What would be the proper vcore to set if I want to manually set it for a non-overclocked i7-3930k? The reason I ask is because the auto vcore on my motherboard causes the vcore to go up as CPU frequency and cores used goes up. With turbo enabled and C-states enabled the vcore depends on the CPU frequency and cores used which means that there not really a static vcore during load if the cores and frequency continuously change. For example during Prime 95 with all threads loaded with 6 cores active at 3.5GHz, the reportedvcore by CPU-z is 1.192v and with only 2 cores active and loaded at 3.8GHz it's around 1.238v and with only 1 core active and loaded at 3.8GHz it's around 1.232v. Should I just set the vcore to a value that will get me the same load voltage during Prime 95 when testing all cores which would be a manual 1.235v with LLC off? However, if I do it that way wouldn't I be undervolting my CPU for 1-2 cores loaded at 3.8GHz? I would need to set the vcore to 1.256v in the BIOS to get the 2 core 3.8GHz load vcore matched if I don't use LLC and it would end up giving my CPU little more vcore than I need for 6 cores at 3.5GHz loaded. What would be the best manual vcore to use if I want to have enough vcore to accommodate different stock turbo frequencies and varying cores used for my i7-3930k?
The reason why I want to use a manual vcore is because it's a workaround for squealing noises that my motherboard is making if I want to keep c-states enabled for full turbo functionality.
