Any setting for cpu to increase voltage while on load?

I set my vcore around 1.1 and stress tested it and it BSOD. I set it to auto and it comes up as 1.328 in which it passes the test. What i want to do is to set it at 1.1 as idle and when load comes in it can auto go up to 1.328 volts how do i chnage the settings to allow this?

Hi,
Have you enabled LLC in the bios? You can also adjust the offset voltage if you like to use that feature also. As that will hold it close to what you set in the bios. But it will still drop some under a load. That is just how it works though. Thanks

You can use offset mode to provide the additional voltage when your cpu needs it. There is a very good guide posted here on the forum. Look in the sticky.

ok i'll look for the off set mode. thanks.

i enabled offset mode and put in 4.9ghz and it automatically set the vcore to 1.640?

What is this?

What was your VCore set to? And what amount of offset voltage did you select?

I would suggest +.200 if your starting point is 1.2volts

With all due respect mate, are you sure thats the best way to do it?

The way I underastand it, you set to offest then amount to auto, boot to windows, stress test it and see what the VCore hits on load, then reeboot and choose manual offset and set the offset amount to the amount you desire to reach target.

IE: If ofset auto hits 1.4 on load, and you want 1.45, you go to bios and adjust the offset figure to +0.040v to add 0.040v to the figure it automatically set under load. Thats how I do it anyway, and it works perfectly.

I suspect doing the way you wrote, he is going to see 1.4v still, but is this because you advised he use manual to start with instead of auto to achieve the base?

With my 4.9ghz daily OC I have 1.05v at idle and 1.44v on load by leaving vcore at auto and setting offset to +0.070

hi yeah man i put in offset mode on 5 ghz and it went up to 1.64 and asus suite warned me about high voltage. The funny thing is if i put anything higher than 1.54 manually the mobo won't even complete a POST and tells me it's overvolted. Also if i put in say 1.53 vcore and run intel burn test the pc bsods. I actually ran intel burn test with 1.6 vcore and i passed it but it's too high obviously for 5ghz.

Until HiViz man replies, try leaving everything as is and got to offset, change it to "-" then set the offset voltage to 0.100, see if she drops to 1.5v.
