Hi all, had my Rampage IV Black Edition and 4930k replaced a few weeks ago by my supplier after code00 and bootloop with red cpu led, my replacement cpu/motherboard seems to be working with a high vcore at the moment it is oced at 4200mhz @ 1.296v and can,t seem to get it any lower is this something to be worried about? Everything is stable and temps are fine.

1.296v is not a HIGH vcore. it's very normal & acceptable. u step 1.4+ then there will be trouble coming alive.

I have been oc-ing my system lately and 1.296v seems normal(not talking about lowest vcore btw) voltage for 4.2ghz.
Below are my observation when you set manual vcore to auto mode. (During load status)
4.3ghz is around 1.34-1.35v
4.4ghz is around 1.36-1.38v
4.5ghz is around 1.39-1.408v
Note: these are auto voltage from manual setting ( you may lower it further to find the lowest stable vcore using stresstest etc)

In my limited experience, the vcore needed for clocks is usually specific to each cpu (good/bad bin). He should have an idea what's normal for his chip if he had his board for a while before it started bootlooping (like me lol). It doesn't necessarily seem "high" to me. Seems high for 4.2 tho...

I'd say maybe you just didn't get very lucky in the silicon lottery, unless that's more than you needed before.

There's a possibility you need to check out VCCSA, VTT, and/or Current Capability. One or all of those might help you get your VCore down a bit. Try raising your Current Capability in Digi+ Settings up around 150-160%. Then check if the VCCSA that the boards showing is consistent with your ram specs. Or just try upping the VCCSA. And if that doesn't work, try VTT. Also try setting LLC to Medium if you haven't yet.

Thanks for the input guys, after some tweaking got the vcore down to 1.264v stable for now i will leave it at 4.2 as i,m happy with the performance at that, funny thing was before i was running without a case as i was waiting for a TT core V71 case to arrive in the country and now i have my setup in a case its allowed me to use a lower vcore weird:rolleyes:
