I'm familiar with overclocking my ASUS board but I don't have any experience with MSI's settings. I overclocked my friends computer and the values are listed below in the images.

My main question/concern is about what HWinfo is showing the Ring Voltage @ 1.8xx. It has to be an error... the bios shows it around 1.3xx and that is what the value was at stock. Is there something I'm missing, there's no way it can be that high, right? It's currently set to Auto.

My other question is in regards to MSI's settings for CPU Voltage mode (Auto, Adaptive, Adaptive+offset, etc.) On my ASUS board, I have the core voltage set to Adaptive and then I set the "turbo cpu voltage" to the value that I want (example 1.275). Should I leave this MSI setting to "auto"? It seems to be doing what we want with scaling back the voltage...

Thanks in advance for the help - my main concern is the CPU ring voltage reading on HWinfo. Everything else is stable in Intel Burn and temps/voltages are acceptable I believe for what we want.

I appreciate the time you took to write that response, but unfortunately it doesn't answer my questions.

My main concern is the Vring/cache voltage and how high it is on stock and the reading in HWinfo.

Thanks

Thanks for the help. I noticed I made the mistake thinking VCCRing was VRING. Yeah, I have no problem with the 1.8xx value now because I have mine at 1.9 as well.

I will play around with it more, but I'm glad his cache voltage isn't actually going up that high - my mistake

Couple questions yet....

I know I have things set to "auto" but I manually put in the voltages that I want. I know that it still goes beyond those voltages but I am ok with that, because it's nowhere near temp or volt limits (68deg and <1.3vcore.

I guess what I'm struggling the most with in my mind is setting it to manual and leaving at that voltage 24/7. Then the volts never dial down like I currently have on adaptive/auto? I could be completely wrong, that is why I'm asking. In my head, 1.27volts(pick a number) manually at 24/7 is worse off than adaptive and spiking to 1.29volts once in a while. Because I'm nowhere near bad temps...

Again, I could be completely wrong, that's why I'm asking.

If there was a way to have voltage set to manual, while still scaling back down when not under use, I'd be doing it in a second. But my understanding is there isn't?
