AI SUite III - CPU/Cache Adaptive Offset Voltage setting vs. Bios works differently?

[Xenofin]

Thank you Raja for your answer.

There is still a small problem, HOW to set this Adaptive CPU Voltage in UEFI Bios. I have not found any reviews which show picture of Adaptive Mode settings except one picture for another ASUS Z87 board (found it just few minutes ago).


Here you can see that you should actually set in the field the same voltage value found in Manual Mode. In board's manual value range for this setting is described to be 0.001...0.192V and nothing implies that you really should set the actual voltage fed to CPU, instead of the ADDITIONAL i.e. Offset Voltage (as I understood the terminology).
Terminologies aside, a little more explanation in manual is preferred. Same applies to CPU Cache Voltage -setting in Adaptive Mode. Manual, even the latest downloadable version from ASUS Support site misses key information on this subject.
So, I have a proposal here to name 'Additional CPU Turbo Mode Core Voltage' setting to be the same as in AI Suite III.

I have read posts from other forums where people seem to be as confused as I was how to set proper voltage values in UEFI Bios.

OK, lessons learned. Time to move on. Thank you for your help.

That info regarding adaptive is already in the oc guide stickied in this forum:

"Simply type the target load voltage into the entry box "Additional Turbo Mode CPU core voltage" to set adaptive voltage."




For Offset mode the base VID will move according to the multi ratio used.

Xenofin, please post a screenshot of your UEFI section set to adaptive that matches the screenshot you posted above so we can see the settings available to you. You can do this by pressing F12 and saving to a FAT formatted USB stick while the screen is displayed.

Thanks Raja. That sentence was overlooked by me, sorry for that.

Praz, UEFI section considering voltage settings in Adaptive Mode is the same as in the picture above, except for color . The thing that started my confusion was the manual telling the range 0.001...0.192V for Additional Turbo CPU Core Voltage (Could it be change to Adaptive Turbo Mode...).


Picture is from the latest downloadable version of the manual (which is newer than supplied with motherboard)

I believe the screenshot you posted is from the Deluxe board which has a fully manual option. If so some of the values used will be different than your board. In your UEFI when the Additional Turbo Mode CPU Core Voltage is highlighted what is displayed in the top right hand corner of the screen for available options?
