Increasing VCore Voltage?

[hangar34]

Hi,

I have been having some problems with BSoD's on a system I took delivery of in March. I have already raised a WebNote with technical support regarding the issue and they have helpfully made some suggestions regarding further testing which I have provided responses for. However, as it is a bank holiday weekend I appreciate that the support department won't be able to help me until Tuesday. So, I am hoping someone may see this post over the weekend and offer some assistance.

The current state of my testing is a follows:

- I have run Memtest86 for 7 hours overnight - All tests passed, no errors.
- I have run Prime95 stress testing for 2 hours - No errors, no BSoD.
- I have run 'Heaven' GPU stress test - No errors. no BSoD.

Further investigation of my system's MEMORY.DMP file has shown an error caused by 'GeunineIntel' - WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (124). Research has shown that this is commonly caused by overclocking, particularly a vcore voltage that is too low.

My question is this...

Please can you suggest a vcore voltage that is an increase from what may be set already that is safe to use with my CPU?

I have a 'Titan Dagger' system, based on a Intel G3258 Anniversary Edition CPU.

Any help offered is appreciated as I would like to try an stablise the CPU for some gaming over this weekend.

Many thanks,

Steve

Thanks for the replies 8 Pack/Rroff... especially on a Sunday

The system has the standard 8GB RAM.

I will raise the Vcore to 1.27 (it is currently 1.25) and set the IOA/IOD to 1.1 as you suggest and then use the system as normal. I'll post back with results.

Thanks for the help,

Steve

Right, I have changed the Vcore Override setting to 1.270.

Not sure what the VCCSA is, but the only references I could see in the BIOS to IOA/IOD and System Agent were Offset values, with a Min -1.000v and Max 1.000v, so I haven't set these to 1.1v as suggested. They are all currently set to Auto.

Does that sound right?

Ok great, I'll take a look at that, thanks Rroff.

I just wanted to thank you again for your help and suggested settings. Since implementing your suggested values, the PC has been rock solid with no further BSoD's.

Great stuff guys, cheers!
