Hello guys!
About a week ago I decided to make a 'mild' overclock to my 5930k at 4ghz, from 3.6 on my Asus x-99s motherboard. First tried with a voltage of 1.12 than 1.15v than 1.10v (which eventually crashed after about 8 hours of stressing). Than I raised the voltage to 1.15v again and it was stable after 48 hours of stress testing. Never crashed since than so for power consumption and efficiency I decided to use the Adaptive Mode instead of Manual Mode. So I launched BIOS and set it from Manual Mode to Adaptive Mode. I set the turbo vcore to 1.15 (which I found stable within manual mode) and the offset to Auto. When I booted back to windows I launched cpu-z and HWmotinor to check that eveeything saved corectly, I noticed something strange. The max voltage was 1.140 instead of 1.115 so I tough that maybe it's like this because I didn't set an offset. Back to bios I set the offset to 0.05 so if the cpu needs more power it will go from 1.115 to a maximum of 1.120 volts. Booted back to windows..maximum voltage was 1.140 again (**please note that I never used a stress test while under adaptive mode, just light photoshop renedering and gaming**)
What I am doing wrong? Why the max voltage goes to 1.140 instead of 1.115 or 1.120 with offset ( as I set them in the BIOS)?
I really need some.help on this because I feel like i'm doing something wrong and I can't figure out what
Thanks!
