[SOLVED] 7700k voltage high without OC?

[nickpascutti]

Hello everyone,I’ve been experiencing high temps on my cpu (i7 7700k), even if I’m not overclocking, which i don’t need to
do.I checked into the bios and I saw the voltage is 1.368V, which from what I know is higher than it should be. Is that why the temps go higher? Is it possible to lower that voltage?

I solved by changing the potential in the BIOS manually. I set it manually to 1.2 V, which lowered consistently my temps. This allowed me to manually change the Smart FAN curve, so it spins at lower RPM, while temps are lower than before.
win-win situation
