Still priming, but most likely my 24/7 settings minus HT becase well...I'm a gamer and HT doesn't give me anything but heat.

Nilos, I have the identical cpu batch as you. I'm using 1.4 in bios, which gives 1.376 idle and returns with 1.344v load. QPI/VTT is at 1.335. To keep these levels air isn't going to cut it. I was capped at 200x20 on air.

Thats a pretty sweet improvement in temps and OC from air to water, can you list difference in vcore needed on air vs water per any OC when you find difference. Interested to see for example if need notch or two less vcore at same OC or if just requires same with water vs air.

Thanks man. So far voltages are identical, but I'll confirm that after a few more tests.

killer rev! what is vcore in bios, as well as your qpi and pll? 4.2 w/HT sick

haha, you know this Vcore in bios is 1.4v qpi is 1.335v and pll is 1.3v.

QPI pll 1.3v right?

I wouldn't think different cooling would make a difference to volts needed for stable clocks, unless you were temp-bound ie reaching tjmax and experiencing throttle.

Does the pencil mod work for anyone? I applied it but still seeing the same vdroop. Is it supposed to cut it out altogether or reduce it? I'm still setting for example 1.462v, getting 1.44v, and dropping to 1.42v under load.

Yeah, just wishful thinking on my part, when i take my rig outside, drop temps 20-25C, I need less vcore for a given mhz to load windows...and can go 90mhz higher for max clock....just did not know if get maybe 1 notch lower for smaller drop in C

physics is a beeyotch Less heat, less resistance.

Could you save your bios and post it here plz? Thanks...

last time I tried that Nilos, I lost my RAID arrays
