Hey everybody,

I am curious as to what would make my voltage fluctuate from 1.25 to 1.3?

MB is an Asrock 970 Extreme 4.

I have the OC in BIOS on manual and the voltage set at 1.3

The LLC is set to ½ per the board instructions for the AM3+ chips on OC.

The chip will run at 1.25 or so running OCCT and sometimes it will be at 1.3 idle, sometimes 1.3 in OCCT.

It's like a load or idle doesn't seem to matter?

TIA for any and all input :toast:

thats not too bad.
make sure c n q is disabled.
maybe your power supply isnt that good?

the 970 extreme 4 isnt a high end board, so there will be some fluctuation.

my 990fx extreme 4 is very rock solid, but my GS600 is known for epic 12V regulation too

Any way to keep the Vdroop in check?

This is normal. There will always be vdroop, up the LLC if your board has it but don't worry about it.
