s about 4970k VRIN and VCore
I checked my settings and noticed the VCore value has been lowered recently, which might be affecting performance. I recall using it in the high 50s Celsius idle setting with an H80i processor. Now it feels too low, and I’ve experienced random input loss during games or normal use. Could this be the cause? I’m unsure of the ideal range for my Intel i7 4790k and wanted advice. My motherboard is a Gigabyte G1.Sniper.H6 with an H97 chipset. Thanks!
Consider adjusting these parameters to their standard values and observe the outcome. VCore could be close for a stock configuration, but switching to a voltage offset might be better for reducing temperatures, as it aligns more logically. I notice no need to reduce GTCore too much. It seems you're likely using dedicated graphics, which should already be off by the BIOS, so power savings aren't necessary.
It makes more sense to adjust that, though I’m not entirely sure how it functions. Would I need to alter my offset to -0.075V to achieve the same outcomes? Seems reasonable—I was uncertain if it would affect temperatures at all, so I went with a lower value.
