Hello,

So i've got the Gigabyte G1 Sniper 3.
I'm trying to use dynamic vcore to overclock my cpu.

But no matter how high i seem to crank the dynamic vcore @4,6ghz the voltage refuses to go higher than 1.23
What do I need to change?

thanks
 
Is it not running stable at 4.6? If it is, why do you want more voltage?
 
With static vcore at the setting it is stable.
With Dynamic Vcore at the setting it is not, I need more.
 
Dynamic vcore i believe is for if you have turbo enabled for the cpu. You're setting that cpu beyond turbo settings which is static, so use static.

no?
I'd rather not keep pumping full voltage into the cpu 24/7

Well then you need to have oc profiles in the bios or run the cpu in turbo mode only.

I figured it out.
There was a 3rd voltage settings, once you go beyond the maximum settings on dynamic, you get to the real offset.
Gigabyte... Enter menus for selecting would have been alot easier -_-
 
1.23 is not much voltage at all to put through 24/7. It would be fine.

Electricity bill sucks here....
I do every little thing I can to keep it down.
 
If anyone has this issue and has the Gigabyte G1 Sniper 3, please be aware the Beta BIOS can be easily corrupted (the most recent available)
Stick with F7
 
yea cranking the dynamic voltage is a good way to smoke the proc
unless you are super careful it can quiet easily jump well over your set limits and do serious damage
above 1.20 dynamic voltage is no longer feasible
run static voltage,it won't increase power consumption by any real amount
power consumption scales with cpu-load not voltage
I run adaptive voltage here but I don't need more then 1.20v
