Hello! Hope you had a good weekend.
First of all my setup:
FX 8320 4.4 Ghz 1.32v (stock?) /w Zalman Performa CNS5PX 92mm cooler.
Gigabyte 990fx-a UD3 Revision 4
850w Corsair TX850m
Crossfire R9 280x @ 1020/1500
I have disabled turbo and all power settings, my LLC is set to standard. Full load temps does not exceed 53c.
Anyway, under load like Prime95 and IBT the voltage drops like a rock all the way to 1.26v, but the weird thing is the cpu cores stay at a consistent 4.4 Ghz and the IBT test still passes under high stress while at 1.26v @ 4.4 Ghz. WTF? Is something wrong here? There's no way it's stable at such a low voltage. However, IBT shows success...
Should I just ignore it? Adjust LLC? I have a bronze rated PSU and not sure if I want to add more load to it considering I am nearing the 850w limit.
Any help appreciated, thanks!
TLDR; Frequency staying at 4.4Ghz. Vdroop dropping to 1.26-1.28 under heavy load and @ 4.4Ghz but still runs stable through IBT, Prime95, and gaming.... 1.26v. For 4.4 Ghz. Huh???
