Step 3a ( If Prime95 Fails ): Close Prime95 by right clicking the Prime95 icon on the tray bar in the lower right side of your screen and selecting “ Exit ”. This closes Prime95 .
Step 3b ( If Prime95 Fails ): Now it ’ s time adjust your frequency or voltage settings . You can do this either through the BIOS or using EasyTune which is available through the GIGABYTE App Center . You have two options : Either increase CPU Vcore or decrease CPU Clock Ratio . We recommend you to keep CPU Vcore below 1.35 volts if possible . After making an adjustment , go back to Step 1 . If it continues to fail dial down your CPU Clock Ratio until you pass stability testing .
Step 3C ( If Prime95 Fails ): If you aren ’ t stable at 5GHz on Prime95 you can try setting AVX offset to “ 2 ”. This will lower your CPU multiplier by 2x when running AVX instruction sets . For instance if your CPU is set go 5GHz it will run at 4.8GHz during Prime95 .
AVX Offset : AVX Offset ranges from 0 to 31 . When you set an AVX offset it will reduce the multiplier by 1-31 ( whatever you set it to ) when running AVX instruction sets . You can find this setting under “ M . I . T ” - > “ Advanced CPU Core Settings ”
