Hi all,

Today, I decided to play with some options in my BIOS more so than previously before. I wanted to try out the integrated graphics for whatever reason and see how far they would OC and how they performed in general. After doing that for a while, I began using my 6950 again, and decided to really get into the other CPU voltages to see if I could maybe go for 4.6 again, but before that, I wanted to see if I could get to 2133 MHz on the memory because I have 8GB G.Skill 2133 CAS 11 1.5v memory, and the system would crash at those settings (previously, I only adjusted vcore). After doing that run and going back to my previous settings (1866 CL10, 4.5GHz 1.28v LLC = 1) and auto for any voltage other than VCORE.

What I was using before (got like 115 GFLOPS using 6000MB RAM in IBT 2.52):
45*100
1.28v LLC = 1
DDR3 1866 10-10-10-28 (1.530v)
Auto: VCCSA (0.925) VTT (1.05?) PLL (1.840) and no PLL overvolt

What I used for like less than 1h that seems to have fucked my CPU:
45*100
1.28 LLC=1
DDR3 2133 11-11-11-30 (1.55-1.57v)
Manual: VCCSA (1 notch increase to 1.012 or w/e) VTT (1.129 max) PLL (1.852)

I returned to the top settings and now my CPU won't pull over 100w (normally 130-140w) and runs shitty in IBT, unless I give it like 1.32 vcore, and even then I can't get the numbers I was pulling all last week. At 1866 CL10 I get 90-100 GFLOPS if I'm lucky, and 1600 CL9 completely dropped to 60 GFLOPS (my CPU at STOCK got 85 w/ DDR3 1600). I tried clearing my UEFI a few times, tried the presets that used to work fine, no dice. Is my CPU fucked? I read some guides and apparently VCCSA is supposed to be left untouched (I only increased it one notch and then returned to stock) VTT is alright between 1.1-1.2 and I only increased PLL voltage by one notch, so what's the deal? :cry:


EDIT (45min later): I think I may have resolved it. Yet another UEFI bug I guess. :(
