Not sure what you're not understanding.

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.

OK. 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.

I'm really confused with what you're trying to say. Didn't someone already mention that you need to use offset voltage if you want the CPU to downvolt when its idle.

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...

I remember there were two settings about offset voltage with ASRock. 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.

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.

(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.

I heard to find voltage with manual (guess he has already done that) and then just reproduce it with slight tweaks by adding/subtracting from VID or something like that

Still early speculation, but considering the thread was promptly re-opened certainly raises my concern haha.

What did I tell you guys? That if it made business sense for them on Ivy Bridge, it probably still would too in the future, so they wouldn't switch? >_>

New return rate of hardware post, one thing to note is that for GPU, it's always the "exotic" models that have a high return rate, like the overclocked models, or the models with a lot more memory than the reference model (like the 3go and 2go models, when most reference cards are still at 1go). So when the manufacturer (so Sapphire, ASUS, etc) engineers add features basically, it adds in unreliability.

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%)

Hello again...
I am still confused what to do. I need to ask how much I will need to invest to get enough performance.
Here is my story: Basicaly my parents can buy me a laptop. No they will not buy me a desktop. But I want it to perform "ok" or good enough to play games. But of course not at all close enough to a desktop. I will only use it in holidays.
What I want:
Sc2 @ 60fps low settings 1920x1080 - 15" or 17"

That said. I want to get something as cheap as possible to be nice to my parents. But at the same time the laptop must be good enough to practice sc2 and also DotA2 + Heroes of Newerth. I play every game on LOW settings. I hate blurr and effects. I am just for the game. (retired cs:s pro)

the CPU is the main focus.

Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated!



Anyone?

I don't even know where you are from.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834314016

Something like this would be what I'd buy if I had to buy one right now and if it was from that store(too lazy to check others), even though it's Acer. 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 have a question, so I have a new build with a new everything except for my old hard drive. My new system hooked up shows up blue screen of death. I have my old hard drive and a new SSD plugged into SATA but I am getting a blue screen of death shortly after windows starts loading. What could it be? It was fine in my old computer.

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?
Don't forget to get everyone you know to play HOTS so this game we love called Starcraft will live on. Every little bit helps. ^^

Probably doesn't like your drivers (the HDD contains drivers for many parts you no longer have). Can you boot into safe mode?

oh and i also can work through the bios and it wont blue screen on me in there.

this link sheds some insight, i also should have mentioned it was xp

"As many people know by now, XP does not like it when significant hardware changes take place in a machine. 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.
