CPU: i7-3770k
Motherboard: Z77 Sabertooth
CPU Voltage: 1.125
CPU Bus Speed/Multiplier: 100*45
Clock Speed: 4.5Ghz
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16gb DDR3-1600mhz 9-9-9-24
Cooling: H100i
OS:Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
I been testing around with my new setup the past few days to lower the temp. When i started of, i had the cpu voltage at auto wich cause it to go up to 1.3-1.35 volts under full load.
After i noticed that on cpu-z i started to lower it manually towards around 1.25 with the loadline on auto wich kept it pretty much near those settings. Figured from pretty much all guides, and info ive been reading i should start at 1.25V for the cpu. And increase if needed.
Now instead of having to go up i just kept going down. And seems to be running prime95 for the past 2 hours steady at the voltage i set in the link at the start of this post. This is a manual 1.125 volt with no offset drop. Loadlines set at Auto.
Now heres the Actual question How is this possible? Or why is it suggested to start at 1.25 volts for that specific cpu.
Toodles, Mushra
