Help!!!!!!!!!

**moorhen2** · 06-08-2010, 10:29 AM

Sorry to sound like a "noob",just got my Gigabyte 890FXA UD7 up and running,but one thing concerns me is the high cpu vid,on all of my other boards i have had this set to 1.300v,but core temp showing 1.475v,i must admit this is the first Gigabyte board i have owned,and the bios takes some getting used to,lol!!,a bit of help from you Giga experts would be most helpfull.

There are several boards that get the VID wrong, perhaps wait for a BIOS update?

Just set voltage manually in bios. I already told them that board defaults to high.

Apparently you have no idea what that vid value is about ;D Nothing to worry about, just look at the CPU-Z window.

If I understood right, he already had it set to 1.3V manually - according to text.

Thanks chew*,but i am not sure how to do this in the bios,god i sound like a right idiot,but this bios is not like any other i have used.

On my MSI boards this always related to the VDD voltage.

You understood wrong.

Moorhen I will take a shot of what to change later tonight. Kind of tied up atm.

No problem chew*,thanks for your help.

**dinos22** · 06-08-2010, 10:16 PM

i shot off an email to have the bios correct the default voltage. That looks a tad high lol

**OCD-OC** · 06-09-2010, 03:49 AM

Here you go

see the very bottom setting ... says normal 1.475 ?? thats the bugger .... you put in on Manual not AUTO and it drops to 1.3 ish .. or set it to anything around 1.375 or 1.4 . I got to 4Ghz on water just by upping the multi to x20 and the NBv to 1.2

**FlanK3r** · 06-09-2010, 04:39 AM

i had stranges with VID in Coretemp, if i set example one step in BIOS and next step in AOD...sometimes with ex. 1.488V was VID 1.425 and sometimes with diferent steps was 1.488V VID 1.45V

Thanks for the reply,but thats just how i have the bios set,still cant get the vid down from 1.475,i'm on bios F2a,i might try the official F2,dont know if this will help,?????

It's not actually a problem but rather a reporting bug. My 890FXA-UD5 is the same way. What is actually happening is that the BIOS is listing the highest P-state for the CPU there (and that is also what CoreTemp reads) even if you're not using Turbo or in turbo mode at the time (but enabled). The real, active VID is 1.300V and that is what CPU-Z is reading. You'll notice that if you adjust your voltage manually and say select to add 0.025V, it'll actually show that it is going to apply 1.325V over to the right instead of the expected 1.500V if the 1.475V below shown as "Normal" were right.

In short: Your actual VID and vCore is indeed 1.300V, not 1.475V. You aren't going to fry anything.

Thanks Particle,thought i was going mad,lol!!!

actually I think your wrong. unless you think 4 gig stable at default 1.25v is normal? which is actuallly 1.475 and what the chip needs for 4 gig prime stable.

His post isn't very clear but I believe has was at 1.3v or maybe evey 1.4v

The 965 C3's did 3.8-3.9 on 1.4v so I can definately see Thuban doing 4 Ghz on 1.35-1.4v

thuban ref vid is 1.25.....much lower than 955/965

Of course not. Under the same situation though, I can't even POST at 3.6GHz. That would be unusual for 1.475V. Given the evidence, I do think my interpretation is correct.

I think my OP was very clear,any other board i have i can set the vid to 1.300v,which shows correctly in core temp,but not on the Gigabyte,on my MSI's the core temp vid equated to the CPU VDD voltage set in the bios.

As Chew*has mentioned,ther is a voltage problem with the boards bios,and he has informed the relevent people about it.

Just for info,i did a fresh OS install,left bios at default settings,and guess what,core temp showed vid of 1.300v,as soon as "turbo core"is disabled it showed 1.475v in core temp.So it must be a bios issue.???

**OCD-OC** · 06-09-2010, 08:29 AM

in OCCT my UD7 lists vCore as 1.3 when I ran on auto

I changed to manual in BIOS .. the screen shot above

if I go into the setting above the 1.475 and change the volts it goes to 1.325v
