Boosting the core clock reduces the voltage.
Boosting the core clock reduces the voltage.
Hey guys
Here’s what I’ve got so far:
GPU - EVGA 650 ti boost 2gb
CPU - Intel Pentium g3258 Anniversary Edition
PSU - Corsair 650 VS
Mobo - B85-g43 gaming
Since getting it, I’ve faced some stability problems, so I had to lower the clock speed. Checking MSI Afterburner shows that at 1084mhz the voltage is 1.062, but when I set the core clock to -105 (980 MHz), it jumps to 1.175 — matching the overclock range I’ve seen online.
What’s happening? Thanks everyone.
P.S. I also tried Sky Diver with voltage monitoring; underclocked it stays steady at 1.175, while default gives a range of 1.125–1.150.
Also read the previous article, and don't forget to check out the Intel design guide.
I wouldn't mind a simplified version lol
Either way something fishy is up, since I'm not trying to actually overclock it, just not have to underclock it since it should run at Afterburners default settings correct?
When it's stable, GPU-Z shows it running at 875mhz, when in afterburner it says it's running at 980 (Which is actually the cards factory clock)
What program should I believe? Since MSI default puts me on 1084mhz and GPU-Z reports 980.
