I'm having some issues with overclocking. I'm familiar with basic OC techniques and have done it before with older CPUs. The problem is that the manual voltage I set in BIOS doesn't seem to be reflected on the CPU during stress tests. It often fluctuates too high or too low compared to what BIOS reports. Even when I set the BIOS corevoltage to 1.250, the readings from HWmonitor range between 1.293 and 1.350. I expected the manual voltage to stay consistent, but it doesn't?
It seems adaptive mode resolved the issue. With a 100% load, the core voltage remains steady instead of fluctuating. This behavior is unusual, as manual operation typically provides consistent voltage under full load.
