How do I change my vCore in the BIOS?
Hey gang,
Ive overclocked and tweaked a lot before but this is stumping me. I have a 2700+ with a 1.65 vCore, but my stupid BIOS sets it as 1.6 for some reason. I go to Power Features or something like that and bump up CPU volage regulator to 1.65 but the vCore stays at 1.60. What the heckk do I do to change mt actual vCore. I have a very new Award BIOS version that should definetly support this. It reads my CPU as a 2700+ so what the heck? TIA

There might be an option to configure the CPU speed manually/automatically. Do you have an option similar to this, and if, is it set to manual? HTH

Floppyman, yes I have a manual setting and I had to choose the processor to be a 2700+. I think everything is in my control. But, for some reason I can't change the vCore.

Instead of choosing a processor type, can you somehow manually enter the speed/bus etc? HTH

yes, i can change multiplier and speed etc. but, for some reason the vCore doesn't change to what I want it to. I just read about a guy with the same problems. I then read about a BIOS fix that might do the trick. I'll try that...
Thanks for the help |

K, something is just so fishy and confusing here! I have the dreaded revision 1.1 of the board. (there is a "faster" 2.0 out). But that is not my problem. I flashed the newest BIOS and nothing did the trick.
WCPUID reads it as 1.600 and so does my BIOS. I have no clue why my board would be struggling to give the processor 1.650... I dont know what to do! |

Have you tried the next setting(1.75v) ?
It could just be the board is set to 1.65,but it feeds only 1.6v. If the system is stable at that setting,don't worry about it. |

Okay, Alfie you are absolutely right. For some reaon, I have to set it to 1.725 and it bumps the board up to 1.66, which is fine with me. I am still confused as to why that happened.
Thanks guys. |

Mobo's don't always take the same amount of power from the psu to supply the vcore, my vcore is set at 1.65v and shows at 1.69v, there are a lot of things that can change the voltage of your vcore. If the system is 100% stable (can run prime95 for days), don't even bother about changing the vcore.
