Currently running a prime test, temps seem around 8c lower 2 minutes in to test

Although currently on max of 57-58-58-56 not sure there's much difference here between this and the old one

Looking good.

What were the Window idle temps, Quickdraw?

NathanL · 8 Jul 2017 at 11:55

They were 30-33

Idle temps are fine - meaningless to a point if not high.

The true test will be when we add 1.3V to the vCore.

In for a penny etc...

Go to BIOS - bump the vCore to 1.3V and the multiplier to 40.

Run 5 minutes of blend - and hope...

Report back temps - we won't be using prime for stability this time if your temps are OK - as your CPU runs hot and Prime synthetically crucifys it and no game/app would do that.

Just those two settings yes??

Yes, same as before.

Erm, I clicked on the oc tuner, it turned off and is not just off on off on

NathanL · 8 Jul 2017 at 12:07

Won't even get to bios

Check all your connections.

Did you remove your GFX card when installing?

NathanL · 8 Jul 2017 at 12:10

NathanL · 8 Jul 2017 at 12:12

Okay it crashed again but I'm in bios

Plec · 8 Jul 2017 at 12:12

Nathan Long said:
Nope

Check fan header and all connections to motherboard.

Nathan Long said:

Shouldn't be crashing.

Check temps - make a note. Then clear the CMOS but not yet - give me 5 minutes...

NathanL · 8 Jul 2017 at 12:13

Ah I see, what I accidentally did was click the automatic oc button rather than manual

NathanL · 8 Jul 2017 at 12:15

So I clicked the button which says 'Oc tuner automatically overclocks the cpu and dram frequency and voltage for an enhanced system performance, and accelerates iGPU performance to the extremes according to the integrated graphics losing.'

Silly me!

I'm not sure - you're very gifted at making the relatively simple seem incredibly scary at my end.

But Kudos for admitting what you did - some people would have hidden the fact and i would have been really confused and unsure what to do next...

NathanL · 8 Jul 2017 at 12:25

Okay, let's do this correctly and read this time! I'm changing cpu voltage from offset mode to manual mode and inputting 1.3

I am then changing by all multiplier to 40, now let me just remember where that setting is :confused:

NathanL · 8 Jul 2017 at 12:32

Remind me, is that the by all cores? To 40??

Plec · 8 Jul 2017 at 12:32

We're changing the vCore voltage (not the offset) and the multiplier.

Nathan Long said:

Yes.

NathanL · 8 Jul 2017 at 12:33

The cpu voltage is currently set to offset mode is what I mean, am I changing. That to manual move and putting 1.3v?

Plec · 8 Jul 2017 at 12:37

Set turbo Ratio to - all cores

Then the 'By all cores' - set to 40

Enable PLL overvoltage

Scroll down to CPU power management

Set CPU voltage to 1.3V (manual mode or similar)

Save and exit.
