    Official ASUS P8P67 Series Overclocking Guide and Information

    I've found that disabling all C-states (C1/C3/C6) keeps the CPU at the turbo multiplier indefinitely even with EIST enabled.

    SB Overclocking results?

    This cracks me up. If you can't even use your CPU without worrying about it dying on you then its clock frequency is completely irrelevant.

    SB Overclocking results?

    Makes you wonder how that voltage was determined automatically when the max programmable VID is 1.52V. Sounds like it's extrapolating.

    P8P67 : Explain CPU voltage offset ?

    I think the closest you can get is to use offset and to make sure that load line calibration is disabled. Then you need to temporarily disable EIST and C1E/C3/C6 to determine how your offset effects the idle voltage at the turbo multiplier (I consider this the max voltage). Once you find a...

    P8P67 : Explain CPU voltage offset ?

    I turn off EIST and C1E to determine the idle voltage at the turbo multiplier because otherwise you only see the full load voltage when it goes into turbo mode.

    Official ASUS P8P67 Series Overclocking Guide and Information

    My biggest complaint with offset in conjunction with EIST and C1E is that single-core load voltage is less than all-cores load voltage. This is a source of instability when used together with load line calibration. Now, what I'm suggesting is that by setting the voltage manually for turbo mode...

    I'm not sure if this has been suggested yet, but it would be awesome if we had the option to set the voltage manually for the turbo multiplier while keeping default voltages for the non-turbo multipliers.

    Usefulness of C1E/Speedstep/EIST when using a static/specified Vcore?

    It would be nice if there were an option to have manually set voltages apply only to the turbo multiplier.

    Usefulness of C1E/Speedstep/EIST when using a static/specified Vcore?

    I'm also curious about this. Especially how it will effect longevity. VID is not the same as vcore. Your CPU has a unique VID for each multiplier that was set during manufacturing. It's basically a guideline for the amount of voltage required to ensure stable operation. See the following for...

    P8P67 : Explain CPU voltage offset ?

    My tests have shown that offset = auto is not the same as offset = 0 (which is not an option). Indeed, after experimenting with it, I've found that offset = auto is about the same as offset = +0.030 with a 43x multiplier on my CPU, both of which yield an idle voltage of around 1.33.

    I'm using offset, and I've found that it doesn't work too well in conjunction with LLC. For example, I thought that I was stable at 44x with an offset of -0.02V and LLC set to high (50%), but I was only really stable at full load because that's when LLC compensates for vdroop. Otherwise, my idle...

    Official ASUS P8P67 Series Overclocking Guide and Information

    Are you saying that offset uses the previously set "manual" voltage as its base? I was under the impression that offset always uses the VID as its base.

    SB Overclocking results?

    That's pretty much exactly what I did except I disabled LLC completely. The additional voltage that I need to keep it stable when stressing a single core gives me plenty of room for vdroop when all cores are loaded, so LLC isn't really necessary in this case. It's unfortunate because it means...

    The thing that confused me most about this is that offset = auto is not the same as offset = 0 (which is not available). Indeed, after experimenting with it, I've found that offset = auto is about the same as offset = +0.030 with a 43x multiplier on my CPU, both of which yield an idle voltage of...

    I think the offset that you linked is a different kind of offset from what they're asking.
