Is the Vcore drop within an acceptable range?
Is the Vcore drop within an acceptable range?
I received the PC as a pre-built unit from cyber power. It was overclocked below the Boost clock of 4.6Ghz, which was at 4.3Ghz. Each time I attempted to remove the overclock using the profiles they left on the BIOS, the PC wouldn’t boot. They recommended switching to a clock ratio of 46, which I applied today. The voltage hasn’t been adjusted since the overclock, so it was shipped at 1.3V.
I might be able to lower it further, but the PC runs stably at the speed I set, so is there really much reason to change it?
It would operate more efficiently and stay cooler while consuming less energy. If you're not concerned about those aspects, leaving it unchanged is perfectly fine.
It seems like you're expressing uncertainty. The only way to determine this is through trial and error.
I would try around 10-20 mV, making small adjustments to check stability. If instability appears, I would gradually raise the voltage by 5-10 mV at a time.
Adjusted to 1.24v from the previous 1.3v, passed the Intel burn test at a high level. The system is stable in the games I've played today and runs cooler. I might push it a bit more, but I don’t feel the need right now.
