Hi

I am trying to transfer my Overclock from the system app direct to BIOS so I dont have to reload them everytime I restart the system

Alienware Area51 R2

Currently have the setting below running rock solid (8+ Hours of Handbrake flat out and it tops at 70c)

4500 on all 6 Cores... App says CPU Voltage 1.250v But CPUID Reports 1.292v which i think is well within the limits of the CPU

Problem is I am completely stumped with transfering these setting to BIOS (Screen shots below)

If someone could point me to where and what I need to enter I would be most grateful..

The BIOS is MSI-based, just without the MSI name. So you could look up "MSI X99 bios settings" or similar, to get tips.

In any case, you can set:

CPU Core/Ring Voltage Mode: Adaptive
CPU Core Voltage: 1.292v

---

1-Core Ratio Limit: 45
2-Core Ratio Limit: 45
3-Core Ratio Limit: 45
4-Core Ratio Limit: 45
5-Core Ratio Limit: 45
6-Core Ratio Limit: 45


That might be enough to maintain the same OC.

If you want to also try increasing the Ring, then add a new Ring Ratio and add a voltage to CPU Ring Voltage.

Thanks I have tried the voltage and CPU at 45 but it just boots at stock speeds and ignores what has been entered

You need to look at the clocks (and voltage) when you put load on the CPU.

If you don't want it to dial down when more power is not needed, then set Fixed instead of Adaptive, and disable Speed Step.

Cheers Yes I understand that, I run it under load it overclocks fine on the alienware app but via BIOS it just runs at stock settings (or the preset OC1 or OC2 if selected)

For reference I have been clocking Intel CPUs since the 486DX2s so am up to speed on what to do its just this Alienware Mutilated MSI BIOS has me stumped
 
486 DX2 wow that's brought back memories! My first real upgrade from a 386 sx 40! Sorry not a helpful post but I never knew you oc them!
