[SOLVED] i7-950 I have no control over Vcore

mikeyw · Dec 21, 2011

Hi

This is something I always found slightly odd. In my BIOS I am setting the Vcore to various voltages. At the moment I'm trying 1.400. But when I load CPU-Z it always says the same voltages.

I've tried this with LLC = standard, auto, level 1 and level 2. The BIOS seems to be ignoring my manual voltage command. At the moment it's 1.376.

Is there any way I can force the motherboard to give it 1.4V?

Thanks for any help

Have you got EIST and Intel Speed Step turned off?

Hi- yes I just tried it once more and took photos,

edit - and (photo 4) the voltage is certainly falling when under load, suggesting the LLC is switched off as "standard".

What you are seeing is not a new situation and there are few easy to find write-ups since X58 is getting pretty old now in "forum" years.
