im having issues

after my build... and a 4 months of a ski season, my comp ran at 4.5 day in day out in a unvented wardrobe for the last few months, might have been -20c outside but my flat was warm indoors

and it was all good, never crashed once

anyhow, i got to 4.5 on stock vcore, i pushed it to 1.39v trying to get 5 stable, it trys to run prime but either prime crashes or it bsod's me (within a min of starting) im not sure i even want my vcore that high

but cpu-z says its sitting at 1.368 idel, and under prime it says its 1.344

so im thining i need to add some offset....?

is that the dynamic dvid setting, as its grayed out and im not sure how to turn it on

cheers in advance

Sounds like you need more llc to reduce your vdroop.

4.5 stock volts is a 4.9-5.0 chip for sure. LLC Xtreme level and try again. Monitor temps and dont go over 1.4 load volts.

llc now set to extreme, the temps is prime went up fast, but as the chip was only really getting 1.344 before i droped my vcore to 1.380, which cpuz says its getting

seems fine, though after about 10 mins worker 3, of the 8 instances of prime failed as it was "rounding to .5", no clue what the poo that means but ill take it as a fail, the other 7 kept going though... but i stoped it there after about another 5 mins

temps after 15 mins, (it hit these temps almost instantly in prime) were max 93, 96, 94, 88, though they seemed to be spikes as sitting looking at them they seemed to hover around the 82-88 mark..... but thats high

probably have to drop it to 4.9, which is disappointing considering i got 4.5 at stock vcore

this is all on a rad with no fans though

Get some fans on the RAD man. Also dont just throw Vcore at it. Try tuning VTT and IMC volts. First Try 1.05 IMC and 1.1VTT.
