If you where to select the value you wish to change and type in a number. You will find the space where auto is currently is replaced by the value you typed in. So yes you can over-clock and yes you do have voltage settings. The nice thing about the Gigabyte BIOS is that they are all pretty much the same.

Go check out the virutal bios for your series of board it is interactive so you can play around with it.

Have fun.
 
How can i change it since there arent Vcore setting i know how to change values.. But there aint no Vcore voltage at all .@ Advanced Voltage Settings in Cpu section there are only these setings : Load-Line Calibration ;Dynamic Vcore(DVID) ; QPI/Vtt Voltage ; System Agent Voltage. Maybe i dont underestand your answer or something?
I bought K cpu and aftermarket cooler not to run @ default values... I
Im new with intel i had Amd for like 8 years...I know i might sound noob or repeat same questions which ware already discussed but
someone please help....

Im having same problem with the D3 - also LAN driver messes up occasionally and takes 64 seconds to connect, have to reinstall lan driver, done this 4 times already... im annoyed and wished I never bothered with Gigabye board now - whats worse is it has to be sorted or replaced before Sunday as im taking the PC up to my dad then.. a search on web showed at least 1 or 2 others with same issue...

i can overclock and auto changes the voltages but ive been told to adjust manually and I cant - change the multiplier, reboot into BIOS and check the Vcore amount on main page - mine for 4.4Ghz is 1.284v - but if cant adjust manually theres no chance of fine tuning it

if you get a fix let me know

I just contacted Gigabyte about this missing feature , i mainly asked about bios uptade for this board and about missing vcore, couse i think it is the only one board of p67's that still doesnt have any update since release...I noticed that all gigabytes p67's has alt + f1 for some advanced options as far i read there we should be able to unlock vcore voltage seting (not 100% sure)...

i will give it a go.. i have emailed them too

there is an update as I updated it when I first installed it to F3 - someone on gigabyte forums linked me to a beta bios firmware but it was external link on file-den and im dubious about that...could be anything or faulty or someones home made FW and this is not my PC, its my dads im trying to sort for him.

you can still overclock it ... for me its the LAN problems im having I find annoying - could be ditching this board..someone else did on another forum
 
Can you change the D-vid from auto? If so you should be able to move your V-core up or down via that, I have the ud3-p and although I have the ability to change my V-core manually, I choose to do it via the D-vid as it improves the V-droop.
If you can, Increase it a couple of notches and save and then re-enter bios to check that it has moved up from it`s normal V-core, dont forget to make a note of your starting V-core 1st, Also keep an eye on your V-droop and if it is too much you might want to enable LLC.
 
From reading the online manuall i think you need to enable 'Load-Line Calibration' - this should then give you access to the vCore setting - then set the vCore to what you want.

what i V-droop and LLC?

im assuming DVID increases the voltage by my set amount when speedstep turns off and it goes into 4.4Ghz...then when speedstep kicks in the DVID decreases back to 0.00 (normal voltage)..? or is that what Vdroop does?

ive tried changing the auto settings to enable and no Vcore appears..

could I have a faulty board? many others, even Z68 users have same problems

No, i've probably 'guestimated' incorrectly as i don't have that board. Plus you may have to up the voltage indirectly through another setting...

Could you not enable 'LLC' at all?

If i get time later i'll look at the manual - i'm afraid i got called out to meeting when i posted yesterday.
 
ok changing anything doesnt reveal the Vcore - these boards are new and probs dont have them, I did increase the VDIM by 0.030 and it did go up from 1.272 (4Ghz) to 1.296 flicking between 1.308 - i changed back to auto and its back to 1.284 (4.4Ghz)

it seems on this board it calibrates everything itself, the LoadLine Calibration says
enabled = improve vdroop directly
disabled = follow intel spec
auto

now when i had it on enabled the voltage was slightly higher at 1.308, i set at AUTO and it was 1.284, so this leads me to think AUTO is DISABLED (Follow Intel Spec)

is 1.284 alright for 4.4Ghz?

the next problem i have is whenever i change any BIOS settings the realtek LAN driver is faulty and needs to be re-installed? when i boot into windows it fails to connect then takes a further 64 seconds connecting (Identifying...) then it connects... I have to reinstall the driver fresh to get it back to staring in 2 seconds once desktop is loaded... gee, i wish i got the MSI board now.. so much for Gigabyte being reliable!!
 
I was hoping if you enabled the feature you may get access to your vCore - but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Those voltages are fine for 4.4GHz.

There's no right or wrong with voltages as the results are very dependent on the chip/MB (and even exactly the same specs will get carying results.)

It does sound like you need to investigate your BIOS a bit more for future tweaking - i would try the Gigabyte forums.
 
i have...not much use i will tell you... i as told to install BETA BIOS F3 which mine is already running..when i installed the board I updated it online with @BIOS - its now on F3

..im also gunna re-sit the HSF today as im convinced im putting too much on

If you do check the CPU and HS base for coverage - and adjust the amounts accordingly.

As mentioed before a rize/pea sized blob in the middle of the CPU is usually enough - with a flat HS surface (different for exposed heatpiped - but yours is smooth, from what i can remember, Gelid?)

Did you remeber to reset the CMOS after updating the BIOS?
 
no I didnt know I had too? i just been told as its dual to check both are updated and if not too update them, i hope this is the problem for both matters but mostly the LAN as ive just edited BIOS again and its fine...its just seems random (few times a day) that lan goes funny

checking now

It may not solve your problems/issues - but when you've flashed the BIOS it's best practice to clear the CMOS afaterwards.

First thing, LLC on auto should default to the intel spec for V-droop (actaully it is called V-drop but V-droop is more common) and it is actually there for a reason, some boards and makes have more V-droop than others, so enabling LLC can help reduce it and like my UD3-P, you only have the option to enable or disable, other boards have diff levels of LLC.

I am not sure why your board does not have individual V-core adjustment, What does your manual say about it? If it is in there and listed as a feature then you should look to RMA the board as there is clearly something not right. If your bios is supposed to be like that then the only adjustment you can make for the V-core is D-vid and use the V-core off the bios to offset to (should be highlighted down the bottom of the screen when you enter M.I.T, just below your DRAM voltage).

As far as your On-board lan goes, really cant say tbh, as It is not something I am too familiar with, Mine is disabled as I dont use mine though could point to another issue with bios, though like I said not sure.

I've only scanned his manual during lunch.

I was expecting to read something that he could enable so that he would then be able to access his vCore directly - or at least via another setting such as you've suggested. Having said that the 'dynamic vCore' (DVID) does seem the most obvious from what i've read.

Snadge - did you try the 'dynamic vCore' setting (DVID)?

If you have, try it again now you've done the CMOS reset.
