Hi
I had a quick play overclocking last night and I cant seem to figure out how to reduce the voltage

Default the CPU is at 34x, and I cranked it up to 40x - 4Ghz and rebooted and the voltage was 1.3+ish, before this it was 1.18

I went into Prime95 and done a Torture blend test and after about 10 minutes the CPU was in the 70s

Which option is it to reduce the voltage? Cant find it



My case is a CoolerMaster HAF 912 and Im using the Coolermaster Hyper TX3 with 3 x Direct Contact heat-pipes CPU Cooling Fan


Any help at all would be appreciated
 
I have the Gigabyte Z68A-B3-D3

Is it one of those options Im supposed to choose to control the voltage? I just dont understand the values available

Current vCore: 1.18V

It doesnt even go as high as 1.18V in that list, this mobo is different to my old one. You chose which voltage you wanted to use, seems different with this mobo or I am missing something
 
I understand yeah, cheers

So whats the default vcore exactly so I know what to add etc.. and I want it as low as possible right? My PC needs to be able to boot up, but I want the vcore as low as possible because the higher it is, the hotter it will be. Am I understanding correctly?
 
Or wait if I take back what I jus asked because maybe it doesnt matter, if I overclock my system to 4Ghz

Then add the lowest + vcore value first, if it doesnt boot up, increase the vcore to the second lowest + value.... and so on, until it boots up. Is that what Im meant to be doing ?
If that makes sense
 
Is the QuickBoost Overclock in Bios Touch any good? Does that set do anything to voltages or is it just automatic like how I did it before in normal bios, I only increased the CPU thing from 34x to 40x. Didnt do anything else, the voltage changed automatically by itself
