Before I go further, I have to agree that this is indeed an easier way to go about this!  Thank you for showing me that we can do it this way.

In the UEFI BIOS, make Ai Overclock Tuner set to Manual

Disable Internal PLL Overvoltage

Change VCore PWM Mode over to Extreme (the default is T.Probe)

Set the Load-Line Calibration to Ultra

Set VCore Switching Frequency to Auto

Set VCore Phase Control to Extreme

Set Extreme OV to Disabled


Set CPU Voltage to Offset Mode (it's currently set to Manual Mode)

Set CPU Offset Mode sign to the minus sign

Set CPU Offset Voltage to 0.020 (if it ends up being slightly too high for what you actually need for stability, then change it to 0.025 which will lower it by exactly 0.005V)

Everything else beneath these settings in the UEFI BIOS can be set to Auto except for CPU Spread Spectrum:  set that to Enabled


In the Advanced tab, open up "CPU Configuration" and disable both "CPU C3 Report" and "CPU C6 Report", but make sure CPU C1E is enabled.  Also, make sure Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology is enabled.

Speaking of which, go back to Extreme Tweaker\ CPU Performance Settings > and make sure Speedstep is enabled there too.


Save and Exit and see what happens.  If you can boot into Windows, then I'd like to see what CPU-Z says the voltage is.  However, if it's nice and low (like 1.048V or lower or something), then this means the Offset is working correctly.  At that point, run Prime95 Blend for a few seconds to check the full-load voltage in CPU-Z.  I am hoping that we see about 1.344V under full load with all of these settings set exactly like this.

Thank you, tw23!
I'll try once I get home smile.gif !
Thanks wink.gif .

But sorry, I've got a question... How is my idle voltage going to be 1.048V, if it is 1.328? And we are lowering by only .20?
Sorry if that is a stupid question lol.

thanks a lot smile.gif !

If you are getting that OC at that Voltage that is a great chip.thumb.gif

Oh oops, I forgot to explain that. hehe  If it's working correctly, then it would idle about that low!  smile.gif  When under load, it would go up to the higher voltage that's needed for stability under load.

 

So yeah, it's a pretty intelligent (and perfect) design.  Yay Intel!  hehe

Dude you need to write a book or a online guide or something you are the man.I wish I could get my voltage to 1.39 but at 4,7 GHz I doubt I could but on the bright side I max out at 1.42 Volts when doing heavy gaming and stress testing.thumb.gif

Oh, that's not so bad.  I mean sure, it needs a higher core voltage, but at least it's still safe!  So it would suck if you needed that for only 4.5 or 4.6 GHz. hehe

Okay, here are my results:
First of all, I had to set VCore Phase Control to Optimize or else it wouldn't let me change to Offset Mode.
Second of all, it is way to high. Like 1.392 to 1.400
Should I increase it?

Is the Offset Mode Sign set to the minus sign or the plus sign?

 

Also, what offset voltage did you enter?
