Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Auto will decide what you need based on load. Adaptive mode allows you to dial in a core voltage of your choosing and will lower it at idle. The CPU will still draw extra voltage if it doesn't have enough under load.
Yes, running stock clock on Auto is fine for everyday use. Adaptive mode will require a manual core voltage set but clocks down when idle much like Auto.
Running synthetic tests in Auto or Adaptive modes is not recommended and will not yield any desirable results other than to tell you your...
Yes it will. It doesn't matter what voltage mode you set. If your Power Plan in Windows is set to 'Balanced' your core clock will drop to 0.8 Ghz at idle and boost to 4.4Ghz at load.
I have the Corsair Vengeance Pro 2x8GB kit. At 47x and lower I can run System Agent on Auto but at 48x I needed to offset to 1.20v to run XMP at 2400MHz.
I am in Manual mode. CPU, Cache, Input and System Agent are all manually dialed in. If you have EIST enabled and Balanced is selected in your...
Here's how my Vietnam chip performs with the Hero. Your results may vary of course:
44x 1.10v
45x 1.135v
46x 1.18v
47x 1.21v
48x 1.275v
49x 1.29v Can Post but haven't tested.
50x 1.35v Can Post but haven't tested.
XMP is enabled running at 2400MHz.
You can see why from 47x to 48x took some...
