Thank you so much Kenmitch for following and your help, I will have to tinker more in the bios and trial\error to see what I can get to work.
Changing Vcore offset did not help.
What bothers me is even when setting bios to defaults, I still get 1.6V from CPUZ when running Prime95...
Yes my board is the same and the bios looks like your screenshots. I did find that page while doing my research before posting, but not much there to actually show how to make overclocking changes.
Voltage settings are on auto, and I tried changing CPU VCore Mode to fixed setting and making...
OK I loaded optimum defaults to get a look at what stock idle and load specs are.
Idle uses 16 multiplier - core temps range 29C to 33C - CPUZ reports voltage 1.296V
Load uses 34 multiplier - core temps range 48C to 52C - CPUZ reports 1.600V (!!)
Is that voltage too high under load...
Yes, temps of 60C are when running Prime95 with 100% load on all cores.
If nothing is running and I load CPUZ the multiplier stays at 33 and never goes lower.
I guess so, I did not change speedstep or any other setting and I never drop below 3.3GHz.
I am using a Cooler Master Hyper 212plus for cooling.
Temps at 4.4GHz are 58-60C. I think I can go higher, I love this chip.
I loaded Prime95 and noticed CPUZ was up to over 4GHz with my setting of 40.
I guess I was not doing much and cpu was at idle when I first posted.
Thank you drive through.
EDIT - FIXED
I am dumb and did not use the latest version of CPUZ, I was using 1.55 from an old flash drive.
At 4.4GHz - temps are 56C to 60C - voltage at a steady 1.272V.
Much better :)
Thanks for all the input and advice.
Hi and thanks for reading.
I am not sure what...
This pic of TridenT made me think of Lance Mountain the skater from the 80s.
and here is his doppelganger

Long lost brothers?
You remind me of a young Lance Mountain (a skater for Powell Peralta back in the 80s)
