z370 Taichi/8700k OC voltages too high

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   OK, I gave up on custom OCing and went over to the Optomized OC settings menu, but no matter what setting I set that to (even the lowest of 4.5 GHz) when I start Prime95 (latest version) it turns down the CPU to 4.295 GHz. This happens no matter what I set the BIOS OC setting to.
Temps never go above 70c

If I set the board to no OC and then just enable Multicore Enhancement it idles at 4.7 GHz and then under load goes down to 4.3 and voltages are pegged at 1.414
Temps do not go above 65c

Could this be bad board power management?

	BIOS version 1.17 Z370 Taichi 8700k dellided/metal TIM Win 10 set to Balanced power mode If I set the CPU to 45 locked on all cores and set LLC to 1 and a fixed voltage of 1.200v I get min voltages of .665 but sustained voltage under load of 1.46. If I set the LLC to anything other than 1 the voltages go higher (level 3 got to 1.54). Load temps are in the mid 60s. If I lock the CPU at 4.8 on cores, LLC 1, voltage at 1.200 I get the exact same results... .665 to 1.46 65c. If I lock the CPU to 50 with everything the same I get same voltages but temps in the low 90s. Is there some setting I am not seeing to get the voltages down under 1.4? This is really frustrating. Forgot to mention... I reset BIOS back to default and I am getting VID .665 to 1.414. So basically this board seems to have its factory voltages set WAY too high... this is with Multicore Enhancement set to Disabled Edited by N.I. - 04 Nov 2017 at 4:02am
