2000+ palamino core voltage setting

trying to overclock 2000+ prossesor have gotten the system to boot at 1.89ghz then crashes loading programs. i have the core voltage set at 1.775(i think).what is the maximum safe voltage that i can push this processor to without meltdown? have thermalTake volcano 9+ running at maximum speed(what a brick) plus 11 case fans. thanks for any help in advance ?(

hi,
AMD has the datasheets for Athlon Model 6, 8, 10 available publicly from amd.com. You can download and inside should have the maximum voltage stated.

Z68A-G43 core voltage setting?

Hey everyone, I'm new to the boards and have just one question: Where is the optional to manually set the core voltage on this motherboard? I submitted a ticket asking the same, and support said I'd find it in the OC tab of the newest BIOS (4.1), but I'm still unable to locate it after updating it. Either it's not there, or I'm somehow missing it.
Any help would be much appreciated, and feel free to chastise me if the option is right in front of my face
As it stands my 2500k is at 4.0ghz but cpuz shows the volts at 1.336

After looking in the downloadable pdf manual, there is no adjustment available for the CPU voltage. It is not an available feature on your series of mainboard that I can see. To confirm this, you might contact MSI Tech Support here; http://support.msi.com

Z68A-G43 No Core Voltage setting?

Hi all
Well my mobo was crashing all the time with my Q6600 @ 3.4ghz so I went ahead and got a Z68A-G43, i5 2500k and 8gb of 1600mhz G-Skill Ripjawx ram.
I've noticed though....the BIOS has no setting to change core voltage, neither does MSI Control Centre or Click Bios in Windows. So...does this board have no setting for to change it I ask? I mean it may be low down in the range but £75 is a bit tall for budget board is it not? I've got a rock solid 4.5ghz overclock..I can't boot into Windows with 4.6ghz but if I use control centre I can get it solid in Windows at 4.6ghz @ an auto voltage of 1.386v (I mean I've literally thrown everything at it and its not choked).
It would be nice to try and push for 4.7ghz if I could just give it a bit of Vcore myself! Cheers

A solid OC of 4,5GHz on the budget Z68 offering ? Mere mortals would be over the moon to boast with such an OC, what is it, 30% ? It's always that tiny bit extra we all want, and when we have it, sometimes we don't know what to do with it.
Most of us run our boards around that OC to maintain the full power saving feature. Sandy Bridge has this unwanted side effect, whenever you manually set the VCore, it will remain there, no matter what, even in idle.
But you are welcome to check with MSI technical if it's even possible to introduce this via a BIOS change in the future. I doubt it. >>How to contact MSI.<<
Believe me, the 2500K above 4,6GHz generates mostly heat and the gain in performance becomes insignificant.

Afterburner, no set core voltage second card on crossfire.

Hello,
I do not have a setting available on the " core voltage " on my second graphics card in afterburner .
I just added a 280X R9 besides my HD7970 .
ON the first card everything is available but not on the second .
Do you have an idea of setting ?
Sorry i have a print screen but i can't post external link.....
AB 4.1.0
Sorry for my English I use google translator from France ^^

Core voltage stability on 865PE Neo2 PFS

I've just installed one of the new P-series NEO-2 MOBO's. Nice piece of work, although it seems there is still some work left to be done. Definite problems (although not serious) in Core center (althoug other posts indicate this may be indiginous to core center itself..)
More serious though is a reading of the processor core voltage.
I'm using a Celery 2.6, OC'd to 3.25G, FSB 125. Had to raise core voltage to 1.6V to get there, lower voltage led to crashes as low as FSB 104...
Recently, I looked at a scan of the core voltage (provided by Speedfan):
The problem lies in the fact that during disk access and/or high processor load, the core voltage drops as much as 90 mV, bringing it back to its default setting (spikes in graph, longer drop was writing DVD, CPU benchmark has similar result).
If it does this at 1.5V, I can understand the crashes.
I get the impression this board could do MUCH better with more stable voltage regulation.
Anyone seeing similar behaviour in other Neo2-boards? Am I missing a setting?(core-cell may be intervening) It's hard to imagine the PSU can't hack it.. 12V level is rock solid.
System: MSI 865PE Neo2 PFS, Celeron 2.6G @ 3.25G (125 FSB)
1x corsair 3200 512MB @ 333
POV 5600 VIVO
WD800BB 80GB
PSU: HEC 350 VD-PT (3.3V@28A, 5V@33A, 12V@15A)

I'm not worrying. Just a bit surprised we all make a bug fuzz about overclocking, increasing core voltage by 25 mV at a time, and suddenly ignoring it all and "accepting" 70 mV drops if we need processing power...
If the voltage regulator would be more robust, it would be able to maintain the Vcore to (much?) higher power ratings.
This board drops by roughly 70 mV, constituting 3 notches on the voltage setting tab.
I went up to 1.6V, and what I actually get is 1.52.....
To have 1.6 available under all conditions, I'd need to set to 1.7 (yes, I've tried), which is over the top for "normal" overclocking (not to mention considerably higher temperatures).
Anyway, I'd like to know what other boards are doing regarding Vcore stability. Anyone out there with additional data?
Maybe a new target for modifications? (if it's worth it...)

