he's asking how does he enable offset voltages.

Until U set a certain setting in the power section to manual then the option of offset CPU voltage will not show up on me phone so can't tell U exactly I'll edit when I get home

edit- your manual's not very helpful at all

so some one with your boards going to have to help u out I've not used an msi board for yonks

My msi mpower z77 does not have offset, think what your after is to basically have your vcore set to auto, then i use vdroop offset control to lower the voltage. But i have i voltage hungry chip so the vdroop is often set too 100%
 
ok cool thanks my lads computer has same chip as i5 3570k but every time I change the offset from auto to say 0.005 and save it reboots but the settings wont save ?
 
You want it to be manual voltage, up the MHz until it's unstable, then up the volts til stable, up the MHz til unstable, etc... Theres plenty of tutorials around. Then once you've found your stable desired overclock, switch to offset and hit around the same voltage as manual - Job done !
 
Look at some of the threads in the 8 pack section.

P. S are you a girlfriend overclocking your bfs pc? I need you. Hahaha.. Good luck!

Quick question - I purposefully left my CPU on for hours doing nothing, in a room with an ambient of 16'C. It idled at 24'C minimum. Am I safe in assuming that I need to get a new waterblock? The one I'm using didn't come with a LGA 2011 backplate, so I'm having to make do without. Maybe it's not making a proper connection.

Well it is getting power while switched on, if you want it to sit at 16c, turn it off:D

Idle temps don't really matter. They aren't out of the ordinary put it that way. What's your temps and volts while under full load?

I'm @ v1.296 - v1.305, 4.5GHz 3570k, gaming temps I hit 55-62, prime I hit 65-72.
 
I ran prime95 over night and it was fine, but I kept on getting crashes in games which shows prime95's is pretty useless.
I checked windows 7's event viewer and was getting WHEA-logger event 19 warnings which has something to do with the CPU. I simply upped the voltage of my CPU and haven't had a single problem since.

Check event viewer for WHEA-logger event 19 if you're getting those then your cpu isn't stable.
