Keep in mind that adaptive can overshoot your specified voltage, I had to use a -20mv offset to get it in line with what I wanted. Shady, the setting in my image are for 40x multiplier if you are interested. On the HWiNFO64 forum they are saying this board doesn't have SA voltage monitoring (only offset) which would explain that static value on the right side.
#MSI Z87 UEFITOOL WINDOWS#
In Windows using HWMonitor and HWiNFO64 the offset does change if I change the voltage setting in the bios. If you look at the SA voltages I circled, it seems like the motherboard hardware monitor is not reporting the SA voltage correctly. It's the board I ended up choosing to mate with a 5930k and 32Gb of RAM. I was eyeballing and reading everything I could gather about the Godlike Carbon, for months. It's a personal choice, but you probably can't go wrong with either one. I also preferred the aesthetics of the Titanium vs the Carbon. I put half of the motherboard saving$ towards a beefy UPS to protect the entire system.īoth are second generation X99 motherboards, so the Carbon might work just as well. You can set the fans to run at 50, 75 or 100% using Command Center.

The fan control for the Titanium is accomplished through the MSI command center software - it works exceptionally well. It runs all day long, and games (FCIV/Crysis3) no hotter than 59C.
Simply using the MSI software, I overclock and run that cpu to 4.6Ghz with the RAM at 2400Mhz. I think that the Titanium has a slightly better layout and features for what I wanted than either of the Godlike boards. Regarding "adaptive" voltage, I assume this is just another placebo addition to the list of so-called "features", since all applicable OC voltage settings are of "adaptive" nature anyway.Ĭlick to expand.I was eyeballing and reading everything I could gather about the Godlike Carbon, for months. Since overclocking an Intel CPU always means to overclock turbo only, settings like "turbo boost" and "enhanced turbo" are today's overclockers "snake oil". 1.) with Haswell silicon dual VRM sets (one one mainboard, one on CPU) have been introduced to increase the precision and stability of the voltage / current settings of all cores.Ģ.) this has proven to be futile and will thus be discarded after Haswell / Broadwell because if there are any leakages within the CPU core area, not all cores will be able to overclock equally high since any leaking cores will be of significantly lower OC capacity than their non-leaking buddies.ģ.) that said, flooding the core area as a whole by setting OC to "all core turbo" makes any core leaks (if existing) irrelevant, but does not apply to really bad / crippled / defunct cores).Ĥ.) enabling "enhanced turbo" simply represents an additional attempt to push the turbo clocks of all cores as high as possible.ĥ.) the "roof" frequencies of OC settings can be perfectly controlled by enabling EIST (C-states) and C1E (idle speed control) settings which ensure that speed of idling cores and / or cores not under demanding workloads will not run at high or maximum speeds anyway.
