So I have been Googling around to see what people are getting for their voltages to run 4.5 GHz on a i5/i7.

I am wondering if I should be disappointed with my chip. Many people are saying things like 1.3-1.33v for 4.5. What I am wondering is do most people report their vcore under load, or their idle vcores?

For example, I need 1.35 vcore BIOS with "high" LLC (the Z77 board I have has two more settings above high).

In Windows I am idling around 1.358V and under load I am 1.332V.

So...do I have a bad chip, or am I right in line with others?

Also...I set my voltage to Auto once to see what would happen. At 4.2 GHz under load it went up to ~1.5V! I am hoping since this did not happen for more than a few minutes that there would be no damage to the chip...
 
First question is what chip do you have? I see you said I5/I7 but we need more detail.
 
i7-2600k

Also...I now enabled hypterthreading and need 1.36 BIOS with "turbo" LLC (second highest setting).

My idle is 1.368 and my load is 1.356.

I am going to go out on a limb and say my chip is pretty bad lol.
