RE: What VID are you using to get Vcore of 0.75V (and host @140)? Noticed that with EIST off, VID can go lower! nt

Now that you pin me down, I have to say that I'm not sure what VID is in this context and my note may have been muddled as a result.

Whatever, in the BIOS's MIT menu, there is a setting for CPU Voltage Control. This is set to 0.75000. (Just below that is a note that the "normal" CPU Vcore is 1.15 v.)

With this setting (I've just checked), CPU-Z reports that Vcore is 0.704 but I have also noticed that the BIOS menu "PC Health Status" says that it is 0.724.

I know what VID is in general terms but as to exactly what these figures mean and which Vcore reading is right, I've no idea.

I have run the board with CPU Voltage Control set as low as 0.65 but, especially when cold, it tended to restore defaults on powering up so I settled on 0.75 and left it at that. (Some report SQ differences after making minute changes to CPU Voltage Control but I can't hear any.)

I have a hunch you're right about things being more stable with EIST off but I've not tested it systematically.
