Whea Un-correctable / Odd voltages

mechanicalfluff · November 22, 2015

It's been a while since i've overclocked this cpu. I've set it to default going into windows 10. I started to bluescreen while streaming so i decided to see what's going on.

After running the cpuz stress test, i noticed that my voltage isn't changing. It doesn't bluescreen on this stress test, but it does pretty often with OBS on medium encoding.

What does your BIOS say?

How are the voltages configured and so on? I'm surprised it even boots at 0,6V...

0.664V under load seems rather low, given that I'd expect around 0.9V on idle if it was set to factory defaults.

It's weird. I'd previously had it clocked to 4.8 rock stable, albeit at a pretty high-voltage. Started hiccuping after the win10 update, so i put it back at it's 'optimized defaults' and haven't touched it since.

Voltage still says auto, anyone suggest otherwise to setting voltage manually to 1.2v or so?

Another quick question (if anyone knows off-hand) Is there any way to preserve a raid array after clearing cmos? I could get it back by loading defaults and immediately switching it from ahci to raid. If i didn't change it before it booted to windows installer, it would break the array permanently

Seems like cpuz is just reading it wrong. I reluctantly downloaded AI suite and saw that it's at 1.2v under load. I went into bios and just manually set a voltage of 1.25 and it's pretty solid. It survived 4 hours of rendering in premiere, so far so good.
