Vcore

[Banny]

Once you have reached a stable clock with OCCT or Prime can you then back the vcore off if you are only gaming, seeing as there is no way you would be 100% full load in games.
If so how much can you back off, to keep a stable gaming system.

Well maybe so, maybe not, but I need quite high volts in bios 1.44375 to run OCCT stable for the full hour, which equated to 1.36v underload because of Vdroop.
Last night I dropped the vcore in bios to 1.4250 (1.34v load) (OCCT 4m 17s) and fired up fear and it worked flawlessly for over 3 hours.
So its a tricky one as the rig seemed fine, so people should try it out as you might be putting more volts than you need for gaming.
I dont think gaming use 100% of all four cores all the time, as it is mostly GPU.
Its a risky one to try, but gaming is not that important to me, so if I have to restart a level so be it, well apart from online GTR2
