AMD FX 8350 voltage queries.
Hi everyone, I've got a little bit of a problem regarding my new set up.
I got a new rig for Christmas which included a MSI Gaming 970 motherboard and a AMD FX 8350. I robbed the cooler off my old pc which is a Arctic Freezer Pro 7 and i noticed quite hot temperatures upon entering a game. Forza Horizon 3 took my CPU to 70C !
So after going into bios and disabling the turbo boost technology for my CPU the temperatures have dropped dramatically. The only thing that still bothers me is that when i use MSI commander it tells me that my CPU is still using 1.49V which seems very high still to me.
I can use MSI commander to drop the volts but since reinstalling windows 10 today sometimes it seems to fail to load and tells me my overclocking has failed and fail safe defaults need to be applied before posting past bios.
I'm wondering all in all if the voltage for the CPU is high or if I'm just worrying over nothing.
Thanks for any help and information.
