Why is my vdroop so bad?

[drew726]

I set it to 1.53V in bios and it still only gets 1.37 when i'm running prime95 with a 1055T. WTH is going on...Which vcore should I be using to determine if my voltage is too high? I don't want to set it at 1.53 all the time but the god damn thing on CPU-Z says it's at 1.37.

maybe that's the turbo vcore, try disable turbo?

Yeah sounds like it's setting turbo vcore in BIOS.

 

[drew726]

I can't find out where to disable it...

 

[drew726]

damnit so i updated my bios to 3107, i got it from some forum and it lets me disable turbo but now it keeps dropping my multiplier to 4x in windows. I have to use AMD overdrive to apply a different setting to each multiplier to fix it. When I try to "set all cores" it only sets the multiplier for the first core and leaves the rest at 4x. I'm so close to getting a new motherboard sigh.

Cool N' Quiet not disabled?

 

[drew726]

it is disabled

I'm at 3.8GHZ @1.42, 2.4ghz NB @1.3V. windows crashed as soon as i tried going to near 4.0. At 49/50C on load, but I hate having to use AOD to manually set the multipliers. It's okay since I rarely reboot but I hope they come out with a new bios soon. Are my temperatures okay to push a higher voltage?

 

[richierich1212]

sounds good for now

 

[drew726]

just running p95 now for the past hour no errors yet so i think i might be okay. My chipset temp is at 60C during the stress test so I think i'm going to just keep it at 3.8 and be happy with it heh.

 

[richierich1212]

Have you've tried lowering vcore one notch?

 

[drew726]

No, but I should try because what I did was that I was at 260FSB @1.41 and I tried booting at 280FSB without setting a higher voltage, but it wouldn't boot. So I put it at 1.42 and it would boot but would crash right after. I then lowered the FSB to 270 but never lowered my voltage. I guess I could try and lower my vcore but then I would have to do another stress test hehe
