Hello,
A while back I was dabbling with Vcore and Core ratio.
I noticed that the Vcore was set to 1.3-1.35v on the UEFI (the 2700 has a default of 1.0-1.1v) even if I did some low offset of +0.1.
After this I tried to do a negative offset of 0.1 to see if it would change something, it did not.
When I tried to go back to the previous settings (+0.3 vcore offset, that would set my vcore to 1.33v. I was using it for about a day already) I got a warning on the boot saying the vcore was too high.
I went to the UEFI and my motherboard decided that would be a good ideia to push 1.6v to the CPU. I went back to optimized default as fast as I could.
The PC had some trouble to boot after that. I removed the CMOS battery for sometime, after that it looked to be working just fine.
Now, after I moved the PC to cleanup the room, there is a faulty USB port. I'm not sure if it was being used before.
Could the 1.6 vcore be the reason for the faulty USB port?
If so, is it a CPU or a motherboard damage?
Do you guys think I can get a replacement, since the PC still have warranty, and I was not the one to set the vcore so high?
