haswell using more volt ?

[MCRAYGSX]

I am running STOCK 4770K with ASUS Z87 PRO, no OC.
NOCTUA NH D14 as a cooling options

Problem is my CPU is using around 1.24 voltage under normal load ( playing crisis 3) and Temps Rise around 73C. I heard these chips use much less voltage ? What gives, did I just get a poor chip which requires more volt to operate ?

When CPU is sitting IDLE the TEMP Drops to 42C and Volt drops to around 0.080 V.

By Default Core 0 is set to 39 ratio, Core 1 39, Core 2 38 & Core 3 37. I wonder why they all wont work to 39

can set sync all cores in bios.
since turbo is active the power draw seems right.(not an expert there)
normal use haswell draw less power due to states.

can try asus tips for oc to find out what kind of chip you have.

That is how Turbo Core works. There's a maximum speed for each situation under heavy load: 1-2 cores, 3 and 4 cores. You can change it as explained above.

Makes sense but in my PC, weather I am playing CRYSIS 3 or just playing World of Tanks ( low resources requirments), CPU always stays at around 3.6 to 3.8 Ghz, this is with default BIOS settings. I have to set SYNC all cores manually in Asus MAXIMUS VI HERO for it to reach 3.89 Ghz.
Thx for reply.
