Every CPU is different. There is a chance that you have one that takes more voltage. But your voltage @ stock speeds is within the Intel spec, so your chip is not defective. You may just have a poor OCing CPU.

so i can't send it to rma?

Does it run as advertized?

If no, then:

Have you attempted to run it higher than stock settings?

Only if the answer to both of these is no can you RMA it. Otherwise, it's warranty fraud.

so i can't send it to rma?

Why? Because it doesn't run properly at stock speeds? Oh, but it does, right?

Let me impart some computer wisdom on you.

Your SSD will never benchmark as fast as what others report on the internet.

Your CPU will never overclock as high as what others report on the internet.

Your game framerates will never be as high as what others report on the internet.

Your CPU and GPU temperatures will never be as low as what others report on the internet.

Once you accept those statements, you will live a much happier life. You don't have to understand why. As long as your computer does not operate abnormally at completely stock settings, you got what you paid for. Anything extra is a bonus.

If you really must understand why, it is simple. Most people who post about their overclocks are either better than you at overclocking, more experienced than you at overclocking, have better equipment for overclocking than you have, or are luckier than you. And outside of reviews, those posting on forums are often bragging. Their results ARE OFTEN NOT NORMAL.

And no, you can't RMA your CPU just because you feel that it should overclock at a lower voltage.

Your CPU has defected to North Korea.

Actually no. That covers killing your processor, it's not a guarantee of the ability of your processor to overclock.
