Z68XP UD3 - High [Auto] VID on 2500K
« on: December 16, 2013, 09:34:11 am »
Had F10 bios, all ok, VID detected ~1.26, relatively high but reasonable.

Checked out UEFI beta bios (U1J) - there were missing features - reverted to F10 bios with program provided by gigabyte support.

After reversion, all stock (or "Default/Auto - [All] is set on multis, goes to 37x on all 4 Cores by the board automatically) VID detected jumped to 1.36 which is huge. Now I am forced to run with VID setting Normal -1.0V to reach a reasonable Vcore on load. The problem is that when idling using these settings, my Vcore drops around 0.9V which is dangerously low.

Is there anyway to "force" the motherboard to recheck the VID without flashing the bios again? Does a bios reset accomplish that?

(By the way, my CPU can pass torture tests at 4GHz @ 1.12V, just for reference)
