Issues with adaptive voltage settings on the Asus Z-97A?
I'm trying to push my 4790k to higher speeds on an Asus Z-97A board.
The voltage control uses adaptive settings, but I can't adjust the maximum it reaches.
Currently it tops out at 1.23v above the 44 multiplier, so for overclocking I need to add an offset, which changes all voltages including idle.
Is there a method to set the upper limit without adding an offset?
Thanks!
Prime95 and synthetic benchmarks often increase the voltage by +0.050v beyond what you configured in BIOS, which is typical. Begin in manual mode since the voltage remains fixed during load in tests like Prime95 blend. When running Prime95 blend for 20 minutes in manual mode, record the stable voltage and adjust it in adaptive mode with offset sign+ and Offset: Auto.

Thanks for your message... it's reassuring to hear the adaptive is correctly adjusting voltages during stress tests.
Could there be a method to define a fixed upper limit for the "normal" adaptive voltage? If the core voltage reaches 1.23v at any multiplier exceeding 44, would the only solution be to introduce an offset by raising the voltage on faster clocks?
Appreciate your understanding! (And sorry for the delay – I've been quite occupied lately)
