I have a happy OC at 4.7 GHz and 1.411v (measured). Since I don't need that all the time, I enabled all the C states and EIST in the BIOS, then went in to the Windows Power Plan and dropped the minimum processor state to 2200 MHz, cooling policy is Active. No sleep or hibernation enabled. There's really no point in enabling all those things if the voltage stays that high. It's bad enough the fans ramp up to take off speed when I open a browser (4.7 GHz really shouldn't be necessary to check email), but one issue at a time. I could always let the mobo do its 4.6 GHz OC thing with everything on Auto, but that seems like a cheesy way to go about it. Setting the vcore to Auto results in crashing when it spools up to full speed. I'm open to suggestions as to what I've missed. I don't want to run 1.4v+ vcore 24/7 as it just seems like unnecessary wear and tear. It's bad enough I'm running my RAM like that. LOL
This is how on a Gigabyte GA-z170x Gaming 7 Rev. 1.0 Other Giga boards in the series should be similar, if not identical.
CPU clock ratio set to 47 under Advanced Frequency Settings, then the sub heading Advanced CPU Core Settings Clock Ratio to 47.
Under Advanced Voltage Settings set CPU Vcore to Normal. That makes Dynamic Vcore Voltage available. I added the difference between the base voltage (1.215v) and my OC voltage (1.420v), which was .205v on the Dynamic Vcore Voltage line. Hit Save and Exit. I was happy to see the offset only set a ceiling, not a hard go-to number. I could only get it stable at 1.420v vcore, the mobo seems to be able to do it at 1.392v. Thanks to Lochekey and "Take a picture" Earthdog. I'll add this info here http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php/788284-My-6700k-4-7-GHz-(so-far) If readers don't want to suffer through my learning to read my BIOS.
Thanks again, guys.
