I have tried a variety of settings in my sig rig in the DIGI+ power menu inside the BIOS, and I have still failed to smooth out all the voltages.
For those with signatures hidden, system specs are following:
year 2017 FX 8320E
G.Skill TridentX 2400, 2x8gb 10-12-12-31-43-2T
Crosshair 5 Formula Z
EVGA Supernova G2 850watt
rest un needed concerning todays thread.
EDIT using HWinFO64 5.96
CPU/NB graph seriously spikes between 1.349 and 1.396. at random intervals, if I hit the fit Y button again, I have seen as low as 1.33 something and 1.4 something,, apparently catching very rare huge spikes and dips
Vcore graph is very nice, flat and with a few very minor dips and peaks with a tiny difference. Love it.
VIN0 graph is spiking between 1.488 and 1.515, excessive activity, but a little less than the cpu-nb is
voltage ranges were seen by hitting the fit-Y button on HWinfo64
currently, sitting at DIGI+ settings of 140% cpu current, fast power response on cpu and nb, HIGH llc cpu, HIGH llc on northbridge. VRM settings are at extreme for current balancing, and frequencies of power delivery are in middle range. 420 on cpu, and 350k for ram
changing settings appears to do nothing to aleviate this issue.
going back to full factory clocks and voltages, the cpu runs 3.2 GHZ at 1.175 volts quite happily and al;most removes all spikes related to CPU.
northbridge, even at a clock of 2400mhz and the necessary 1.20 volts to keep it happy, still has lots of spiking but range is closed to around a 0.1 difference.
Apologies for no screen shots, I dont have any online hosting
My biggest question regarding this, is this a sign of this motherboard beginning to fail? I did not see this level of spiking with any previous cpus, though I muist admit, I did not pay attention to voltage and temperature conditions nearly as much as I am now with this new-to-me 8320e which actually can run a 2800MHz northbridge during testing. and thats with a minor ram overlcok towards 2500MHz and a command rate of 1!
