What BIOS rev are you running?
What CPU do you have?
Are you over clocking?
What brand, model, speed is your RAM?

Have you tried loading set up defaults and setting up from scratch?

Were you running an earlier BIOS rev which allowed other vCore, then flashed to latest f7d?

If so, that is your answer.

When microcode updates are released, stepping values are modified.  Not always perfectly or to our liking.  If your system is running stable, there is no need to update your BIOS.  What rev were you running when it worked?  That's where you should be if loading set up defaults or clearing the CMOS doesn't help.

Keep in mind that your memory choice can also effect this ratio.  They might be tied.  Not to say they should be identical, but if a profile for the RAM does not exist, it might affect the default vCore of the CPU.  Setting your RAM voltage and timing manually in M.I.T might allow you to adjust the default CPU vCore in f7d.

OK the problem was in some chip that was broken don't know how that happen but it's ok now...

now i have couple of question ..
1-is changing the Vcore from auto to manual going to permanent to this number i put? like keep loading the vcore at exp 1.22v

like this 

2- now if i go back to auto shouldn't the vcore drop and rise when it need it?

cuz now it's like that even when i put auto

Greetings,
This has been an ongoing issue with z270 chipset.  There are many posts and you tube videos from people who have asked the same question.  Why is default vCore tied to other settings?  Don't think it has ever been answered.  Others might have more to add.

So.... it's normal for the vcore to stay at 1.16 if it was on manual setting right?

while on auto it will be like this right?

it's the same setting i didn't do anything in bios... just put the PC to sleep and wake up to find it was fixed .. or back to normal
