Title: GA-890FXA-UD5 where is the voltage for CPU vcore?
Post by: kskwerl on August 24, 2010, 07:53:06 am

lol o man, I can't find CPU Vcore voltage. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

The only way I seem to be able to get the cpu voltage to wat i want is to set the CPU VID to what I want.

Could CPU PLL be putting a governor on the voltage?

Hi there,

The CPU Voltage Control should be under M.I.T. section of BIOS.

You will need to change System Voltage Control to Manual (default is Auto) and it should be the last changeable item in the list.

Thanks a lot man, I can't look right now cause I'm doing a 1.5TB backup thats taking forever. Dude I could sware thats not there tho. Is it possible that is a more updated BIOS would have that and mine wouldn't?

Yes, sometimes things like this get dropped from BIOS only to return in the next update.  I would be surprised if it is not there as the picture I uploaded was taken from the User's Manual but hey, copy & paste can cause all kinds of grief.

You don't say what version of BIOS you are running but I would hold off updating it unless it is really necessary.

I'm pretty sure it's revision 2.0 I'd have to look tho. Yea I'm super iffy on updating the BIOS, I had the UD7 and at the same time I had the UD5 in my possession and I updated the BIOS on the UD7 and it wouldn't boot so now I have a UD7 just sitting in my living room.

Yes, I've noticed there have been a few issues recently with updating BIOS on these newer boards and I am looking in to it, that's why I suggested you hold off for the moment.

I'm also trying to find out if there is a way of recovering boards that have failed when updating BIOS so, if I'm lucky you might be able to retrieve your UD7 too, but no promises.

sorry for getting in the way



but as a owner of the UD5 all the problems were started by updating to f4


don't know if there is someone with problems but different bios revision other than F4
