Default possible to go below deafult voltage in bios?

Is it possible to do this. im on stock clocks on my 920 and in CPU-Z it says 1.24v. i want to go way below that cuz i know 2.6GHZ doesnt need that much voltage.

It's very possible. That's actually one of the ways some people prefer to tweak their builds. I mean, some people prefer to do this instead of overclocking. Just be sure to do good stress testing so that you know it's stable.

What do you mean when you say that maybe you need to get your GPU drivers?

just set your overclock you want, dont touch the voltages, then if needed drop the volts.

or if your on stock, just try a random number below 1.24, make suer you enable OC recovery in the bios though
