Hey all, I have a very serious problem that makes me afraid of turning on my pc.
Ive recently upgraded from the ASUS M5A97 r2.0 mobo to the Gigabyte GA-970-Gaming SLI mobo with no issues except that the stock voltage being supplied to my CPU is 1.456V as opposed to the recommended stock voltage of 1.3V.
I have not overclocked anything and made sure that the BIOS settings were on Optimised Defaults and I still get the reading from CPU-Z and Hardware Monitor that the above voltage is being given to my CPU and that after gaming for half an hour my CPU is climbing up to 72c and my motherboard up to 70c as well.
Now I should be able to simply go into the bios and manually set the voltage to stock that would be the end of my problems, right? Wrong!
I have the F1 version of gigabyte bios but the Vcore option doesnt let me type in whatever voltage I want, I have to use the PageUp PageDown technique and the options it give me is like "Auto" "Normal" "-0.800" "-0.775" etc. I have no Idea how to read or edit this and there arent any guides online.
Now, I havent turned on my PC since finding out that my motherboard does this out of fear that it will fry my cpu (Its no longer under warranty) and I need help guys. Theres got to be a way, Ive already sent a support ticket to Gigabyte about it and Im waiting for their reply too.
