Offset CPU OC Voltage Jump Question

Before I managed a stable multiplier of 42 (4.2Ghz) with very small negative offset.

No such luck with multiplier of 43 (BSOD), so I switched to a positive offset.

I also tried the "auto" setting - and I must ask, with what body part did ASUS configure the auto offset feature!? It sure wasn't their head - CPU-Z was reporting a CPU frying 1.36 V for 43 multiplier. Quickly rebooted and removed that - bad newegg review coming up (this one of many complains I found against the motherboard I bought)...

Anyway, I am now running at about a positive .12 V (I think - I am typing this on that PC) offset (after many BSODs to having too little juice).

At 1.6Ghz, i5 is being supplied with 1.032 to 1.040 V

When the i5 runs at its OC frequency (stable via Intel Burn Test V2 and temp of up to 78C or 70 with prime95 for a few hours) at a multiplier of 45.

When something like IntelBurnTest or Prime95 is running the voltage is ~ 1.22-1.23 when all four cores are utilized.

But when just booted up, or switching clock speeds, or just running prime95 with 1 thread - the voltage is a skyrocketing 1.272.

When running two threads of Prime95 the voltage is 1.248 -1.256

When running three threads if Prime95 the voltage is 1.232

LLC is regular AFAIK.

This makes no sense to me. Can someone explain this? I am probably doing something a bit wrong.

      Thank you for replying! Is MP600 also good? Where I'm looking they don't have MP700. I was also looking at Corsair T500, that comes with heatsink.

    • Amazon Deal: This Vifa Stockholm 2.0 is one of the best sounding bluetooth speakers

      Amazon Deal: This Vifa Stockholm 2.0 is one of the best sounding bluetooth speakers by Sayan Sen A few days back we covered some great JBL bluetooth speaker deals across several of its popular models. The discounts are still live and you can check them out in this dedicated piece. Meanwhile for those who prefer more powerful home cinema sound systems, Nakamichi and Samsung are offering the Dragon and Shockwafe models, and the Q-series models, respectively, at their best ever prices. However, if you are someone who is looking for a bit of both, the portability of a bluetooth speaker and the fidelity of a good sounding hi-fi system then the Vifa Stockholm 2.0 Bluetooth Soundbar is something you should look at as it's currently a nice deal (purchase link under the specs table below). While you are not getting a subwoofer with the Vifa Stockholm as it is a 2.0 system, Vifa promises lows down to 42 Hz at +3dB and that should be pretty good for a device lacking a dedicated bass unit; it does pack passive radiators to help with the bass. The Stockholm 2.0 is praised for its sound quality (SQ) and one of the reasons behind it is becasue it has three-way drivers. The technical specifications of the Vifa Stockholm 2.0 Bluetooth Soundbar are given below: Specification Frequency Response 42 Hz – 20 kHz @ ±3 dB Materials Frame: One-piece die-cast aluminium; Enclosure: ABS reinforced; Grills: Kvadrat textile Connectivity Bluetooth® Qualcomm aptX™ HD audio; Wi-Fi Direct & networked (2.4 GHz); Wired optical or analog (3.5 mm mini-jack); USB-disk; Vifa®HOME, Vifa®LINK, Vifa®PLAY Driver Units Tweeter: 2 × 28 mm soft-dome drivers; Midrange: 2 × 80 mm aluminium-cone drivers; Woofer: 4 × 100 mm flat sandwich-cone drivers (force-balanced, backed by 4 passive radiators) Other Features Apple AirPlay & DLNA streaming; DSP signal processing; 6-channel high-performance power amplifier Get it at the link below: Vifa Stockholm 2.0 Bluetooth Soundbar, Nordic Design Soundbar, Smart APP Multi-Room System (Slate Black): $1156.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