MSI KT3V low maximum core voltage

Hey guys
I'm very angry,because my kt3v have max. core voltage at 1,7V.Where i can find unofficial or beta bios for higer voltages? 1,7V is too low for good overclocking. I use at xp 1700+ (t-bred) and i have stable only 171 x 11.5.I heard that this cpu can run at higer speeds than 1974 mhz.
Where i can find any solution for this voltage?

I had the same problem. Not enough voltage to get my 1700+ past 1907 without stability issues. I used a defogger kit and closed all the L11 bridges on the processor which basically set the default voltage for the CPU at 1.85. Now when I go in to BIOS, the voltage is already set to 1.85, which I think is the max on most newer MSI boards. I never found a beta BIOS anywhere that got around that +/- .1 volt thing. There are also some guides out there about modifying the processor socket with small wires to jumper different pins together to alter the Vcore, but I didn't want to risk putting the wires in the wrong holes...heh. I only had to close 2 L11 bridges on my processor to get the default Vcore to 1.85 and they weren't that close together so it only took about 5 minutes to do it and it works like a champ. Good luck!

Z97 G45 i7 4790K Core Voltage

hey,
i just got my new z97 g45. is it possible to set the core voltage to a fixed value? im using a dark rock advanced c1 and my core temps are in idle mode around 40 °C. seems kinda high to me so id try to lower the cpu core voltage. (i got 2 sysfans and the temperature in the case are about 25 to 30 °C.)
if its possible where and how can i change that?
thanks in advance.

70 °C with aftermarket cooler? Either you got bad CPU (with bad thermal solution between the chip and lid itself) or the cooler is completely screwed..
1.25V is quite a lot. For my i5 4670 on 3.6GHz I use fixed 1.050V and it's all good and pretty cool, though it also was getting around 1.15 (or above, can't remember) on default settings.
So what you can do is set 3.8GHz fixed on your CPU, run Intel Burn Test together with CPU-Z and see the max V you get then. And for example if you get around 1.15V, try to use 1.08V. If all good (Intel Burn Test it then), try even lower 1.07V until you reach the point where it will BSOD (I believe) or not boot properly.
But getting the right cooler is the most important and you shouldn't be hitting these temps with aftermarket one.

MSI Afterburner - 2.2.0 Beta 3 Core Voltage 0+ (Question)

Sup guys,
I installed the MSI Afterburner - 2.2.0 Beta 3, i read the manual and some sites etc. one thing i do not understand and that is how this version's Core Voltage works. As i've seen on youtube and various forums that the Core Voltage is displayed as the volts are set to exp: 0.0950V, but mine is displayed as a "+0". It never displays the Volts at which you are currently at, like the Core Clock or Memory clock etc. Any ideas?

I was wondering what that switch was for
So i switched to "Performance Mode" and kind of almost freaked out when i booted back up, because my pc took a while to start up "longer than normal", when it entered Windows it changed to 800x600 Res and said my Hardware was not supported, but a min or 2 after that it said "New Device Installed and ready for use" and asked to restart, so i restarted and....... kapish
Seems we have a winner:
It does run a bit hotter than when on silent mode, but will sort that out.
Thanks for the effort.
Ps. I Assume that is my actual "Volt" measurement

KT4V overclocking - Core voltage

Hi,
I have a TBred Athlon XP 1700+ (DLT3C 0308RPMW) and KT4V mobo. The board can supply 1.85V core voltage. But my CPUs default is 1.5V. My problem: Vcore settings in the BIOS are limited up to 1.6V only. The CPU can safely handle much more in fact.
I don't want to solder anything on the mobo or fiddle on bridges on my CPU (HSF so hard to take out) so Ive found an idea. I am reverse engineering the CMOS contents to find where the Core Voltage is stored. I found that locations 63 and 85 on the CMOS control Vcore. I could obtain 1.625V by manually altering the contents. But when I try one higher setting (that should be 1.65V), the mobo just doest not post at all. So probably I am missing something on the CMOS contents.
Any suggestions would help. Thanks.
KT4V BIOS version: 1.8

BOGEYMAN1 CGA, you should be talking about L11 unlocking. That is very delicate stuff for me. I can barely see the bridge, I am sure I can't unlock it successfully ;(
I am working on the dump program. But it does not run on Win2K and XP (it accesses the ports directly). So I'll have to write a fresh one for the command prompt (again the old friend Borland Pascal compiler )
Up to now I obtained the following info:
CMOS memory locations 63 and 85 do control the core voltage, that is for sure. To increase Vcore by 0.025V, increment the contents of loc. 63 and 85 by one.
But there are other parameters affecting loc.63 too. It is pretty complicated. The FSB, DDR voltage etc. Nearly all the parameters seem to have something on location 63 ?( So in the final program probably I will have to make all the adjustments available, like the BIOS, or it won't work. We'll see.
Now, can you tell me how the put the dump program on the internet? Some free web server or so?

