I tried to OC when I first got my rig but I couldnt figure out how to lower the Vcore... it would say auto and would only go up... But im trying it again.
Here is the safe settings, normally multiplier would be set to 21:
When I tried to OC I set the cpu freq to 180 and lower multiplier to 20 to get 3.6ghz... but when I check it using cpu-z program the voltages are around 1.4 which is much higher than it should be. Most OC the i5 760 to 3.6ghz under 1.20v but im not sure how to lower it in my bios...
here is the image of the voltages, they are set to auto and Im not sure how to lower them. When I try to change the cpu voltage I can only go up by increments of +0.025 or something like that so Im confused how to get 1.2v on my motherboard...
Can anyone help? It would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
Edit:
I guessed the cpu voltage was set to a stock voltage and you could only increase it, there was no option for +0.000 only +0.002.
I set the cpu voltage to +0.002, set my vtt to 1.19v and cpu PLL to 1.81 with cpu freq 3.4ghz (170 x 20). During idle cpu-z would show the cpu voltage to be 1.2v but when I ran prime95 for stability it was 1.14v... it was stable for 15mins of testing but got up to 85C at one point.
I turned off all the powersaving options so idk why the voltages are fluctuating. I tried other tweaking but same thing would happen and then it wouldn't be stable with prime95 testing.
I disabled everything on that menu during oc.
I'm just trying to find a optimum voltage to get me to 3.6ghz but the adjustment of the voltages in my specific bios. The voltage adjustment is confusing compared to other guides ive seen.
Thanks for any help.
