E7200 overclock
Hi guys, I have e7200@3.53Ghz for over a year now. Motherboard is gigabyte p45 ud3lr. I'd say it's an excllent sample. I overclocked it straight to 3.5ghz a year ago and the processor got an automatic vcore increase (according to cpu-z to 1.264) Now, i decided to push it a little further and overclocked it to 4Ghz (do not wish more because the processor is running on a crappy box cooler) In order to keep it stable at 4.01Ghz i had to increase vcore manually in bios to 1.39375v. The problem is, i don't know the real vcore. Although i set vcore to 1.39375v, upon reboot bios Health section reads vcore 1.36v Cpu-z also reads the lower value then the one i manually set.
What CPU core voltages to believe? The one i set in bios or the one Bios reads afterwards, or none of them? Intel processor specification says that max safe vcore for this processor is 1.3675, and i would like to obay that. If i am to listen to what my Bios health section says or what cpu-z reads, i am ok. However, if the vcore is what i set it to be (1.39v) i'd rather lower the clock.
Tnx for advice
