help with offset mode on gigabyte mobo

just tried auto vcore with 44 multi and it would not boot until i set my ram at 1333.got into windows buit as soon as i ran prime it bsod with 101 code
 
To get your VID load up windows with your manual set speed and open up vcore and it tells you there. You get voltage load up cpuz and it tells you there. Find the difference in the middle and put that as offset. easy.
 
Can you only set normal and auto? What about manually setting a certain voltage?

If normal is setting the vcore to 1.37, I'd try setting dvid to -0.02v which should take it down to 1.35 and then set the multi to 44 or 45. See how you get on with that.
 
done that.it looks like normal sets it to 1.37 and vcore is showing 1.368 which if i'm right would suggest that setting -0.020 would be spot on? but it won't boot. i can get stable at 4.4 with manual vcore set at 1.36
 
hahaha, well if manual voltage needs 1.36v to boot and on normal it is 1.368, it's pretty much spot on, so dont worry about it :D
 
You may just be unlucky with your chip, some people are (as leeroy can testify). Some people get lucky like me, currently testing sub 1.35v on 4.9ghz.

There doesn't appear to be that many options in the bios in comparison to the asus and asrock boards. One thing that has stood out to me is right up at the top it says 'Multi Steps Load Line *7*' Could this be the same as LLC on asus boards? If so is this changable? as I know LLC has a serious effect on overclocks and vcore on asus/asrock boards.

Have a sift through this and see what you get, just the first GBP67 OC guide I found: http://www.scribd.com/doc/46598840/Gigabyte-Sandy-Bridge-Overclocking-Guide
 
this is my second chip,the last one needed more volts than this one.load line calculation is the same as asus LLC controlling vdroop.i really want to get this offset working so i can maybe shave a little of my volts.so,with 4.4 with volts set manual at 1.355 i'm getting idle volts in cpuz of 1.0007 and load volts at 1.368.when vcore is set in bios to normal or auto it sets it to 1.370.but in bios i can't set the normal volts myself.all i can do is set an offset which i don't know what to set
 
absolutely ridiculous this.this bloody chip will boot with multi set at44 and vcore set manually at 1.355 but when i set it to normal in bios it shows volts under normal of 1.370.i've set the offset at 0.010 and gone up 0.010 each time .i got up to 0.090 and it still won't boot ,surely thats giving vcore of 1.46?
 
Yep you have the theory down correctly, it seems the board is the issue here now. It should work as you have well above the required voltage.

Although it seems if you set the volts manually and it still undervolts at idle, then surely you are in the same kind of position you have with offset enabled?
 
When you say you have an offset of 0.010 and changed in increments of 0.010 do you mean these are + figures? If your auto/normal voltage is 1.370 and you have been stable with 1.355 you would need to enter a - figure: -0.015 if it's available, or -0.010 is close enough.

I have my 2500k @ 4.4GHz... 1.300 was my lowest stable voltage so when I changed the vcore to normal (which the BIOS reported as 1.345) I entered an offset of -0.040 to bring it back down to what I had been running at previously.

Apologies if I am just repeating what others have said or my presumption about what you're doing is incorrect... this unbearable heat is limiting my mental capacity!
