Its a new one and instead of listing the voltage like normal it list the voltage in grey (non-adjustable) the only option is to add voltage... it looks like thisOriginally Posted by p4inkill3r
Is this a new motherboard or one you've used for a while?
1.048v is not the voltage the cpu runs at, at max clocks, normally (1.3v sounds more like it). The board might have picked some lower power state voltage to show you in that menu. Then again, normally you're not presented a cpu voltage reference for that in the bios like that, as the cpu wouldn't necessarily run at max clocks in bios, so. Guess MSI tried to give people a 'convenient' reference point...Originally Posted by jcrew3002

Voltage.................Manual Option
1.048v..................[+0.3000000v]
1.048v..................[+0.3100000v]
1.048v..................[+0.3200000v].
1.048v..................[+0.3300000v]
1.048v..................[+0.3400000v]
1.048v..................[+0.3500000v] (what I chose)
1.048v..................[+0.3600000v]
1.048v..................[+0.3700000v]
that should = 1.398v (1.4v)
instead it set it to 1.65v Almost fried my CPU
So the board was showing me the low power state? thats counter productive for overclockers and im not sure why MSI would think we care about low power state voltages let alone try to up the voltage? High Power States are where overclockers live what was MSI thinking.. Unless they are going for the "you can tweak literally anything: angle.Originally Posted by Tivan

No 8350 ever made has a VID of 1.048 volts. ( the range of 8350 I've owned/played with is from 1.28v to 1.38v) VID + offset = voltage applied in the case of my 990 Gaming.Originally Posted by jcrew3002

great... so do you want to limit it down to the actual model you are trying to use or are you condemning a whole line upOriginally Posted by jcrew3002
Just checked my BIOS to see why my CPU was running near 80c idle.. saw that My motherboard had the CPU voltage at 1.65v, I set it manual to 1.4v but the motherboard decided 1.65v was better..
Im calling out the MSI 990FX motherboard on this one. Bad design.
