I've been working on overclocking my CPU and found myself needing to add more voltage to the VTT for stability. As I upped the amount closer to Intel's recommended max, I thought I should find some method of seeing where my levels were sitting at other than my bios. I tried out HWiNFO64 and the VTT readings are not lining up with my bios settings or readings. They are much higher than I am expecting. Even after loading the optimized defaults I have a reading of 1.2v under load, which is the max for my processor and occasionally get spikes of 1.26v. When overclocking, both with fixed or dynamic vCore, I get VTT levels ranging from 1.2x to 1.3x which is too high. They will often drop while under load to an acceptable level. I assume due to a VTT droop or something. I'm just curious how accurate the VTT reading is from HWiNFO? Are jumps in VTT from what was set in the bios a common thing?
