  • Vcore Voltage setting

    Hello everyone. I recently had a failed overclocking. I set the BIOS setting according to another user on  another
    forum with similar setup. Only thing is I didn't set the Vcore voltage on my board as it is greyed out not letting me
    make adjustments. Why is that. other users are adjusting theirs some kind of way. I have the X58 Platinum
    which was brand new when I built the PC. 3 OCZ 2gb three channel memory dimms,Vista 64 bit, Intel i7 920.
    Anybody care to share a guide to overclocking this board successfully. Tryin to see at least 3.67 or 3.99Ghz.
    Well 3.67 for now.  Also guys watch those Radeon 4870 graphic boards. Seems that the double start up issues
    I was having after I built my computer was due to a defective graphics card. Just so happens when I went
    to pick my PC back up from doing a diagnostic at Microcenter another customer in line had the exact graphic
    board and his did not work for him either. Both versions were from Diamond.

  • Question about Vcore Voltage with 2400XP

    Hi i have been to amd site and looked up what VCore Voltage i should run my processor at and it says 1.65v and the FSB at 133MHz
    The think is the default in the bios is 1.800 and the computer works fine when bios set at "AUTO" for this.
    I changed it to 1.65v and computer will get to just before the windows logo comes up and restarts.
    If i put the FSB at 100Mhz the computer boots up fine.
    Any Ideas on why i cannot run the computer at full speed with the recommended VCore voltage of 1.65v
    Thanks

  • VCore Voltage problems

    Hello, again...
    I've been silent for a while(after I had to RMA board once to MSI and got new one back), just being happy my machine works. But now, after a while, I just wanted to try to get my CPU to a bit more faster settings.
    Problem is, I can't get beyond 253 FSB without raising VCore voltage from 1.6 -> 1.7. When VCore is at 1.6, CPU-Z and BIOS Health monitor shows it is nicely near 1.6 volts. But when I raise VCore voltage from BIOS to 1.7 it starts to jump between 1.8 - 1.9, both BIOS and CPU-Z shows same behaviour. It wont drop below 1.8, so it's like I did set VCore to 1.8, but I didn't. I did check..
    Now, of course, I could run it at 1.8, but it is a bit too much for my liking, I would like to use 1.7 volts setting. Does anyone else have this same problem?
    Is this BIOS problem or what? I dunno, and I do remeber that my last board(which broke) did the same thing.
    Thanks.

    Hi Lamy. 253 is nothing to complain about. I assume you are at a 5:4 ratio since your ram is only DDR400, which means you are at it's max rating. At that degree of overclock you are probably overloading your power supply at times. Have you tried dropping to a 3:2 ratio to see if the ram is the problem.
    ryede, I'm getting tired of threats from people planning on switching motherboards. Read the rules - there are no MSI rep's here; we are all users. You have one post to your credit with minimal information supplied, and to top it all you are trying to hijack someone elses post. Besides, exceeding 250 FSB is an accomplishment that few achieve.

  • P55M-GD45 Vcore Voltage Help

    I've read the sticky, I know about pg up/pg dn and the +/- keys.
    My problem is that I can't manually set the vcore voltage in the Cell Menu. It says Auto (greyed out) and when I do pgup I can increase the voltage up to about +.303, but it doesn't allow me to manually set the voltage, nor undervolt it.
    I've updated the BIOS to 1.8, but still no luck.
    If anyone has any suggestions, please help.

    I honestly wish the mobo had manual vcore control.
    Well, it does.  You said so yourself:
    Quote
    "Cpu Voltage" it is either Auto (Grey) or increasing the voltage in increments.
    Quote
    I didn't increase it +.303, I was only specifying the limit of what it would allow me to change.
    To be honest, I fail to see the problem you are having with the voltage.  That means that either I am terribly misunderstanding what you are trying to say or that you are misunderstanding the way the voltage settings work. 
    Can you please try to elaborate what exactly it is you are trying to do with the system?  It is irrelevant at this point, what the system will be used for.  What is of importance is what clock speeds you are trying to run the system with, what exact settings result in an unstable system and which settings have been working for you.  Within a certain clock speed range from the default settings, increasing the core voltage of the processor may not even be necessary.  It all depends on what you are actually aiming for.
    In terms of current system settings, you have not really told us much so far:

  • Vcore voltage

    Ok just curious, what should the voltage on my vcore be?
    i think it's set at 1.5 but speedfan shows the low at 1.39 the high at 1.44 and the average at 1.41.  This is after several restarts and I'm not gaming at the moment.  Might this cause instability?

