I have a question for the CH IV guys. Just started playing with this board and it seems to over volt quite a bit. For eg. for 4.2 Ghz, am running prime and it moves from the 1.45v i set in bios to 1.50V....now thats a huge movement in voltages. This is basically becasue of CPU load calibaration being on. When I put it off, it undervolts and basically black/blue screens during testing...Damn I cant get the volatages to be stable. On my earlier board, the MSI 790FX GD70, it would undervolt a bit, but would generally stay in the same range. In this board, it either undervolts or overvolts a lot. Now the issue for me is that even with a water cooled system, I am touching 60 degrees on the cpu when running it at 4.2 Ghz 1.5V (1.45V in bios). Can someone help me here.
just have to get used to chIV overvolting so much what is your water set up? i was able to run 1.56v @ load with temps around 55-56c but i have 3x120 worth of very high fpi rads with some 100+cfm fans on them to keep those temps. x6 gets much hotter than x4 with same volts, but is usually able to get higher freq with same volts
