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

    yeah I was indeed able to manipulate the reported VID value with the DC loadline. I’m therefore interested in the original intel configuration value and a way of reliably retrieving it without it being manipulated by the DC loadline setting. Knowing an arbitrarily manipulated value isn’t useful for the question I asked.

      You need to set a static Vcore and AC/DC Load Line to the minimum possible values and then check to see the base VID which you’re looking for.

      If you haven’t done that yet - and it sounds like you haven’t - you’re flipping out about the motherboard-configured VID which is 100-250mV higher than the fused VID depending on the default AC load line set by the BIOS.
