the voltage on my cpu increases after changing the multiplier - please assist
I have a 10 64 bit system with 8gb ram, gtx 960, amd 860k, a68hm-e33 v2 motherboard. I managed to adjust the BIOS multiplier and am using AOD (amd overdrive) to check thermal margins. I’m currently increasing the multiplier from 37 to 41 and running a prime95 blend test for 20 minutes each. There’s still about 40 degrees of headroom left.
My issue is that the default core voltage is set to 1.325, and I want to overclock as much as possible before raising it further. However, when I change the multiplier in the BIOS and save, the CPU VID changes to 1.482 or something similar—highlighted in orange or yellow, which is clearly abnormal.
In AOD I revert it back to 1.325 and save, but every time I restart, it changes again. This isn’t working well... I don’t see the CPU VID or voltage in the BIOS menu—only DRAM voltage is visible. It seems something in the BIOS is handling this, but I’m confused about what it does. I’m worried that if I keep increasing the multiplier, the voltage will keep rising and eventually cause my CPU to fail during overclocking. I just got a Cryorig H7 CPU cooler today, so it’s keeping things cool.
Anyone knows why this is happening and how to fix it?
