Dynamic voltage as known on Gigabyte boards or Offset voltage as it is more commonly known is basically auto voltage. VID is voltage identification. It's built in and is always suppose to change with various loads. It's the voltage that the processor is asking for to run at the specified speed. | ||

So why did CPU-Z report a massive voltage change under load? I'm thinking it's because, since I never set a manual voltage, since I had TB 46x (up from stock 34x), it applied the TB extra voltage thingy (which is inefficient I presume). So the dynamic voltages only applies to vid? Well I can ignore that then, because it was already adjusting to the clock speed beforehand (when I had the dynamic voltage not being used), from 0.9 to 1.2 depending on the frequency. How then, do I achieve undervolting at an idle state. My CPU is downclocking correctly to 1600mhz at idle, but not undervolting. I assume it would do well for the CPU not to be at 1.28v all the time (I know Ivies are tolerant, and 1.28 isn't a lot, and that I'm also a conservative PC user - but if I can set it to undervolt correctly at 1600mhz idle speed, I will). I'm sorry for being slow  I'm tired and not at the computer anymore. I will tackle this again I Friday or tomorrow night anyways.Thanks very much. | ||

You set offset to +0.18v which is why it went up to 1.4v? You never mentioned what your load VID was. | ||

You set offset to +0.18v which is why it went up to 1.4v? You never mentioned what your load VID was. I was going to explain what I mean, and had a lot written out, but I think I'm wasting my time at this time while being very tired. Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it, I will do proper testing tomorrow and try to match your explanations with the messing with of settings by myself; hopefully then, I can come back with less confusing questions  Thanks very much... | ||

OK. So why did CPU-Z report a massive voltage change under load? Your VID isnt a voltage being supplied to the CPU, you should read up on what VID is. It will change depending on the load of your CPU, etc. If you set your voltage to be VID + 0.2v - when your VID changes, your vcore will too. | ||

One seemed like it would add a little voltage with each turbo multiplier step, and another one was the offset voltage that's added to VID like with other boards. That might lead to confusion discussing offset voltage with other people. + Show Spoiler + Intel Turbo Boost Technology Use this item to enable or disable Intel Turbo Boost Mode Technology. Turbo Boost Mode allows processor cores to run faster than marked frequency in specific conditions. The default value is [Enabled]. Additional Turbo Voltage Use this item to add voltage when CPU is in Turbo mode. Internal PLL Overvoltage Use this item to enable/disable CPU Internal PLL Overvoltage Function. Voltage Configuration Applying too much voltage to the CPU may cause damages to both the CPU and the motherboard, please select an appropriate (CPU/VTT/VCCSA/CPU PLL) voltage. Overclocking should be done at your own risk and expense. Extreme Voltage Use this to enable or disable extreme voltage. The default value is [Disabled]. PWM Switching Frequency Use this to adjust PWM switching frequency. The default value is [Auto]. PWM Current Threshold This option provides low, middle and high three modes of current threshold. Configuration options: [Auto], [Gamer (low current)], [enthusiasm (middle current)] and [Extreme Ln2 OC (high current)]. The default value is [Auto]. CPU Voltage Use this to select CPU Voltage. Configuration options: [Auto], [Offset Mode] and [Fixed Mode]. The default value is [Auto]. CPU Load-Line Calibration CPU Load-Line Calibration helps prevent CPU voltage droop when the system is under heavy load. IGPU Voltage Use this to select IGPU Voltage. The default value is [Auto]. IGPU Load-Line Calibration IGPU Load-Line Calibration helps prevent IGPU voltage droop when the system is under heavy load. DRAM Voltage Use this to select DRAM Voltage. The default value is [Auto]. VTT CPU 1 Voltage Use this to select VTT CPU 1 Voltage. The default value is [Auto]. VTT CPU 2 Voltage Use this to select VTT CPU 2 Voltage. The default value is [Auto]. VCCSA Voltage Use this to select VCCSA Voltage. The default value is [Auto]. VTT DDR Voltage Use this to select VTT DDR Voltage. The default value is [Auto]. PCH 1 Voltage Use this to select PCH 1 Voltage. The default value is [Auto]. PCH 2 Voltage Use this to select PCH 2 Voltage. The default value is [Auto]. PCH DMI Voltage Use this to select PCH DMI Voltage. The default value is [Auto]. PCH DMI COMP Strength Use this to select PCH DMI COMP Strength. The default value is [Auto]. XCLK RCOMP Strength Use this to select XCLK RCOMP Strength. The default value is [Auto]. CPU PLL Voltage Use this to select CPU PLL Voltage. The default value is [Auto]. (From my manual) Anyway, if you want to do offset and get it stable, start with it on automatic / offset mode, but DON'T use an offset. Instead, increment the offset one step at a time from 0 until you can boot into windows, then test stability/temps and keep incrementing until its stable or too hot / too much voltage (you should run into temp problems long before extreme voltage problems). It's just like how you wouldn't start trying to OC at 5Ghz. Work your way up. | ||

Still early speculation, but considering the thread was promptly re-opened certainly raises my concern haha. Better get the hammer/vice ready. | ||

The SSD numbers are more or less the same, with 2 OCZ models, Petrol SATA 3 and Octane SATA 2, at 39,79 et 36,13%. - Samsung 0,05% (contre 0,48%) - Plextor 0,16% (N/A) - Intel 0,37% (contre 0,45%) - Crucial 1,12% (contre 1,11%) - Corsair 1,61% (contre 1,05%) - OCZ 6,64% (contre 5,02%) http://www.hardware.fr/articles/893-1/taux-retour-composants-8.html | ||

That graphics card is really good for that price, destroying all those games on low. By the way, 1080p for such a small screen isn't really a good idea in my opinion. It becomes tough to see and you'll require an increasingly powerful graphics card as well. However, that laptop can play SC2 on low on an external 1080p screen if need be. Someone already asked! :D I'm from Norway. | ||

Things it maybe could be: my bios isnt set up at all, like what it boots from im not 100% sure i plugged it in the right place, one of the SATA is white and the SSD is in there the SSD doesn't have an OS on it, but the reg hard drive does Ideas? | ||

If you have every tried swapping a motherboard or moving a hard drive from one computer to another you have probably seen the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death)." Looks like if u change motherboards the hard drive will blue screen every time for XP unless you do a fresh install or you do some kind of safe mode thing. I'll go for fresh install. | ||
