i see they removed CPU PLL Overvoltage... so that is probably his concern.

Doesn't affect my OC but I have D1 stepping so cpu pll overvotlage doesn't help. I am check LLC i doubt they did anything for LLC.

I was 5.0 100% stable now I'm having a hard time getting back there...
Even going back to F7e

yeh cpu pll removed as sin says , for me can't boot with the higher multis , but ok on normal multis, used same vcore as i did on f7e to boot from 54 multi and a no go i never checked if the vcore was actually lower than on f7e, might try it again but back to f7e for now

Why would they remove cpu pll overvoltage?

Is that a bug?

What happens if you set cpu pll voltage manually from 1.8 to 1.9 ? Does that do the same thing?

Im too lazy to try and find the voltage read points, I wish Giga would do what EVGA, ASUS, and MSI are doing on the high end boards and put easy read points on the board.

I wrote a OC guide/performance review of this board, i have voltage read points in there, CPU Vcore is pretty easy.

No CPU PLL overvoltage basically unlocks multipliers. The problem with it is that when its enabled it disabled S3 sleep. So maybe they should make it a special feature only accessible when you disable S3 sleep or something like that. Or have us hit alt+f4 like on the X58 GB boards unlocks spread spectrum.

Thanks.

Still cannot boot above 46x multi raising CPU PLL to 1.90v. That makes me wonder how high the voltage was with that setting enabled.

Since sin said that the settings aren't the same, and the overvoltage setting was designed only for unlocking higher multipliers, I guess that was still 1.8v, and it actually did something else. Maybe the s3 sleep disabling was related.

Um...now that I'm thinking, what happens if you change the sleep mode in power options?
Does Overvoltage reappear?

If you guys haven't given up in frustration yet, might as well try a hard power off (power off then unplug PSU for a few minutes) and see if you get the "double post" /overclocking failed, or if that has been resolved or not....

I could only boot above 46x multi before using Internal CPU PLL set to enabled or auto. Now it will not boot above 46x multi because the setting no longer exists, the multi in bios was already unlocked, or unlocked as high as I needed, couldnt boot above 52x no matter what voltage was used.

Normally I get the FE post code and it hangs, that happens 2 times then it will go to 70 and shut down, the next time it goes to 75 and allows me to get back into the bios.
