Although it doesnt seem to change it. I dont really know. The bios seems a bit buggy to me. especially the wrong vcore auto setting (yes I check the bios for the real voltage.its the same with pcprobe)
The problem is i dont know if its the bios that doesnt set cpu nb or aod that cant read/set it.

Also for the cpu voltage. Isn't there a danger from high cpu voltage regardless of the temperature? thats what i'm asking. eg is 1.6V dangerous even with 30C temp at load?whats safe?

I'm trying to get the max 24/7 oc with the stock cooler(+AS5) and my current goal is 3.2GHz with minimum vcore (prime stable). Anything above 1.4V seems pushing it.or i could go a bit more? I`m at 60C now with 3GHz@1.4V. I mean I'd like 3.2G with 1.4Vcore so I`m trying stuff like cpu NB vid, unganged ram, acc etc but no luck so far.
Well of course too much v core is bad even with good temps. But I say 1.4v to 1.5v is fine for everyday use. Once you start going over 1.5 or close to 1.6v, its pushing it to me. Although it can last a while like that, you are definitely pushing it. Did you disable CPU tweak??
