Hey peeps,
Not looking to reopen the old "it's stable except Prime crashes" (because Prime has proven that a number can get calculated wrong and therefore something else will eventually throw an error up too).
But the thing is, I've been gaming all day at ~1.29-1.31v without a wobble, and for all I know it will go lower yet and still be "game stable". But non-AVX Prime fails if vcore is below 1.334. Which is still fine for 5ghz I guess, and it's running in offset mode so it gets nice and low at idle. No complaints, really
But my question to the experts; is there anything besides vcore that influences Prime and might be a better place to tweak? I'm slightly suspicious of the memory, which is running XMP at 3200 C14, and is 16gb per stick and therefore dual ranked and relatively hard work for the memory controller. Currently at 1.35V.
I'm probably quibbling about a voltage tweak that's only worth a couple of degrees C, if that, but I'd be interested to know if there's anything I can use to keep vcore down, if only for academic reasons
