I posted this elsewhere and not getting any traction. Mostly trying to decipher the HWiNFO stuff.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a work @ home machine with the Hero X Z370, and I've dropped a 9900K in.
Since stability is key, I'm looking for a middle ground for performance. When using mostly auto and XMP settings, I noticed that my Vcore was spiking to 1.4V+ which is unnecessary.
I have attempted to setup the system to use the stock turbo speeds and adaptive with 1.3V, no offset (for a starting point). Edit: Now dropped to 1.25V.
Like:
XMP Enabled
MCE Disabled (with no response)
AVX offset - 3
SVID Enabled
SVID Best Case
Cpu Core/Cache Current Limit - Max
Adaptive Vcore - 1.25V
LLC=6
CPU Current - 140%
Long/Short Duration - Both Max
IA/DC LLC - 0.01
All of the Speedstep stuff is on.
Just kicking around and running some stress tests I seem to generally be maxing out at around Vcore=1.232V (VID 1.239V) with temps peaking at 79C with 1 hour Prime95 (no AVX). Package power <170W. I'm seeing occasional overshoot to 1.296V.
HWINFO is flagging the following:
-IA Max Turbo Limit
-RING: Max VR Voltage; ICCMax; PL4
-IA Turbo Attenuation (MCT)
I assume the turbo stuff is normal since the system is being forced to abide by the default Intel turbo bins.
I have no idea, even after research.. what the Ring: Max VR Voltage; ICCMax; PL4 flag is for. This is being flagged as Yes under all conditions including just idling along.
Thoughts on the HWINFO flags appreciated. -RING: Max VR Voltage; ICCMax; PL4 is the one I'm really trying to wrap my head around.
