It will fluctuate a bit since the sensors only read @ 0.016v if it's more than that it's most likely the llc setting which allows vcore to drop off under heavier loads, to offset the vdroop put llc to around 6 and it should stay close to what you set

I've been slowly decreasing the voltage to see how low I van get without aida64 stress test blue screening. 1.28v was all good but 1.27v blue screened after 10 mins. trying 1.275v now and if that's all good will try some further stress tests.

why is it as I'm changing voltages the CPU clock can be 1 or 2 mhz different? occasionally its showed 5000 right now its showing 4998

The bclk (base clock, default 100) will fluctuate a bit that's normal, don't worry about that

okay cool. well 1.275v didnt crash aida64 and the lower voltage meant average CPU temp of 66 degrees. running cinebench now the  will give Intel burn test a run

I've been trying to follow and learn something from this thread but it's now just turned into gobble-de-gook. :o :-X
It reminds me I only know the car bit of sim-racing, not the computer bit (hence my attempt to learn).

2+2=√16

Lol, several years as an automotive mechanic and still a lot of the car set up stuff in sims is the same for me, particularly when any adjustment made is not helpful at all. That was quite a few years ago now and this pc stuff is still fresh lol

Seems good, I normally use asus realbench (uses h264 encode) and prime95 with avx disabled (v26.6 disabled by default, other versions need to manually) for about 2 to 4 hours

Intel burn test crapped itself, but a lot of people say not to use it. I ran Asus Realbench and that was all good. I may leave it as is for now and see how it handles gaming for a while.

I just got an RTX 2080. AC maxxed out runs at 75 - 90 FPS on triples in full race conditions. ACC racing at night against AI on triples, everything on epic, runs at about 75 FPS. Epic! ACC looks awesome at night. The lights of following cars in your mirrors, glow from brake lights, sparks from diffusers hitting kerbs...

Awesome! AC really does seem to depend on the track too. Last night I was between 70fps and 90fps as I was lapping but as I'm running at 60Hz anything more than 60fps is thrown away. That's part of why I decided to go for a used 1070 as a cheap GPU upgrade and spend the rest on new CPU  8)

I would have gone for a 1080Ti but you can't get them any more (or they're rare as hen's teeth).

Was a guy selling 10 ex-mined ones for $750 each on a Facebook group yesterday... was almost tempted  ;D
