First of all, I have had 4.4GHz stable, but still working on 4.5. Spent a lot of time trying to keep Vcore down, but this board/cpu loves volts. After much perusing the Net, still not sure what "safe" vcore is so decided on 1.4 or slightly over.
Load Line Calibration (LLC) I got a 4 hour run in Prime 95 before crashing using Level 6 with a 1.35 Vcore set. In practice this worked out close to 1.4v (before vdrop) under load, and around 1.392 at idle as read in Hwinfo. However, the cpu would cycle up and down, sometimes all the way down to 3410 then back up to 4513! This is with no C1E, No EIST, etc etc. No matter the settings, using LLC the cpu would cycle under load. So that led me back to DVID.
Surely this is not normal?
DVID. First, early on I could not use Dynamic Vcore (DVID) and abandoned it when it did not work. I finally found the only way to get it to work was to load optimized defaults, reboot, set Vcore to Normal, reboot and then it's available.
Is this normal?
Bi-Directional Prochot. I can not see this in the BIOS at all, yet it appears in the Touch BIOS app.
Is this normal??
If I could access this feature, would enabled or disabled be optimal for OC?
Still not stable. Currently have +.070 DVID but that leaves my idle Vcore 1.392 since as yet I can't get stable settings to turn power saving features back on. I can run 20 passes of I.B.T with closely matched numbers one minute, crash on 2 passes 5 minutes later, so I'm a little puzzled but still working the BIOS.
Other relevant settings are Vtt 1.065 / cpu PLL 1.780 / Internal cpu Overvoltage set to Auto. Current DRAM settings all Auto.
