My configuration: 4790k Patriot Viper III with 2x8GB RAM at 1866MHz (10-11-10-30 timings, 1.5v) using stock RAM settings. ASUS Z97-C motherboard with 600W PSU. Previously, I ran stable OC settings for this setup. RAM speeds were limited to 2133MHz; everything else auto-adjusted to 1.7V. Attempts to exceed 2133MHz caused instability and BIOS failure. Cleared CMOS and applied the same settings, but Windows became unreliable. CPU needed a higher voltage (1.385v) than before—originally 1.325v. High temperatures made performance poor. This unit is no longer working for me. I’m considering selling it or buying something better, but I still need a fix to understand it better. What would you get it for on eBay (USD)? I have the original packaging and cooler included.

For a specific reason, adaptive voltage supports a +100 offset, reaching up to 1.3V, and remains perfectly stable at the moment. Temperatures seem around 1.35V.
