...And one more question-I have two values in the BIOS I can change: NB voltage and CPU VID NB.
When I start upping the multi further, which one do I use?
I got an answer in another thread, so I'm not looking for one here. What I'm talking about is the setting to change the voltage to the: CPU/NB...or CPU-NB...or CPUNB...or CPU VID NB...or CPU NB...
This created some confusion for me. It seems like I'm not alone:
...but for some reason giving it extra CPU-NB (voltage) will improve stability at higher CPU frequency. I don't know why, but I've tested it numerous times to be true...
...and bump the cpu nb vid to 1.2...
..and CPUNB (or just "NB")...
...and the NB (or CPUNB)...
I've found these multiple ways of saying this elsewhere on the web also. I now think it's because this setting appears differently depending on the manufacturer, board, and BIOS used. I actually had to post a phone pic screenshot of my BIOS to get an answer.
Manufacturer, board, and BIOS info I think would be extremely helpful when talking about this. There's no way for us to know what every BIOS looks like, but here's a start:
On my Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3, BIOS ver F6, this setting appears as CPU VID NB
