MA785GMT-UD2H undervolting - CPU vs. RAM

Post by expatCanuck » Sun Sep 18, 2011 7:49 am

Greetings -

Just upgraded my X2 Regor 250 to an X6 1090T.
(Lightroom was just too pokey -- now it's fine.)

Board is the Gigabyte MA785GMT-UD2H.

I've modestly undervolted the CPU .15v -- so far, so good.

I had to up the RAM multiplier from 6 to 8 get the board
to use the RAM at its rated 1600, rather than 1333.

Is that why the DDR is at 1.6v, rather than 1.5?
The BIOS seems only to allow one to increase the RAM voltage.
Any way to get the voltage back down (other than a new board)?

Here are the readouts at idle.
(It seems that the core multiplier automagically drops to 4.)

and at load (exporting several dozen photos from Lightroom) --
turbo mode has kicked in - note the 18 (rather than 16) multiplier:
