Selecting "fixed > mode" lets you set the GPU voltage in absolute terms, i.e., 1.25V. > > Best, ?CC I had a look at the manual of the Z68 Pro3 Gen3. While the UEFI setup seems to be virtually identical, the description for the iGPU voltage only mentions voltage offset. How about setting the offset to 0V? Presumably, the offset is about 1.25V anyway. Best, CC
