970 Extreme3 Vcore problem

[gesierfou]

Hello all asrock's fan !
I have just receiving a new MB asrock 970 Extreme 3 and i have a big problem:
I can't modify the cpu voltage. In the bios in manual OC mode, i can put the voltage as i want, but vcore is always to 1.36v.
For example:
I put 1.3v (with 2500mhz cpu) in the bios. I go out with save setting and after the reboot, my bios is always on 1.36v instead of 1.3v.
I had tested with any other value (1.35v. 1.4v or 1.45v) and vcore always on 1.36v.
I don't understand the problem. I have disable cool and quiet, ce1 state, cpu throtle and put enable LLC without sucess.
Any answer ?

Try updating your BIOS to the Beta L1.21, some boards won't allow vcore changes, did you enable ACC ?

Your better off using the OC utility unless you know exactly what you're doing.

After put the l1.21 beta bios on my 970 extreme3 MB, it is the same problem. All vcore value modified in my bios still 1.36v !

If you set ACC, UCC, set manual OC, and Vcore won't take adjustment, its probably the CPU and they don't want it raised.

But ACC and UCC aren't enable !
It is the first motherboard that do is, really strange.

I'm actually surprised that L1.21 functioned for you considering it's now outdated.

And never mind the 960 you have req's BIOS 1.40 or higher, or so says the boards CPU Support List.

AM3 Phenom II X4 HD960TFBK4DGR 125W Zosma 3000MHz 2000MHz 512KB x4 6MB E0 P1.40

Better knock on wood and reflash back to the latest BIOS.

I had put the newest bios 1.70, vcore setting issue are always here.

Thanks for posting, forgot what a pile of sht website ASRock is, what kind of clowns leave a outed Beta up, well I guess when you can't post win 8 drivers on most boards but have them for the most expencive
board, its ASRock.
