I have been playing around with my BIOS settings, not much specific info on the specific BIOS I have so I had to do some research and make adjustments. I wanted some of the OC veterans to review my settings to see if there are any settings that could be harmful, needs to be adjusted, or any recommendation/feedback.
Gigabyte BIOS F11
Vcore = 1.320 (My BIOS does not let me manually set the Vcore, it seems that as I raise the multiplier the CPU voltage increases accordingly. Under default settings I noticed the Vcore to be at 1.296V, so I tried to lower the 1.320V, closer to 1.296V via the DVID, hence the -0.030V. This seemed to lower the temps a bit, as before some of my highs were 78-79c.
MIT Settings
CPU Clock - 45
PLL - Auto
Real-time ratio in OS - Disabled
C1E - Auto
C3/C6 - Auto
EIST - Auto
Memory Settings
DRAM Timing - Quick
Channel Timming - set to 9, 9, 9, 24
Voltage Settings
LLC - Standard (Follow Intel Specs)
DVID - (-.030V)
I included the settings that I've seen are most utilized to OC, but if I do not have in here it is set at default.
Under these settings my idle CPU voltage is around .8V (1600Mhz) with core temps around 31-32c. Prim95 8 hour test no errors with core temps (68c, 70c, 75c, 69c).
Again I just want to make sure that these settings would be appropriate 24/7.
Thank you.
