and my oc settings are 200x20 = 4ghz
my question is that when I am running windows
my vcore stays at 1.368 (cpu-z) and sometimes
goes up to 1.378 or around that (it only stays that high
for some seconds) and when I run prime95 or something
that makes the processor work, my vcore goes all down
to 1.3 V. What am I doing wrong?
I really want to run 4ghz here.. I am running with a corsair
h50 so temps are fine.
 
Thats vdroop, its an intel specification to decrease wear on processors. Your motherboard may have an option to "disable vdroop" or enable load line calibration to remove vdroop however.
