Title: Cpu voltage goes up in huge numbers?
Post by: Rwar on April 27, 2010, 02:23:33 pm

Really didnt want to do this but had no luck finding anything, anywere. So here goes. Brought p55a ud3 + i5 750 etc etc. Thought id do a small oc, but the problem is the cpu core*, it seems to only go up at 5+ not .5 or .005 the next voltage up from the 1.25~ is 1.75~. So either im hitting the wrong cpu core or well idk what else. Anyone else notice anything like this?

Cheers have a good day.

* at this point heat is a factor but untill i know i have control over the voltage id rather not waste money on a decent hsf

ps I know you can do this auto but it generally juices it abit over the top and id rather not do that, also as you can guess at 1.75 = instant shut down, clear cmos etc.

Suret thats definatly the CPU voltage? Not the .pll or reference voltage?

100% sure thats the cpu voltage, just noticed a dynamic vcore but that seemed to not change the voltage at all. Id post a photo but its 2am here and no idea were a camera is atm.

Is it definatly CPU Vcore you're changing? Have you tried updating to latest BIOS?

Once gain it is the cpu vcore, just flashed to ver6 from ver 5, nothing. There is v8 beta but dont really want to try beta.
