Running a 2600k in the mentioned board bios version 402.
Unless I am mistaken, there is no manual voltage control in this board, it has to be done via offset voltages.
If I boot at 48x multi, the cpu vid is say 1.4v and the monitor shows an actual voltage of say 1.5v.
I can boot this into windows, however the voltage under load will go to something crazy like 1.6v.
The problem I am having, is that if I enable -0.05 voltage offset, upon reboot the cpu vid says 1.15v with the monitor showing 1.20v, and I will fail to boot into windows.
This happens at every multiplier I have tried, 45 through 50.
This is no problem at 45x multi, as there is sufficient voltage at this multi to boot and with a - offset voltage and LLC enabled, I get .096v at idle 16x multi and 1.34v at load 45x multi. Very nice. Adjusting the offset works as intended.
But at higher multi's, it isn't stable. I can counteract this with an adjustment to additional turbo voltage. However this only helps when at full load, I get BSOD when the cpu is in a throttle state.
Is there a reason why upon any - adjustment to offset voltage, the board decides to default to very low voltages.
As I'm typing this, I realized I haven't tried a + offset voltage adjustment to see what affects that has on voltages. I will give it a go shortly.
Cheers,
