I’m seeing CPU VID = 1.418v at max stock frequencies on my i7-14700K - is that too bad? Should I return it and wait for another opportunity to get another piece? I hoped I’d find more info in this thread but so far I only found one person with a 14700K there and their max VID=1.379

    1.418v to me sounds like an ASUS motherboard stock voltage, yeah it’s up there but its by no means in the danger zone, you can run it at that no problem, but lower will just allow it to run cooler and more efficiently.

    Theres nothing actually wrong with that voltage, its not necessary, but its also not a problem in the time of ownership you have that CPU. You’ll probably find that voltage is lower on someone elses board for many different reasons, literally a single BIOS version is all it takes for that number to change.
