960T help.. I'm Super Confused

[austinwillie_95]

Alright guys so be ready to read a butt load of MB settings. So my problem is my Vcore, what ever i set it at in BIOS it never corresponds to the reading the bios H/W Monitor shows me for instance when i set the Vcore to 1.3 H/W monitor says 1.368 and when i set it at 1.3625 i get 1.432. so then i set it at 1.25 and i got 1.312 to see if that would make it go lover that 1.36. So my question is what the hell is going on?? and what do i need to do to stop it so i can OC my cpu? now for the MB settings here is everything i thought might be of relevance to overclocking, let me know if there is anything else you need to know.

OC Mode: Manuel
Spread Spectrum: Disabled
Asrock UCC: Enabled ( have it at 6 cores during this)
CPU Active Core Control: Disabled
AMD Turbo Core Technology: Disabled
AMD IO C-State Support: Enabled

so right now i set the voltage back to auto but these were the settings when is was in manuel

CPU Frequency Multiplier: x15 3000MHz
CPU Voltage:1.3= 1.3625, 1.625=1.432 in H/W monitor
NB Frequency Multiplier: x10 2000MHz
HT Bus Speed: Auto
HT Bus Width: 16 Bit
CPU Load-Line Calibration: Disabled
DRAM Voltage: Auto (using 1.5v ram http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231311)
NB Voltage: Auto
HT Voltage: Auto
CPU VDDA Voltage: Auto
PCIE VDDA Voltage: Auto

Cool' n' Quiet: Disabled
Secure Virtual Machine: Enabled
Enhanced Halt State (C1E): Disabled
CPU Thermal Throttle: Disabled

oh and did i mention I'm using a 960T with a Asrock 970 Extreme 3 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157280 . so if you have any advice for me please speak up as you most likely have more experience with this than me.

Don't know why i didn't think of this earlier but would just setting to vcore a lot lower like i said i did work? or would it cause stability issues?

 

[austinwillie_95]

so i changed my vcore to 1.225 said 1.2-1.30 in H/W monitor and no boot so i upped it to 1.25 and what do you know it booted H/W monitor says 1.304-1.312. so i know i should see if its stable at this voltage but what should i use? Prime95?

 

[grahamie]

yes id use prime 95 for atleast 2 hours just keep a close eye on your temps

Enable CPU LLC to Auto..It'll keep your voltage more in your parameters...Never put your voltage over 1.55v ever

oh sorry i meant 1.25. guess i should proof read

 

[lowjack989]

Mostly all boards will vary the voltage somewhat from BIOS to actual while in the OS enviroment as the voltage is dynamic i.e. fluctuates slightly when performing processes
