I really need assistance with my OC and Vcore.
I really need assistance with my OC and Vcore.
Also should I opt for this over BIOS for overclocking?
I’d like to stick with BIOS rather than using any Windows-based tools, as I lack experience with XTU for OC.
I’m using a Gigabyte Gaming 3.
Turbo, C-states, and EIST are all managed in Advanced CPU Core Settings.
LLC should be set to AUTO, NORMAL, or HIGH. Choose HIGH. This is under Advanced Power Setting -> CPU Vcore Loadline Calibration.
During the OC process:
For the CPU:
- VCore at 1.290 V
- Core ratio of 46
- Uncore ratio of 45
- FCLK Frequency for Early Power 1000 MHz
- CPU VCore Loadline Calibration on High
- Internal graphics turned off
For the memory:
- Extreme Memory Profile (X.M.P.) on "Profile 1"
- Memory enhancement set to "Relax OC"
Advanced CPU Settings [Energy Savers]
- Intel Turbo Boost Technology OFF
- CPU EIST OFF
- CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E) OFF
- C3 State Support OFF
- C6/C7 State Support OFF
- C8 State Support OFF
- Package C-State Limit AUTO
PC Specifications:
- MOBO: Gigabyte Z170 Gaming 3 (F6 BIOS)
- CPU: i5 6600k
- CPU Cooler: EVO 212
- RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3000MHz
- GPU: Gigabyte GTX960OC 2GB
also should I use this for overclocking instead of BIOS

I prefer BIOS over any Windows-based tools, so I’m new to using XTU for overclocking.
Gigabyte Gaming 3 is what I currently have.
Turbo, C-states, and EIST are all managed in Advanced CPU Core Settings.
LLC should be set to AUTO, NORMAL, or HIGH. Choose HIGH. This is under Advanced Power Setting -> CPU Vcore Loadline Calibration.
For me it prompts me to enter a value for the Vcore load line?

I prefer BIOS over Windows apps for OC, so I’m new to XTU.
Gigabyte Gaming 3 is what I own too.
Turbo, C-states, and EIST are in Advanced CPU Core Settings.
LLC should be set to AUTO, NORMAL, or HIGH. Choose HIGH under Advanced Power Setting -> CPU Vcore Loadline Calibration.
It seems I need to input a number for the Vcore load line?
What BIOS version are you using? Please share a screenshot.
Ok I basically copied everything from you but instead I'm at 4.3ghz, 1.265vcore, LLC HIGH, and everything else the same as you except for the C state stuff. I couldn't find Advanced CPU Settings [Energy Savers] in the bios. Also, I didn't give you my specs: i5-6600k, CM 212x (newer version of evo), Gigabyte z170 Gaming 3, Rosewell PHOTON 550W GOLD PLUS, HYPERX FURY BLACK 2133mhz 8gb, MSI GTX 960 4gb. My specs are almost identical lol.
I basically copied everything you gave me, but now I'm at 4.3ghz with 1.265vcore and LLC HIGH. Everything else matches yours except for the C state stuff. I couldn't find Advanced CPU Settings [Energy Savers] in the BIOS. Also, I didn’t provide my specs before: i5-6600k, CM212x (new Evo version), Gigabyte z170 Gaming 3, Rosewell PHOTON 550W GOLD PLUS, HyperX Fury Black 2133mhz 8gb, MSI GTX 960 4gb. My specs are almost the same as yours. Just scroll down to Advanced CPU Core Settings to see the C-states and EIST.

Here’s the stress test result for 4.3ghz and 1.65vcore: (I have LLC in high) during the test it shows a 1.48vcore??? https://gyazo.com/a3334419611a662b10d1593492842436
FYI - SpeedStep enables your Vcore and Freq to lower during idle (for instance, Vcore will fall to 0.744V or below and freq to 800MHz). C-states describe the sleep modes the computer enters at idle. This article provides further details - http://www.dungeoner.com/en/overclocking...rbo-boost/
