Very High Voltage everything is set to Auto in bios.

[szymonm2]

Hi,
My cpu voltage is very high. When it is on idle the voltage is around 0.7V and on stress tests they are 1.212V.
Also the CPU frequency is 3.6 Ghz and not 3.4Ghz as it should be in bios

MY PC Specs
i5 4670k
Gigabyte Z87X-D3H
Corsair CX500
Samsung 840 EVO 120GB
1TB WD BLUE
Thermalright Macho 140mm BW HR-02
Corsair Vengeance 8GB RAM
Liteon Sata Blu-ray/ DVD
Corsair 200r

I have contracted gigabyte support however they did not respond yet.
Here are some photos that I will provide http://share.pho.to/6oxfK
I tried updating to bios to f8 but it didnt work so I downgraded it again to f5...
Can anyone help me thanks?

PS: Ive been trying to fix this issue for the apst 2 days with no luck
PS. I get very high temperatures using an after market cooler - 75*C under full load for 20 min
PS: i have cleared cmos and loaded optimized defauls a couple of times

Thanks for any help

All of those numbers look normal to me.

This is Intel SpeedSteep. When the processor runs in a high performance
state for an extended period of time the voltage is automatically increased.

Max performance voltage of ~1.2V is typical for Ivy Bridge CPUs.

This is Intel Turbo Boost kicking in. This raises the CPU frequency if you are
only using 1-2 of the CPU cores.

This is completely normal with Ivy Bridge CPUs. You should only be concerned
if the CPU temperature reaches > 95C, and then you may experience some
system instability / crashes.

Even above 95C - 100C, the system and CPU have thermal protection that will
prevent them from suffering any permanent damage.

This processor is haswell not ivy. Also talked people on forum and they said that 1.2 is wayy to much even at 100%. My friend has an i7 4770k, he idles on around 0.5V and 1V stress testing
