Gigabyte Z77M-D3H is OC useless ?

[stulid]

Is it in, MIT/Advanced voltage settings/cpu core voltage control?

 

[threedee]

As i was saying, "MIT/Adv V Settings" only shows DRAM voltage control. One, single one, nothing else is there...
Logically it should be in this page, yes, but its just not there...

Went though whole bios, page by page, found nothing that resembles vcore control...

try switching from 3d mode to old style bios,and to undervolt the cpu set cpu voltage to normal in cpu voltage list and it unlocks dvid for adjustment then set to -0.0xxxxx amount you want to undervolt cpu by

 

[stulid]

A random thing to try is a clear CMOS (power OFF at wall, pull the battery for a bit)

 

[threedee]

I've cleared the bios once, even reflashed to newer version, that didnt help.

@Wazza3000: thats the thing - THERE IS NO SUCH THING, 3d or not...
The only thing related to cpu power is OVERVOLTAGE option, which can be AUTO, ENABLED or DISABLED. Thats it. And it doesnt change anything in regards of vcore/dvid...

post some pics??

Your motherboard...




The std board without the "M" variation...



result = Neutered.

 

[wazza300]

if thats the case you might be able to reduce cpu voltage through windows and easytune? make a profile

 

[threedee]

Correct. Thats how it looks on mine... And i thought that M in this case stands for MicroATX... FML...

EDIT1 - Easytune also DRAM only voltage control...

 

[wazza300]

i guess the M means spend M ore M oney to get the M ore bios features?

What you should do is to always download the manual for the board before you buy it, as the above screen grabs were taken from them. It does give you an idea of what could be missing from the board, if that is important to you.

 

[wazza300]

try easytune,that should work,its a bit mean of gigabyte to skimp on bios options,normally you can clock every board,could on h55 matx boards

heres f11 beta bios for that board,idk whether that brings more options?

Where'd you get this ? Official GA site carries up to F9 only. ??? Beta of some sort ? Different region ?

tweaktown,thanks to Stasio!!!

beta means testing but they are 100% safe to use,ive been using them on gigabyte since x58

 

[threedee]

Getting it, will report right back...

 

[wazza300]

if no joy you can always flash back

 

[threedee]

Oh ffs, now neither of my USB sticks work... Qflash does not recognize them...

 

[wazza300]

try usb2 or 3 slots one or the other,can use @BIOS if you get stuck to flash back

press alt and f12 at splash screen to flash main with back up bios

 

[threedee]

Flashed f11. Nope, no change.
Still no vcore.

 

[wazza300]

have you flashed back to your previous bios? sorry bout you losing your memory sticks,it was worth a try i guess
