OC A8-3870k - CPU better but graphics perf worse after OC - any ideas?

[Lordred]

Nope, Vcore and the iGPU are different.

One second. let me boot up mine and I'll tell you what its called again.

APU VDDP Voltage control. Default is 1.20v, safe it up to 1.3v, but the lower the better.

So far the highest I've seen people push the iGPU under the guise of actually still useable is 933mhz.

Thanks Lordred. The voltage description that are coming up withing my BIOS that I can change are
CPU Voltage
CPU NB/GFX Voltage
DRAM Voltage
NB Voltage
SB Voltage

I'll work on CPU NB/GFX voltage and I'll let you know.

thanks

Not sure if this will help shed some light on the subject but came across this today on Facebook / AMD .......

Overclocking guru Sami Makinen sat down with Tom’s Hardware to help you overclock your A8-3870K ....... http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/a8-3870k-apu-overclocking-guide,3260.html


Maybe something willl help with your OC.

Thanks for the post, good read.

I wish AMD stuck to the BE Black Edition name for this.
too many i-Ks going on...

BE sounded real cool from the marketing perspective
