cold boot alters voltage configurations
cold boot alters voltage configurations
My CPU overclock performs well at 3.95 ghz with a +0.258 vcore offset. The bad B450 board doesn’t support fixed voltage or LLC. Every time I restart my PC after a cold boot, BIOS checks show only 1.14 volts applied, even though the voltage offset remains constant. This forces me to restart for the Vcore offset to take effect, and once back in BIOS it reads 1.404 volts, which is acceptable. TL;DR: BIOS fails to apply voltage settings after a cold boot. I’m sure it’s not resetting to auto voltage since that setting is much lower than 1.14 volts.
I've experienced something comparable, but it was my responsibility. I saved a profile for my OC and set bios to load profile #1 at startup. Any changes, even if saved, would return to profile #1 on the next cold boot. By closing windows, it preserves the current boot state in CMOS, which should work until a reset or hard reboot, after which it would revert.
hello, you can test various BIOS versions to work around this issue
otherwise mainboard support should offer better assistance than this forum
My CPU overclock performs well at 3.95 ghz with a +.258 vcore offset. The bad B450 board doesn’t support fixed voltage or LLC settings. Every time I restart my PC after a cold boot, entering BIOS before Windows loads, I see the BIOS reporting only 1.14 volts applied, even though the voltage offset remains constant. This forces me to restart again so the vcore offset is properly set, and once back in BIOS it shows 1.404 volts, which is acceptable. TL;DR: BIOS doesn’t update voltage settings after a cold boot. I’m aware it’s not resetting to auto voltage since the auto value is much lower than 1.14 volts. (R5 2600 and Gigabyte B450M DS3H) I’m using the latest BIOS f42e.
you might consider using some older BIOS versions, isn't that a good idea?
