Hi everyone, new member here at overclockers. I am a big member in another forum, but I come here for extra help.
I recently upgraded my 960t to a 6100. I got it up and running, but the voltage settings in my BIOS are conflicting with standard voltage. Here is my setup:
Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 AM3+
BIOS version: F5 (The most recent)
FX 6100
CM Hyper 212+
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 570 1.25 GB
G. Skill Ripjaws X 8GB 1600Mhz 8-8-8-24
Corsair Force Series 3 90GB
WD Black 750GB
CM Storm Sniper
Corsair TX650
Asus Xonar D1 7.1
Windows 7 pro 64-bit
In BIOS, I have the following disabled:
Core Performance boost
AMD C1E Support
AMD C6 Support
Virtualization
AMD K8 Cool&Quiet Control
AMD APM Master Mode
In my BIOS, under M.I.T., it shows on the very bottom under the voltage settings:
CPU Voltage control: (blank)
Under that in blue lettering:
Normal CPU vCore: 1.4125
When I bump up the voltage by .025, it shows by where it says (blank) that the voltage is 1.275.
I've talked to another member on another forum and he said that the stock voltage for the 6100 is 1.35v. He has the same board and chip as me.
When I change the CPU Voltage Control to 1.40v, I go to the PC health status section in BIOS and it says my voltage is 1.34v.
I boot into windows and run CPU-z and HWmonitor. Both report the voltage at 1.34v.
Seems like voltage in MIT is conflicting with PC health status and CPU-z/HWmonitor in windows. How can I be sure which is the correct voltage?
I emailed both AMD and Gigabyte, and AMD responded saying I should disabled Line Control setting to avoid overvolting.
What should I do? I've had this chip for a couple of days and I've been dying to see what it can do.
Thanks!
