1.35V in Bios 1.376V in CPUZ????

Yeah, change it to 1.335v in bios.

Disable LLC?

Where would the LLC be?

Edit: NVM found it. Is my voltage actually 1.35 or 1.376??

Load-Line Calibration, same place you'll find your voltages I would assume.

1.376 at idle, load it up with prime 95 and see if it goes up or down under load.

Im running tests right now on Intel Burn Test, and it hasn't changed since I started it. So it is actually at 1.376 and not 1.35 like it says in my BIOS?

Correct.

Sounds like you have too much load line compensation, either lower your LLC level or lower your voltage in the bios.

Alright, so should I turn LLC off or keep it on?

My LLC is on auto right now, what should it be at?

Do you have more options than on auto and off?

Auto, On, Off. Thats it.

So either leave it on auto and lower your vcore in bios or turn it off which means you'll have to probably raise it a bit in bios to deal with the vdroop under load in windows.

i think the H55N is like my H55M and only has one LLC level.
and its not a good LLC,it idles higher and also goes higher under load
depending what you have set.if i set 1.1437v in bios it idles at 1.15v
and goes to 1.16v under load.and if i drop down two more to 1.131v
stays at 1.15v idle but also 1.15v load and at 1.137v its 1.15 idle/1.16v load
thats because the vcore voltage changes in increments of 0.0063v,so you will
find certain times its about right but other voltages its not because of the
different increment that cpuz uses,i think cpuz goes by 0.016v

LLC is designed to compensate for intel's design to account for Vcc overshoot.

So if your enabling it, understand it and monitor it. I think the actual voltages we see depends on the board/cpu combo.

My X58 SLI does the same thing, I set 1.393v in bios, and it idles windows at 1.40, loads at 1.41...

If you know the minimum voltage your cpu will run at stable, then you set the bios with the windows idle voltage in mind...

So if you need 1.35v to run stable, find the setting in bios that gives your 1.35v in cpu-z at idle or load, whichever is lowest.

These fluctuations are perfectly normal. Some boards just seem to do a better job at keeping it at what its set to in bios.
