Overclocked vcore reference?

Orion7 · Mar 26, 2016

Which vcore do you use as voltage reference when you overclocked your cpu? When somebody mentions 1.25v does it mean 1.25v under 100% full load or 1.25v without/light load like 25% or even 1.25v BIOS set voltage / VID? I believe there is no exact standard here. Mine's always vcore under 100% load as reference, but I'm not really sure if its golden standard.

Just keep an eye on the CPU temperatures.

i personally turn off LLC and variable frequency
when using custom voltage. so for me 1.25 = 1.25

i think its more connected to the cpu speed than the actual load..

if the chip is running at full speed the vcore showing should be the one you go buy.. it dosnt need full load for the chip to speed step up to maximum speed and maximum vcore..

for example running the heaven gpu benchmark my cpu only shows a 20% load.. it still at full speed and full vcore though..

i am only guessing here but i think something as low as a 10% cpu load will speed step up to max speed and max vcore.. it certainly dosnt need to be a %100 cpu load..

it was always 100% load volts that mattered in the past as vdrop and vdroop used to be a thing. these days you should tune your llc setting first so your full load volt is what you set in bios (or as close as) and then it matters not.

you can really abuse ivy with vcore tbh, you will run out of cooling before vcore gets too high. but the imc is very easy to damage if you aint careful.
