hello,
i read a lot about it but I’m still struggling to get it right, sorry.
i installed my i7 6700k on hero 8, tried 1.280v at 4.4ghz and everything worked fine.
i want to apply this adaptive voltage setting now—if i understand correctly, the frequency should adjust from low frequencies and lower voltages down to 4.4ghz with a max of 1.280v?
when i tried, the frequency stayed at 4.4ghz and the voltage stayed at 1.280v.
now i’m wondering if the turbo mode setting for the CPU core voltage is slightly higher in cpuz.
please help, i have the latest bios info.

with adaptive voltage you can define the maximum vcore it supports, at least with my asus z-170p you can, preventing overvoltage. Many users perform a high overclock and ensure stability before adjusting to adaptive voltage and setting the max voltage, so your CPU doesn’t constantly operate at high voltage. If you wish to lower the frequency, navigate to power settings in windows and choose "balanced"

When you're pushing your system to higher speeds, it's best to leave adaptive voltage disabled. This could lead to unexpected issues such as overvoltage and overheating. If your overclock remains steady and temperatures stay under control, just relax and appreciate the performance.

Voltage must remain stable during overclocking, which is crucial. Fluctuating adaptive voltage may lead to it dropping too low or too high, damaging the CPU.
