Auto voltage wont turn off
Auto voltage wont turn off
I have a Z370 asus rog STRIX MB with an 8700k, auto cpu core voltage off, manual voltage at 1.35. Using intel xtu I'm seeing voltages higher than 1.35, sometimes around 1.37 or 1.41. I've overclocked to 4.7ghz but it won't accept the set voltage. Any suggestions?
Well, according to the numbers you provided it's 60 mV, not 100 mV. Regardless, TH's review of your mobo says there is an LLC setting that can be adjusted.
It's referred to as load line calibration, but your voltage will still fluctuate under load. You might want to experiment with LLC settings in the BIOS. I have an I5-8600k running at 5.2 ghz and it never exceeds my configured voltage. It uses the same board model. I'll check the BIOS for that.
It's referred to as load line calibration, but your voltage will still shift slightly when under load. You might attempt adjusting the LLC settings in the BIOS if you wish. I couldn't locate anything related to LLC or Load line calibration. I would prefer to simply turn it off and manually tweak my voltages.
TJ Hooker explains that load line calibration is happening, and the voltage variation is more significant than a small change. He suggests adjusting LLC settings in the BIOS if you wish.
