CPU Voltage when Overclocking

namarino · March 30, 2015

Hey guys, I'm OC my 8320 on the M5A97 R2.0. When I disable LLC the voltage droops and prevents me from achieving stability, but when I enable it, the voltage goes higher than what I put in the BIOS. These are both undesirable. Is there any way that I can just get the voltage to be what I set it in the BIOS? Thanks so much for your help!

There should be an overide mode on your CPU voltage. It shouldn't be set on auto. Change it to overide and input your desired voltage. Start with 1.25v and work your way up. LLC as far as I know should be on as well.

I'm sure someon here can give you more details on LLC. I just set mine on 80% and leave it there.

Wait so does your voltage increase?

If course your voltage increase. Overide mode is some sort of a manual mode where you have to slowly increase the voltage manually by inputting the voltage yourself.

When you reach the point of stability, crank your LLC up and decrease your voltage by a bit. You need to find the balance between LLC and voltage.
