To reduce the vid, use a lower llc. I'd also make sure the app I'm using for monitoring is up to date.

Did you mean Load Line Calibration? I was set to Level 7

Yep llc= load line calibration. I noticed it was on level 7, which is why i suggested you reduce it. Level 7 will request high vid. Reduce it to reduce the vid. Also make sure the voltage monitoring software you're using is accurate.

Not working LLC 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 only working LLC 7 1.18v bios, 1.2v cpu-z, 1.31v coretemp vid

What happens when you set a lower llc? Not working doesn't mean much on its own. Cpu-z should be accurate. I've never used coretemp to monitor voltages.

Hi again,

The Overclockers generally use HwMonitor and Core Temps app for track temps and Vid value. Two apps listed same values. Other users see low vid values. You can check google image results and youtube videos.

I think Strix Z370-i motherboard have a bug in BIOS. I see too much VDROOP

I think CPU-Z is most commonly used.

I would use 6 for the LLC imo as 7 will cause it to go way over what it needs, but you should check your load line settings under power management in bios.

They use CPU-Z more than anythign else for VID - as it's frequently updated. Core temp is mostly used for temps, not VID.
Some vdroop is good. One needs to understand overshoot to understand why vdroop exists. These are not trivial topics.
