Hello,
first excuse me for my English, this is not my foreign language. I'm from Germany. I got one question and i hope you guys can help me out with this. I just got my new hardware, i7 6700K, Maximus VIII Hero, 16 GB HyperX Fury 2666 MHz. After first Boot everything was set to Default in UEFI and
working as intended. I checked Temps and VCore with AIDA64/HWMonitor and they seemed pretty fine. 24 Degrees in Idle, 49 Degrees under Full Load on all cores with AIDA64 Extreme System Stability Test. VCore goes from 0,7V @800 MHz up to 1.3 @4200 MHz Turbo on all Cores.
Now i set AI Overclock to XMP. From now on the CPU is also running @800 MHz in Idle but with a VCore of 1.264 Volt, wich is the Stock Voltage Set in UEFI for CPU Core/Cache Voltage. This seemed a little bit strange to me so i set everything back to Default.
I noticed, that the board has recognized the correct RAM Settings/Timings even without XMP. So there is no need for me to use this but i would like to know if it is normal that VCore is getting so high in Idle when using XMP Setting. I just want to be sure that my board is fine.
I appreciate your help. Thanks!
With Kind regards,