    Alrighty,  I just downloaded Speedfan 4.16 and ran a test on my system to see what results I get.
    I have:
    K8N Neo2 Plat
    Athlon 3500+
    Ballistix PC 4000
    Antec True 550
    Yadda, Yadda, Yadda....
    In my bios, I set my vcore voltage for 1.60 volts (slightly over default), yet Speenfan reports it as 1.49 - 1.52 volts ---- with cool n quiet disabled
    So it would appear your Speedfan readings would be right on par with what would be the standard default voltage for your CPU (considering the slight error reported by Speedfan)

  • X99S Mpower + I7-5930K Vcore Voltages?

    Hey guys,
    Been working on getting this system stable for the past week on my bench. For the most part I have had success, minus a few issues with DOA video cards.
    I am curious as to what my Vcore voltages should be on this system, currently in HWinfo64 my Vcore voltage ranges from a min of 0.008v to max of 0.216v (load). This number seems low to me! When I run OCCT, VIN7, VIN8 and VIN9 are all well below 1 volt, is this normal?
    I have had some weird intermittent issues with some random crashes and sometimes Win8 won't boot properly (Black screen and keyboard loses power). However, I can run Prime95 and FurMark (4K resolution) at the same time while surfing the internet and not have a single issue. I suspect that my power supply may be taking a dump, which is entirely possible as it is well over 3-4 years old and I used to push it pretty hard.
    System:
    Windows 8.1
    I7-5930K
    MSI X99S Mpower
    MSI GTX 980 OCV1 x2
    Crucial 256gb M.2
    32GB G.skill DDR4-2400
    Corsair TX850V2

    Okay will do.
    I just want to recap the issue and include a new one:
    1. Vcore on HWinfo64 reads from 0.008V to 0.216V. VIN7, VIN8 and VIN9 on OCCT read as low as 0.01V when idle. (I will post photos tonight.)
    2. Windows 8.1 hangs on boot after the blue window logo loads, keyboard and mouse lose power. (This happens occasionally, 1 out of 4 restarts)
    3. Using memory kit F4-2400C15Q-32GRR, even when set to 2133Mhz Windows will only recognize 20.9GB to 28.9GB. Ran memtest and found no faults.
    I own a Thermaltake DR. Power II and I checked the PSU, all voltages are normal.
    NOTE: I am currently NOT using J_PWR3 (4-pin EPS12V) only the J_PWR2 8-Pin EPS12V. I am under the assumption after speaking with MSI technical support that the additional 4-pin J_PWR3 is for overclocking only and is not required for normal operation only J_PWR2 8-pin is required. If this is wrong and it IS needed for normal operation someone please correct me!

  • Voltage setting

    This might not be the correct place to apply this question but it does really have to do with the Voltage setting in my board's BIOS. I have a Nvidia Geforce4 ti4200 128mb ddr agp card. I have my settings set to auto in my bios. I was reading the manual and it says that you can improve gfx card performance by changing the settings. So I was wondering, if there was a good setting to put it at? I don't know about this one, just trying to see what all can help my pc go its fastest that it can w/o corruption. Thanks!

    Ok, thanks for the reply, now, i am also curious, b/c i really don't know where to ask this, i'm trying to get the optimal performance over all hardware devices k? Now, i have a nec multisync fe700 17" monitor. I have noticed that under the advanced settings for the display, under my vcard settings, there is an option to change the timing mode for my monitor. it has auto detect and then some other settings. I was wondering, should i change it or just leave as is. I mean it is great now, but wondered if I could get better. I have gone over the manual for the monitor already, nothing noticed for this. I have also searched as well and nothing found except sellers. So I hope that i could get a better answer here, thanks!

  • 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.

  • Vcore voltage problem.

    How come it doesn't post evertime i raise up the vcore voltage. But when i press the reset button it post up fine. It only happen when i power up the computer. I have a MSI 850 pro5 mb | 512 rdram | 550 antec ps | g4 ti 4400. This doesnt make any sense, and I'm not even overclocking it. I try everthing, even update the bios. I think msi board suck. Assaf please help :]

    I did try to overclock, but im trying to say it does the same thing even i dont try to overclock. I have a watercool system and i want to overclock it some more. Its just that it bother me when it does that.

