Voltage

[arc@css]

Hey,

After changing the voltage to 'manual' in the bios am I right in saying that its the vdimm and vcore that you increase by 0.5 increments. I'm assuming that the reason I struggle to get a stable overclock past 3.0ghz is because there is not enough voltage. Haven't yet tried upping the voltage. Hope I don't hear a pop.

Cheers.

Thanks valdai. I'll give it a go, bricking it tbh.

lol Wayne.

Just checked my Vcore and before I even attempted to increase it further past 3.0 it is reading 1.556. That seems high to me. Is that reading telling me not to bother?

Are you overclocking with the vCore on [Auto]?

I think so yes. Atm I am gaming so I'll check later and report back.

Under 'PC health status' in the bios the cpu Vcore is about 1.32 yet in 'Intelligent Tweaker' it reads 'Normal CPU Vcore' 1.556 .
(system voltage control = auto)

edit : Mobo advice booklet reads that system voltage control, at default, is set to manual. Thing is it isn't, its always on auto unless you change it of course.

Of course, this also means that I can't get the most out of my ram.

Appreciate the helpful comments chaps but on reflection I think I'd better get a mate round. All mobo bios are different and what I really need is a basic beginners guide, better to have someone there to answer questions as I go through it. Thanks for the responses though.
