Heya!
This is something I haven’t seen much, especially when I see YouTubers like JayzTwoCents, GamersNexus etc when they do CPU reviews and other CPU related content.
But they always seem to have reasonable voltages when they show HWINFO and their board BIOS, like 1.35 -1.45 depending.
But I can’t get a stable system unless the voltage is cranked this high.
The P-core SP is apparently 113 and the E-core SP is 85.
The board is a MATX ASUS Z690-G.
VRM LLC is set to 6 at the moment with DC IA at auto (0.49) and AC IA at 0.68.
I do have an OC applied at the moment, P-cores @ 56x and E-cores @ 45x.
When I reset everything the system won’t boot at stock/defaults unless I at least bump up the IA AC to around 0.78 to increase the voltage to at least around 1.5+ to be stable at stock with LLC 4 (DC IA 0.98).
Anyone else running a ASUS board have this issue? Or is it that common that it’s not really something to talk about as it’s part of why it runs so hot?
You must log in or register to comment.
UPDATE: I did a test on another board and ran into the same issue with not being able to boot into Windows on default settings, on a newly flashed BIOS that I had not used before.
As with my original board I got blue screens with thread exceptions and the like happening.
After making the changes I outlined in the original post is when I could boot to desktop and everything was working, just at high voltage and consequently high temps.
I’m talking to Intel support now as I guess as some comments have pointed out, the CPU is very likely defective 😞
