Voltage question

[Pugsport]

well im after some advice as to if its normal for the idle v core to be higher than when its under load

ive not noticed this before but since i have put the motherboard settings back to stock (so cpu is now running 3.3GHz again) i have since noticed while checking the temps that the v core on idle is higher than when its under load

cpu is a intel i5 2500k

v core at idle: - 1.236v
v core under load: - 1.164 to 1.176v

IIRC that's what LLC does...

its called vdroop or llc (its most noticable when you have fixed voltage) where the vcore is higher at idle than load

but when you put the bios settings back to deafult, when the cpu usage in like 20% usage or below, the speedstep should throttle the cpu down and lower the votage below 1v

I have a voltage question too, is there some program to auto drop vcore when idle?
My cpu always working in max value (1,37V)...

if you enable speedstep in bios for intel processors, or cool n' quiet for amd cpus, your frequency and voltages should scale back when the cpu usage gets low.

Unfortunately cool n' quiet does not work on 960T.

I use to use K10stat, but I have to run it every time.

ahh yes now i remember seeing/reading about that a while ago, although thats the first time id seen it happening but thanks for the info people

feel a little stupid i did not remember about it tho

do you know by any chance if this is called/classes as Multi-steps Load-Line on gigabyte motherboards as its the only thing i could see

load line calibration has nothing to do with cool'n'quiet or speedstep

ahh ok ill have to look see if i can find speedstep in the bios

it should be enabled by default in bios on almost all motherboards (exeptions being some server motherboards). so either you disabled it in bios or its disabled in the windows registry

also some motherboards disable speedstep automatically when overclocking, so check for that

ok im not sure why it was not working but it seems to be working now for some reason

voltage at idle: - 0.972v
voltage under load: - 1.224v which seems high
