Z68ap-d3 bios revF2 vcore confusion?!

sehcure · 16 Jan 2012 at 22:12

I'm trying to set my vCore to 1.3 via the MIT in the BIOS, however instead of just having the value to set it at, this version of the bios has a plus and minus type deal.

Does this mean I set it as +0.300 to get it to add those point three volts, or what does it start at?!
Confused

I set it as +0.070 and HW Monitor is saying the CPU Vcore is 1.10 V (Min max and current voltages)

Voltage settings:

Load line calibration: enabled
Dynamic vCore: +0.070V
QPI/Vtt: 1.120v
Sys agent: 1.135
Cpu ppl: auto ( no idea what to set this too)

Trying to get a 4.5 overclock.

I don't use Ofset as I find it a pain in the arse to work with on the z68 gigabyte boards, just use load line...

Btw your QPI/VTT should be about 1.90-1.2v

CPU PLL - ENABLED IF 4.5GHZ+

Ah thank you.
And I think setting my HyperX 2*4GB ram to it's XMP of 1666mhz which is what it's rated at is slowing down my pci-e wireless N adaptor.
I've tried putting the RAM on XMP, boot up windows, speed drops to literally 1-2 mbps. Then as soon as I reset it to auto which puts it at 1333mhz, the speed is back up to 15-20 mbps.

Quite confused.

You could try putting it manually at 1666mhz and setting the performance rating as standard, though I don't know how much the bios differs from a xp ud3P

This board's bios are different to your's, there's no manual setting for vcore, you have to use dynamic vcore to increase\decrease vcore, also load line is different, on this board you have got auto/enabled/disable options and thats it, I believe on yours there is something like 1 to 10 setting? I suppose you buy a budget board you get budget Bio's