Core voltage

:noidea:i do not over clock my machine but i ran intels cpuid and it tells me that my p4 2.6c is running at 2636mz and not at 2600 and with a fsb of 211 not 200
in the bios everything is as it should be except the core voltage which is set at 1.520 ant thats the lowest setting i can get.
my bios version is 1.9.
can someone throw some light on this .
is it safe to leave this as it is

ok a little more info
just updated bios to 1.9
i changed nothing except sata set for hdd and change ddr voltage to 2.7 and agp voltage to 1.6 performance is set to slow other than that i changed nothing

OC-Genie Core Voltage

After making sure my system ran stable, it was time for the OC-Genie Button :P.
My i7 2600K is cooled with a Scythe Mugen 2 but after only a couple of minutes of Prime95 temperatures went through the roof :O. Fan jumped to 1800RPM but soon enough it ticked 78 degrees celcius and I turned it off, I'm not going to wait for the smell of burning PCB's
Anyways, I noticed the core voltage is set to 1.35v while the maximum recommended is 1.4v. Why does it set it that high?
I am currently testing stability at 4.4Ghz with a core voltage of 1.25v and the temperatures stay below 70 degrees celcius. Fan runs at 55%/~1400RPM.
Another thing I've noticed is that core 0 and 3 are structurally 5-6 degrees lower than core 1 & 2. How does that work?

Thats what it usually does.
We have been advising our users to check the voltages after using OC Genie.
What you should do is start your PC with OC Genie activated. Once in the BIOS, save this as a user profile.
Switch the OC Genie off again. Now go into the BIOS and load the saved user profile. You can now manually adjust the OC Genie settings to your herats contempt, i.e. lower the voltages gradually to find the limits.
OC Genie is a quick OC tool. The best way of Overclocking is still the manual process inside the BIOS. It takes time.

Thats normal. The thermal diodes inside the CPU are not identical. Mine differ by the same amount. Always assume the temp to be the warmest one.

Afterburner Forgets Voltage Setting After Sleep or Hibernation

Hey, I hope someone can help me.
I have a GTX580 Lightning and have an overclock set as follows;
Core Voltage +70
Mem Voltage +0
Aux Voltage +10
Core 900
Memory 2250
It's completely stable and works like a charm but when I put my computer to sleep or hibernate when it returns the clocks are restored but the voltages arent which means when I try to run a game the system black screens until the driver recovers and I reapply my overclock to set the voltages again.
Im running the latest beta drivers 295.51 and Beta 10 of Afterburner but this has happend for the last 6 months with all previous driver/afterburner combinations.
I see flashing the VBIOS will probably sort it but I'm reluctant to mess with it as it sounds like I could quite easily brick the card which is still well within its warranty.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is the rather abrupt reply I got over at the Afterburner forums...
Wrong thread title. It doesn't forget anything, it is not Afterburner's job to restore VGA state after suspended mode, display driver is supposed to save VGA state before entering suspended mode and restore it properly after resuming. Afterburner may not even reside in memory when you're entering suspended mode and leaving it.
There is a workaround for such driver issues, RestoreAfterSuspendedMode entry in the configuration file, which forces Afterburner to save all settings to a temporary profile before entering suspended mode and restore it after resuming. But it won't help if you don't keep Afterburner residing in memory all the time.
And it was discussed widely, so simple search could easily solve the issue.

Core Voltage on K72NG-ILSR

I think I have my mobo maxed out. I am running a Barton 2500+ @ 197 X 11.5 with core voltage of 1.8 (I had already gone past 200 X 11). It gets unstable @ 198 X 11.5, but my vcore on the board will not go past 1.8 (temp is around 45c). Am I missing something, or is that all the board will do? Also, does anyone know if the K72NG-DELTA voltage will go any higher? My ram voltage on the board seems to max out at only 2.7.

Thats all shes got. It should have enough Vcore to get 200X11 as i ran it like this on Vcore 1.72 just fine and ran 200X11.5 fine about 95% of the time on 1.8, but crashed every now and then. But the borad is only got 1.8 and the only way to get more out of it is connect pins on CPU to make defalt voltage 1.85v and set it to H/W in bios under Vcore. But with this board your overclock is just about as good as an overclock you can get with this board.

Core Voltage wont OC on N680GTX Lightning!

