My first post, so please forgive as this has likely been addressed.
I just built a new computer;
i7 6700k
212 EVO cooler
MSI z170a Gaming M5 mobo
2x8 gb Corsair 3200 ram.
Corsair Rmx 750w psu
MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X
Windows 10
I've noticed through CPU-Z and HWMonitor that my voltages seem high. Vcore max @ 1.328v, VID max @ 1.395v (according to HWM)
Right now my CPU is running at 4.2 ghz, and I don't think it needs to be so high, I'd like to lower the voltages so Vcore peaks around 1.25-1.28v (assuming it's stable).
I like the idea of adaptive voltages, and I am unclear of the best way to do this. Adaptive mode, offset mode, etc. I would prefer to go this route over a static voltage.
Secondly, what's very strange to me is I never did any overclocking to this card. BIOS shows 40x multiplier, 4.00 ghz, Boost mode is OFF, yet it runs at 4200 mhz. XMP is turned ON, but that shouldn't OC the cpu. So that seems very strange to me.
Suggestions? Thanks
