OCing 1055T weirdness??

[newls1]

Currently i seem stable w/ my 1055t @ 4.061GHz but I feel like im using to many volts. I have 1.450 set in bios, which by all means is fine and fairly normal to achive this high clock on a 1055, this however is not my issue! My issue is that my motherboard OVERVOLTS like CRAZZZY!! setting 1.450v in BIOS correlates too 1.480 in windows (Still not bad) but under load (like P95, and other stress programs) volts go to 1.608 and hold steady. Please for the love of god, no one tell me I need to go into bios and adjust a setting, my BIOS is all set correctly, ITS THE DAMN BOARD I PROMISE!!! While waiting for MSI to release a bios update to hopefully fix this issue, I was wondering this: The setting (option) named CPU-NBv (NOT THE NB) really makes a huge difference for stability on my CPU, I currently have that option set to 1.30v, I see people run that up to 1.35+v I was wondering if I could lower CPU Vcore, and increase the CPU-NB voltage more and keep my stable OC?? See what im saying? I will say this though, even under 100% load on all 6 cores @ 1.608v, my temp even after setting a 10c offset in core temp is only 51c and holding...
Current OC is like this:
290x14 4.06GHz
CPU Vcore @ 1.450
CPU-NBv @ 1.30
NB v @ 1.218

I have other strange issues, but that is for another thread...... Thanks for any help or knowledge you can throw my way

this is normal if load line calibration is on try disabling it in the bios and see what happens it is also sometimes called llc

i dont have an option in bios for LLC I wish I did, all my past asus boards had that option but this MSI board doesnt

its either LLC(which is in the bios, you might have to hunt for it), or you have turbo still enabled which should to be disabled.

as far as the cpu-NB goes no raising it will not allow you to lower the cpu voltage. that is the voltage for the DDR2/3 IMC which is completely seperate from the cpu. 1.45v is pretty much the norm for that overclock on that processor. the reason for the cpu-NB effecting stability is because you were overclocking the NB as you overclocked the processor and thus requires more voltage to the IMC.

on another note, if the board came with any overclocking software that shows realtime voltages from the bios, i suggest using those. i have a problem with my asus board where all monitoring applications incorrectly read my cpu voltage except asus probe II.
