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

do not look at VID. look at Vcore only. my vcore is a lot lower than my VID
please note that VID is not affected by motherboard or bios settings
some setting called “DC Load Line” in bios , can change VID , which shown in hwinfo app.
like , if you set different DC loadline value > its change VID value > its affect power consumption value,.
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.
check this: https://www.overclock.net/threads/msi-lite-load-and-mapping-to-cpu-ac-dc-load-lines.1805086/
and this: https://imgur.com/a/ZK1gQ1Qif you are using MSI pro z790p ,. this will help (im using this board);
what you see VID value in HW monitor apps,. is useless ,.( its only used to correct , error readings in power draw)
use VCore (like u/Cradenz said); if you want currect power draw reading then change DC loadline values)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.
thanks for the new photos! Well it’s strange, it seems to be doing the opposite on my board: the lower the DC loadline, the more realistic the reported power figure is, but the farther away the reported VID is from the actual vcore. At DC loadline=1 I got the closest power reading to the current I measured on the EPS cable (which is still about 20% higher)
yes it’s right,.until we touch offset vcore values,.
for ex:
i use DC loadline 80 for LLC7; 50 for LLC 6; 10 for LLC3; 1 for LLC1 (if iam not using offset vcore)
then if i add -0.130v offset,. > i add those offset value with DC loadline,. so using 130 DC loadline
