How accurate is vcore in CPU-Z?

[cadaveca]

You run that clock and vcore 24/7 with no power saving?

No, I don't, and that's the thing. I often run normal clocks with turbo, and DES enabled, and sometimes I run just Turbo, with 4500, instead of 4600.

Can't make up my mind which to stick with.


You can also play with the PWM frequency options to see if that helps how much the vcore drops. I run +12%.

tbh I don't mind so much running a constant vcore as long as it's safe to do so, what I would like to do is maybe try and get the vcore lower overall though not sure what else to change in order to be able to if that makes sense as I know other voltages have a part to play, I just don't know what part they play and how to adjust them to compensate for the lower vcore, if that makes sense?

TOTALLY makes sense.

So, you're drooping a bit, right? try LLC5...does it still droop?

Increase VRM Frequency option, play with LLC level, find the best combo for steady voltage, and go for it.

the one thing I'll add is that it might make more sense for you to try turning PLL Overvoltage to disabled, unless required for that multi. This will help lower temps a little bit, and lessen the current load given to the CPU. It doesn't affect vcore that I have seen.

Also, 1866 memory multi seems best optimized for some reason on my board...2133 only gets about 2000mb extra, and that makes little difference for daily tasks. Running the lower ram multi might let you run lower VTT.

Of course, there's always the option of running stock.

Blasphemy!!

Well, when you say drooping, when I run LLC level 4 it actually drops from idle and seems stable, so what I would like is to be able to run a lower vcore though it doesn't seem to like anything lower even though at load it drops..... odd.

Forget my sig, I am running 1866 on the RAM.

I might have to live with the constant vcore if I want this 4.6ghz OC, of course 4.6 isn't needed but if it's stable and cool then why not.

I'm surprised you need so much PLL. I'm running my PLL at 1.65v with 4 sticks at 1866 cas9.
