BSOD/Motherboard Issues - Page 2

Last message on previous page:
What you are seeing is called 'vDroop': the real-time response of the on-board voltage regulation mechanisms adjusting to varying processor loading; on some northbridge/CPU combinations, this will be improved (become more stable - closer to 'nominal') with the "Loadline Calibration" item on the "MB Intelligent Tweaker(M.I.T.)" page of the BIOS set to "Enabled"; for mine (X48/Q9550) it doesn't work worth a damn, and actually seems to aggravate the problem...

Fairly comprehensive article here:

This is interesting, so does this come standard on all CPU/Mobo's now? I wasn't aware this existed, Although I knew that there was something that lowered clock speed, I didn't realize it was actual voltage. Should "Loadline Calibration" be turned on? Or if I'm not really having any issues, just leave it alone? It seems harmless if everything is going alright, I just didn't know how to get my CPU at stock voltage because I don't know exactly what the numbers were supposed too be. Was worried that I changed something I forgot to change back ha

This particular voltage drop is not intentional - it's a screw up of the voltage regulation scheme; in Intel BIOS, the "CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E)", "C2/C2E State Support", "C4/C4E State Support", and "CPU EIST Function" items on the "Advanced BIOS Features" page of the BIOS engage the intentional, energy-saving undervolt/underclock features; on AMDs it's Cool 'n Quiet; that's why these functions need to all be disabled for overclocking, so your frequencies don't 'wander around' while you're trying to optimize them...

That's exactly why I stressed the use of the <F11> "Save CMOS to BIOS" function when making changes...

Your CPU's default voltage is 1.325V

Umm - I'm confused - what happens? Do you mean the voltage being a bit off, the MOBO going back to 'power saving' mode, or what?
