Reputation: 0 ![]() Rep Power: 0 | Have an Asus Maximus Formula X38 board. Found on the things I can check in Everest, It over volts the NB, The VTT and the ram. Early on found out about the ram problem and lowered the ram volts in the bios. The NB was just research to what range was working and setting that and then moving down and stability testing. My initial OC attempts up tp 475x8 caused the mobo to max out the VTT voltage on its own that crashed windows. Lowereing the VTT voltage manually worked for a stable system, but it had to be reset at each boot. Switched to 422x8 where mobo applied 1.5v's to the VTT. Lowered it down to 1.2 and it is applying 1.23volts through Everset (dropped my max CPU temps about 3C). Question is I do not know what mobo is setting the GL to. Left it in auto. Is there a way to find what is being applied??? Also is there an unknown reason the mobo maxs out the VTT on 475x8 and makes you reset a lower volt each time you boot to hold it or why it will stay as input in bios at 422x8??

Reputation: 0 ![]() Rep Power: 0 | What do you recommend as far as hardware monitoring?? I am using Everest Software monitoring, but it or others like it don't seem to include the GL. The volts shown are the applied and not the bios settings. But nothing on the GL. Probably your idea to go to the mobo manufacterer is the best idea. Thanks |
