Is vcore voltage fluctuation normal ??

I have my vcore voltage set at 1.325 but it fluctuates between 1.320 - 1.344

yes,it goes to 1.344v due to loadline calibration,it bumps cpu v slightly to counter vdroop (cpu voltage drops slightly if under load)

Thanks.

it goes upto 1.368 now is this still ok ??

what level llc vcore loadline calibration are you using? try low or medium can set a lower cpu voltage also

2013 · 27 May 2014 at 00:53

im using 1.33 now

Can you be a bit clearer i dont know much on the tech side,

in the bios it should say vcore loadline calibration,its probably on auto and applying too much voltage,so try manually setting it to low or medium

ok thanks

Ive just had a look at the back end still cant understand it

this is what the bios is like

the only thing i have changed is cpu manual voltage its set at 1.33

It's probably listed as 'CPU Load Line Calibration'.

ok ill check it out later when i get home.

2013 · 27 May 2014 at 22:11

I tried that but windows crashed

wazza300 · 27 May 2014 at 22:16

probably too low then,you tried medium? next up is high llc

2013 · 27 May 2014 at 22:20

yes medium is the first one i tried, is it ok if i leave it at auto the voltage only goes up much when it get stressed with prime or would it be best to set it manually.

yh if you want,its only if it overvolts a lot,using a lower cpu v might help lower things aswell
