit cpu cores to around 100w

if you have a decent cooler on it, the cpu cant go over 90c due to the boards limit
