its the 3570k with a p8z77 v-lxOriginally Posted by LilScrappyD
it's because of a what's referred to as VDROOP.
this can be counteracted by your LOAD LINE CALIBRATION settings.
what kind of processor and motherboard do you have?
probably a sandy/ivy or fx series right?

ok thanks ive turned it to extreme, with the multi core enhancment, should that be enabled or disabled?Originally Posted by LilScrappyD
if you dislike this drop in voltage,
increase your load line calibration to the maximum.
It should stay at a lower idle voltage and increase a little under load.
on your motherboard it should be labeled as "extreme"
there are five settings, choose the highest one.
just make sure you stress test of course.
I hav my cpu sitting at 4.7ghz with 1.28v , so I should turn it off? I did turn it off earlier but the only difference I noticed is it allowed my cpu to idle at 1.6? atm it just sits at a 24/7 4.7Originally Posted by Dopamin3
Multi core enhancement has nothing to do with LoadLine Calibration. Multi core enhancement basically puts the highest turbo multiplier on all cores under load. Let's say you have a 3770k. The base frequency is 3.5ghz. Under normal circumstances, it will be at 3.9ghz if one or two cores are being stressed, 3.8ghz if 3 cores and being stressed, or 3.7ghz if all 4 are under stress. If you enable multi core enhancement, it automatically puts the turbo multiplier to 39 under any load situation, regardless of how many cores are being utilized.
So basically it results in faster performance, but the offside is a little more heat and power consumption. You should be overclocking anyway past the highest turbo frequency, even at stock voltage you should be able to achieve higher than the highest turbo multi (most 3770ks get to ~4.2ghz give or take 200mhz on stock voltage). It's up to you, I would keep it enabled if you're at stock but you should be overclocking anyway so once overclocking comes into account it doesn't matter.
LLC controls vdroop under load, which for overclocking typically you want a more steady voltage rather than a drop off. I recommend setting it to ultra high on Asus, but again this is irrelevant compared to multi core enhancement.
that's up to you. some may experience lower idle temperatures with it off.Originally Posted by imolate
