Voltage changes between 0.1v and 1.224v
Voltage changes between 0.1v and 1.224v
Using a mid-range gaming motherboard with an MSI Z97 GR5 and attempting overclocking, I’m only achieving stable speeds up to 4. The only consistent OC I get is via the OC Genie, which caps at 4.0 GHz. Removing it from the OC Genie and entering identical BIOS settings causes significant voltage drops during idle. I’m wondering if adjusting the voltage to around 0.01V would help, though all readings still show the same value. Any suggestions on what BIOS settings might resolve this? Whether it needs more than 2.24V or less. Also, running an EVGA 650W PSU.
I understand you're unsure about the power savings, but it might be worth turning them back on if stability returns and performance improves. Thank you.
For better control during overclocking, I set a manual Vcore, turn off Turbo and SpeedStep (EIST), and disable all C-states. When I reach my stable frequency with the least Vcore needed, I switch to adaptive or offset Vcore, reactivate SpeedStep, and keep only C1E enabled. I leave Turbo and other C-states off.

Using an Msi z97 gr5 gaming motherboard and trying to overclock. I cant get anything above 4 stable. The only stable OC i get is through OC genie but its only 4.0ghz. When i take it out of OC genie and type in the exact same settings into my BIOS the voltage fluctuates massivly at idle. Im talking down to 0.01v??? Everything i check voltage through says the same. Any help on what settings could fix this. Whether i need more that 2.24v or less. Running an evga 650w psu
Have you turned off turbo, EIST, and all energy saving options (c-states) while overclocking? Have you set a manual Vcore or are you in AUTO?
I know all the power savings are off, will it be better to turn them back on if it is ever stable and it may be turbo because i believe that was still on. Thankyou