Hi everybody!
I recently bought a brand new gaming PC, after years and years of being a notebook gamer.. So, i finally decided to play around with the overclock settings for my GPU
I have the Z77 MPOWER Motherboard, and as for my GPU, I have the N680GTX Lightning. My system is running windows 7 x64. I use MSI Afterburner 2.3.1 for applying the overclocking, and Furmark for testing (instead of Kombuster)
I'm all new to overclocking, so i started reading about it, and came across this review of the GPU:
-Link here, but this damn forum says: "Sorry, you are not allowed to post external links." darn..
And they clearly figured out some nice overclocking settings for the GPU. Allthough, I didn't know if I should just change the settings to those levels right away, so i kept looking and found another post:
-Link here, but this damn forum says: "Sorry, you are not allowed to post external links." darn..
So i started to slowly apply the overclocking to my Core Clock, and everything was well. I was able to get it to +70/80 before the drivers started to crash. Then i went ahead to start applying the Core Voltage overclocking (slowly increasing the Voltage a little bit at a time), i realized, that when i increase the Core Voltage (to ex. +12 or +25), nothing happens to "GPU voltage, V" in the monitor screen in Afterburner. It just stays at 1175'ish. When i increase the value and press "Apply", it drops to 1100 for like 1/4 of a second, and then goes up to 1175 again. And no matter how much i increase the Core Voltage, it just wont go higher than 1175. When i apply the overclock, GPU-Z also says that the "GPU Clock boost" still is at 1176 (Just like the Default Clock, so nothing has changed). Now, I did increase the Power Limit from 100 to 133%, and i checked "Unlock voltage control", "Unlock voltage monitoring" and "Force constant voltage"(allthough i don't really know what "Force constant voltage" does, but i have the same problem with applying the voltage overclock whether i have it checked or not). I also set the UAC settings to "disabled"(Never notify), as i did read somewhere that that could be the problem. Didn't help me though..
Is anybody else experiencing the same problem? Or does anyone have any idea of what i do wrong? Hope somebody can help me!
(this is my first post in here.. And sorry for any bad English language )

Hi, the easy answer is you need to use older 2.2.3 AB version as Nvidia forced MSI AB to lock out voltage tweaks .
Now onto voltage monitoring, even if you use older AB the voltage will not show correctly in GPU-Z or AB, it will show 1.175 approx , but that is not including the offset added voltage because the PE/lightening models add voltage on top of reference regulator .
SO just add offset to GPU-Z and should be close to right voltage .

Msi 670 pe/oc and afterburner core voltage questions..

So recently I've been attempting to push my card further. From what I'm hearing these cards are locked with voltage. Max are anywhere from 1.175 - 1.215. I don't remember flashing my bios. So I tried pushing my card to 1202 which is the max I can get without adjusting msi voltage. Also I use heaven to test stability. I limit my frames to 63 since that is what I play bf3 at and it's my most demanding game. With 1202 clock even up to 1228 I can complete one run without crashing and stock voltage.
So I said what the hell I'll increase powerlimit to 114% and increase core voltage to +30( I don't even know how much this adds because there isn't a way to monitor... If anyone has an idea I'm all ears). What do you know to my surprise I was able to complete one benchmark run in heaven at 1254 without crashing. I tried 1254 without adjusting voltage and it crashed and I had to restart. Added +30 and it didn't crash. Also aux voltage was +30 maxed and still crashed without adding core voltage. So are these voltages really locked like Nvidia wanted? Or is there a problem with heaven benchmark.
Also my setting are 4xaa( I use 2x in bf3 with low post processing) !680x1050( native) resolution, tessellation is normal, af x 16. I've also heard about flashing with unlocked bios but as of now I don't want to try that.
My current gpu bios is 80.04.31.00.46(P2004-0005). Anyone know the values for this bios or where I can look it up? I'm also on the beta 310.71 drivers since the whql 310.71 drivers for some reason limited my oc.
Thanks for anyone who can help answer these questions.

A locked card will always max out at 1.175v no matter what is set. Using Afterbuner 2.2.4 possibly also later (2.2.5 and 2.3.0 are said to be not locked but I doubt that) will also max out at 1.175v no matter the vbios. Since the 670PE does not allow to monitor voltage with software it is hard to tell if overvoltage past 1.175v works or not. Could be progress is caused due to increasing aux voltage while gpu stays at 1.175v max. An unlocked card would do 1.2125v max.
It would require an unlocked mod bios for the unlocked overvoltage. There is a thread on overclock.net about unlocked GTX6xx vbios versions. There you could get an unlocked bios for GTX670 PE: http://www.overclock.net/t/1289489/gtx-680-670-unlocked-voltage-bios/510#post_17888629
So far nobody in the forum has tested that and using would be at your very own risk (as always when using mod bios).
