Adaptive Voltage Issue
Adaptive Voltage Issue
Maybe I'm missing something, maybe I'm not.
I'm trying to overclock my 7600k again because a Windows 10 update is messing with everything. I had a stable 4.7ghz overclock, but it got quite hot during the summer. This time I'm aiming for a 4.6ghz overclock.
My system is running well—over 8 hours on Asus Real Bench and multiple IBTs—using a manual voltage of 1.25.
According to what I've read, I should switch from manual to adaptive with a small adjustment of 0.01v or 0.02v for stability.
The issue is that with adaptive voltage, my system doesn't settle at all. I even increased it from 1.255 up to 1.280, then lowered it back to 1.25 and kept stress testing.
Am I wrong? Am I misinterpreting adaptive voltage? Is my board completely unreliable?
I consistently adjust voltage manually and calculate the optimal LLC level for each voltage, which helps maintain a steadier output in the system.
If you require additional details, feel free to share your complete hardware specifications.
Ryan, this sounds more like what you were experiencing. I think when I was pushing my 2500k with a Coleman cooler, adaptive cooling wasn't involved. My current specs are listed above, and overall it's stable. I'm just tweaking the voltage to get the best performance, which is the only change here.
The cooler days of Coleman, that's a journey back in time!
Your voltage is looking fine!
