Has Anyone Mastered Offset Overclocking

What do you want to know? It's the same as any other overclock, other than instead of selecting manual voltage, you select an offset based on the vcore requirement of your chip for a given speed. If you already know what voltage you need for 4.8, then all you need to do is to convert that into an offset and run it.
 
The main goal would be to reduce idle cpu v core.

these cpus throttle down monstrously at idle however the volts appear to remain constant.
I thought the idea of offset was to have a similar effect - only increasing when needed.

is that what it is supposed to do?
 
Have you set the vcore to manual. If yes then thats your problem, speed stepping or which ever one it is can not adjust your vcore. If you have set it to manual.

Yep ...

As above

Vcore - Auto
Then set your appropriate Offset +x
C1E enabled etc

But does it work ? Yes and no - for me it works but the +offset at idle is still too high - It should really be dynamic not linear
 
so if i set the Vcore to auto

But set the offset to 1.43 which is what it takes to be stable at 4.8 then that will work??

I thought the offset had to be a number to offset from something, but I dont know that that something is to start with

explained something = example 1volt.
therefore my offset would need to be + 0.43

But i dont know what the something is i.e. starting voltage??
 
Think of it as

AUTO Vcore + offset

Use a new BIOS profile
Go to stock and start overclocking again from scratch but this time using
Vcore : Auto
Offset : +0.1V

Increase your offset as you crank up your overclock
 
when you run prime with the vcore on auto I am pretty sure it boosts up very high 1.5's which is a worry to me!

I will have a play and see what happens

Yep but I think you're wasting your time - as I've said previously v offset is linear which is really stupid.

whereas

Voltage vs Overclock required is not a linear equation, it's more like exponential so at best you'll get some vcore relief at idle but no where near the levels of a stock cpu

Hi Guys

Out of curiosity has anyone mastered Offset overclocking with a P67 setup??

Are there any links to any information / guides like what ASus have done here??

Thanks very much

Refer to my thread mate, I had some issues with Offset voltage. The main thing I discovered is leave C3 and C6 states on Auto. I will post my BIOS settings if you want? Currently at 4.6GHz:

Reading this thread and I'm very confused. an someone please explain to me what offset overclocking is in lame man terms? :D