  • MOVED: High voltage on Low Vdroop Setting P67A-GD65 + 2600k

    This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Undervolting & Modding Corner.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=155777.0

    To quote from a recent Ivye Bridge article:
    Quote
    Today Intel defines three different voltages for every Sandy Bridge CPU: LFM, nominal and turbo. LFM is the lowest frequency the CPU can run at (e.g. completely idle), nominal is the frequency it is specified to run at (e.g. 3.3GHz for a 2500K) and turbo is the highest available turbo frequency (e.g. 3.7GHz for a 2500K). Intel determines the lowest voltage possible for each one of those frequencies. Sandy Bridge obviously runs at more than just three frequencies, there are many more intermediate frequencies that it may run at depending on the current workload. The voltages at those intermediate frequencies are interpolated from the three points that I mentioned above.
    There is no definition above that, and it becomes an extrapolation of a voltage above 3,7GHz. Considering that each CPU has slightly different characteristics, even within the defined frequency range, there is no knowing what each one will do and require outside that range. So the required voltage at those overclocked frequencies can vary quite a bit, and the extrapolated voltage range in auto voltage mode at a given frequency may not be enough for the individual sample, furthermore, it is limited in terms of the maximum it will consider and apply in auto mode. Once that critical point is reached, one has to be satisfied or resort to manual intervention.

  • MOVED: Sos Voltage Settings on MSI 785GM-E65 Help Help SOS

    This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=136226.0

    Actually it concerns the Voltages.
    When I installed this CPU in this board everything was AUTO, in Windows the Voltage read 1.4v.
    This 955 Black Editions has Stock Voltages of
    CPU VDD 1.35v
    CPU-NB VDD 1.25v
    HT Link 1.2v.
    However because the BIOS does not output all these voltages in the Right Column as to what they are set to reflecting realtime measures, one has to 'boot' into Window to look at the readout. 
    BIOS Terminology is my main concern so I can set them appropriately to 'stock' first then raise them.
    It seems with this board because it has the several different methods to OC that some voltages cannot be adjusted properly so they are already preset to certain stable measures pre-thinking someone will OC.
    This not good.  Since if the Processor for the CPU VDDC voltage is set high the VCORE get hot quick.
    So, I'm asking for the correct stock voltages for the above for this 955 Black Edition CPU RB-C3 125w/TDP
    on this MSI 785GM-E65 Board.  Don't care about OC at the moment. 
    I need to know from MSI what the stock voltages are for Each Option.
    Lastly, the NB Chipset voltage is set at 1.3v from the Factory along with the HT Link.  When I lower the HT to 1.2 the SB voltage activates and these two move in unison. Which is very uncool and odd.

  • WHY No Vcore voltage Offsets?

    How the heck can there not be Vcore offsets in any MSI Z77 motherboards?  I wish I would have known this prior to purchasing a Z77A GD80 :(  Are there ANY plans to include Vcore offsets in a future bios update? 

    I totally love this MPower board, it looks great, clocks great, boots mega fast, no issues whatsoever, I'm gonna try 4.9GHz and then 5GHz on Air next... lol
    Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 20-October-12, 05:43:50
    With your influence, and the number of users requesting it, I would think MSI HQ would listen to you and the users. They should have plenty of time to at least incorporate the offset feature in the new Haswell LGA 1150 platform.
    Yeah hopefully, it's not a major issue really, I just like to save energy wherever I can, this 2500K has a VID of 1.411v @ 4.8GHz, yet it's totally stable at 1.32v, so I can't just use Auto voltage as it will pump too many volts through it lol   
    Someone mentioned this on overclock.net >> http://www.overclock.net/t/1302731/official-msi-z77-mpower-owners-club-all-things-mpower/450Quote from: CL3P20
    but you can set voltage for your 'turbo multi' ... which is effectively the same thing is it not?
    ie - set vcore at 1.1v for 4ghz.. and set 1.25v for 4.6ghz multi.. that should act in the same fashion as a typical "offset voltage" would.. no?
    I've just been playing around with setting Turbos to x48 but I cannot make the voltage drop down when at x16 with EIST, does anyone know what he is on about he's seems like he knows what he's on about from his previous good posts he's made, but he's not online at the moment lol. 

  • CPU 1 Vcore voltage error

    I'm getting a voltage error every time Retrospect kicks in for backup.
    It's not far off normal. Normal is 1.26 volts. But I'm getting this error:
    CPU 1 Vcore : 1.21 volts * Warning *
    Sometimes it's four email alerts per minute.
    I have reset the PMU. Didn't make a difference.
    Is this a motherboard problem?

    I've gotten the same issues on the same setup (G5 Xserve running 10.3.9). I've been able to isolate this to heat and ventilation. Once the machine was moved to a better cooled and ventilated environment, the errors went away. And Recall that Retrospect is not the nicest piece of software. When it runs it will consume near 100% cpu which will increase internal heat. That makes the fans rev up and the whole unit heat up.
    If you have the unit in a controlled environment, try lowering the temp a few degrees. If you don't get a small fan and either blow cool air at the front of the unit or make sure you are venting the hot air. As summer draws on, you will likely see the problem more frequently.
    Hope this helps.
