vCore and QPI question

I'm lowering my vCore down, it's at 1.30v but when I lower my vCore does my QPI voltage lower aswell? My QPI is at 1.26v. I'm wanting to reach 1.27 or lower vCore.

thanks

You have to adjust each one separately.

So is it better to have the vCore and QPI low? Also is it best to have the QPI lower then the vCore or it doesn't matter?

Thanks for responding, these questions may seem very noob but i'm still learning.

It's best to have them as low as possible, but still fully stable. Don't sacrifice stability for lower voltages. It doesn't really matter which is lower. Welcome to OCN by the way.

you know when your system is stable when you don't receive BSOD?

Stress testing is the the only way to ensure stability. Prime95, Orthos, OCCT, and IntelBurnTest are all CPU stress test programs.

Run prime95 for ~8 hours. If that doesn't crash, you're stable.
