i dont think so..that must be "auto"..or ur mobo have a issue that large vcore fluctuation... the stock vcore i think must be 1.35v or below..
tried unlock?

my fren is usin M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3.. i'm usin gigabyte g33m...

Stock vcore is 1.375 if not mistaken ...
Tried unlock but no luck .. Set all core to 0% only can boot but with 2 cores only.. -2%,+2%,-4%,+4%,-8% & +8% cannot start.. Other settings haven't try..

Currently stable at 3757MHz only.. touching 60c..
Need a better cooler to go further..

to unlock you need to change the ACC firmware

can like me join meh?

AMD Athlon II X4 620 @ 3003Mhz 1.3v CPU , 1.15v NB | M4A77TD-PRO | Kingston KVR1333 DDR3


AMD Athlon II X4 620 @ 3120Mhz 1.35v CPU , 1.2v NB | M4A77TD-PRO | Kingston KVR1333 DDR3


Im still on stock cooler
juz add 0.5v and 100Mhz more can make 7c More Hot

my stock core is 1.35v.....better change to after market cooler...

Oh.. ? Can you please advise?

Ic... Don't know why mine is 1.375v ...

I don't feel like changing to aftermarket cooler for AMD because can't do much .. Say maybe 4Ghz max only..
If intel different la.. Put in better cooler.. From 3Ghz can go to 4.3Ghz~4.5Ghz ..

I set 1.376v at the BIOS to prevent AUTO setting but in windows when stressing.. The vcore already increase to 1.400~1.408 .. WTH wif this mobo?

Now set 1.360 in BIOS.. I get 1.384~1.392 ..

better cooler can reduce temp, some can push even further..
most important it's stable..

Yea I do understand that.. Longer lifespan also..

Later I will try to find the lowest vcore so the max load temp will be around 55c ...

Anyway, do you guys have trouble like overvolting? My MSI 770 C45 at 0.026~0.032?

tat overvolting is normal for AMD
example
setting in bios 1.35 ..in windows on idle is around 1.35 +-0.01/2
when load should been a lit more maybe -+ 0.02/-+0.025

vdrop/vdroop is normal.. no mobo is perfect..

I prefer the one with very accurate increament/decreament of voltage settings.

I forgot what mobo.. i think Asus got volts increament.

Normal one like 1.42V increase 1.45V..no option to choose 1.43 or 1.44 - -..

What mobo have very specific increament?

Oh.. I play Intel is Vdrop.. AMD is VIncrease?

acc and EC firmware..not acc firmware
but not on all manufacturer..

u mean fine increament?
older bios of msi 770 c45 iirc..newer bios i have no idea..
but no idea about the volt fluctuation tho..fogot edi

even w/ new bios voltage increment will still be d same... it's not bios related issue, more of hardware limitation.

guys,
what do you think??

790fx or 8 series chipset??
itchy to upgrade...........i want future proof maybe till bulldozer?
hehhe

8 series

AMD said most 8 Series chipset will be compatible with Bulldozer..

8 series la ofcourse.. coz most got usb3 sata3 ddr3.. price also not much diff

yeah..i tot so..

but not so much mobo option with good price..
<450..


that 870a-ud3 looks nice..but i prefer ahsus...

anything more to recommend bro?

ahsos = overpriced... 870a is d perfect choice if u dun mind it bein non full sized atx board.

p/s: but i gotta say ahsos evo boads are windows oc firendly, coz evo boards come w/ evo super i/o chip, mean u can alter voltages htt/cpu multi accurately in windows usin turbo-v software, a very useful tool which similar to aod minus d ram timin adjust. ahsos software is d best to date but it does come w/ a price...
