Thinking of boosting the cache on my 4790k, chip runs grand at 4.7 on 1.300. Bench/game stable for months now. At default the cache voltage is very high, 1.27 but I lowered this to 1.200 without issue. Found cache to help with a few benchmarks. What's the max voltage for cache and is slightly lower than cpu multi still the best for stability as opposed to matching cpu multi of 47. Thanks in advance.
 
Yep stulid I remember seeing that on a gigabyte guide you done. Did you leave cache voltage on auto? Just on my Asus Z87 board, auto is extremely high. Tbh does it make much difference in normal use, I've only ran a 4400mhz cache for a few benchmarks such as super pi, cinebench.
 
Iirc stulid, vring on gigabyte is cache on asus Z8/97. And vrin is gigabytes version of what asus call input voltage? Ill be honest ive only clocked haswell on asus boards as thats what im familiair with. I know you are a user and fan of gigabyte boards. Hence i do get a bit confused sometimes with each vendors products. That and getting a bit older too.:D
 
Aye, tbh mate i wish they would use standard terms across the manufacturers range. Been trying all week to get the one in sig game stable at 4.8. 1.3100v with 1.88 input passes a few benchmarks with the gpu's clocked to 1202/1176, (stock volts for those). But bf4 fires up a 0x101 bsod after a few minutes. Now i think this is vcore related. And when adding more volts this chip can get pretty hot. And id hazard a good guess that i wouldnt need it clocked that high for games with sli 780's. But you know how it is, you always want that bit more.:)
