CPU Vcore: Raising this helps keeps the system stable at higher CPU frequencies.
However, it also increases the amount of heat your CPU produces. We suggest you keep
Vcore under 1.35 Vdepending on your CPU cooling solution. Most CPU’s should be able
to overclock to 4.9-5GHz at this voltage, however CPUs are not all created equally. Some
may need more voltage, some less.
Set Vcore to “1.28” to start. If you system is not stable raise the voltage in increments of
.01 with a maximum of 1.35V.
*Note that changing Vcore voltage also changes your Uncore voltage since they share the
same power rail.
(Optional) Advanced Settings
The following are settings are optional and might sometimes be needed when overclock-
ing on air or water. There are additional voltages settings not covered here—they are used
mostly when trying to hit overclocking records while using liquid nitrogen.
