March 11, 20224 yr I've been always concerned that my meh grade 10700k's top V/F curve voltage is 1.498v, which is for the 5.1Ghz top turbo bin. Note that is a stock out of the box setting. That top turbo bin is limited to 2 cores running, but still, all the cores, running or not, get juiced at that voltage (well, at least close to it) from time to time. I think I've seen 1.43v in HWInfo64. After seeing Jayz experiment here I'm now not so concerned (providing that my cooler is doing its job).

March 17, 20224 yr Decided to take a close look at the top turbo bin voltage in action. HWInfo64 records a 1.46v max voltage which I'm sure is that turbo bin in action. For my 7/24 OC I bumped my top turbo bin to 5.2Ghz; sure enough that's also recorded as the max multiplier in this case. My assessment: Intel basically now squeezes out every ounce of purported clock speed by pushing what was once considered crazy and foolish voltages, which BTW are now "stock", through their cores to hit those speeds, which they'll do until either the compute task has completed, or thermal or power limits are exceeded. Now one may ask: why is that guy even bothering with 1.9% boost in the clock...'cause it's there to be had.

Seems we are seeing higher voltages and temp thresholds with new parts than we are accustomed to. DDR6X Junction Temps. Z690 chipset temps, we may need to get used to the new normal.
