I3570k voltage not stepping down

[Genesius]

Ive recently started a thread on VTT and PLL and it went off into other areas so i thought that id start a seperate thread about this new issue.

im running at 4.7 with 1.255v
Any idea why my Vcore isnt dropping when the cpu is idling at 1600? it just stays at 1.255? I thought it would drop back as i have all the energy saving stuff (technical) on.

ive overclocked using the Turbo function and its 100% stable
40 passes on IBT Very hight
OCCT for 12 hours
Prime blend for 24 hours
Prime small packet for 24 hours

Temperatures not stay around 70 with my new fans and controller.

the multiplier drops back but for some reason the vCore just stays the same. ive included bios pictures because i dont know why its not dropping down

Because you are running it with fixed vcore, you need to do offset overlocking if you want the voltages to drop

This ^

For me though, I needed far more volts to get stable on offset, so it wasn't really worth it for me.

As long as your volts are low enough (under 1.35v) then it shouldn't really be a problem just to leave it at that. 1.35 I'm saying as a maximum btw... Mine runs at 1.205v for comparison.

Just adjust for temps really

As above, also, 4.7 at 1.255? :O That is incredible dude, try see what you need for 5 I envy your chip xD I need 1.35 just for 4.6

Thanks for the info everyone - can anyone see what option is for the ofset voltage in my bios pics? Also, what voltage would you recommend setting the offest to?

@Seumasbeathan - yeah its a good chip. I can push it to 5.1 but i havent worked out the exact stable voltage yet as im working on improving my cooling. I think 5ghz is about 1.38v but at that clock the temps rocket to over 90 pretty quickly.

Im waiting on the Aquaero 5 LT to arrive. Then i can push my fans hard and try and get the temps stable. I think what i have now is a good 24/7 overclock but id love to get 5 or over stable and go as high as i can just to see how far this chip will go. Im not willing to go over 95 degrees though, but im sure if i every upgrade to a 'proper' watercooling set up instead of the H100 then i could get over 5.

It's called DVID or dynamic voltage or something along those lines on Gigabyte boards.

We can't say at all what to put the offsets to. It will depend on your system. Go for whatever you're stable with, LLC to one of the highest 3 levels, then adjust the offset to what gets you stable at load.

ok, so tell me if this is wrong.

I find the normal vcore setting at default clocks and i subtract that from my 4.7ghz stable vcore, and enter the difference as the DVID?

Stable Vcore - standard vcore = DVID?

BUT.... If thats correct, is it the standard vcore at 1600mhz or the standard vcore at standard turbo settings i use?

im begining to think that using DVID is going to cause stablility issues. Im very new to this so maybe its too much to learn so quickly.

Your thoughts please.
