Overclock works when using manual settings but causes issues with offset adjustments.
Hey all,
I have a 3750k at 4.5 that needs 1.280V on manual. I adjusted the offset and LLC settings, but I still face voltage drops during gameplay, especially after 20-30 minutes. It seems like the voltage falls too low when playing games.
It's referred to as Vdroop and occurs when under load. You might attempt to run the LLC with a higher setting, but be careful—exceeding it can cause the opposite issue and lead to overvoltage.
Maintain manual operation without any offset; set the LLC at level 1/2 and observe if the Vdroop decreases.
Are the games affected when you skip using the offset? What tools are you testing with? Prime 95 small FFTs is a solid choice as it can detect instability in voltage and report maximum temperatures, making it reliable for checking OC stability. You might need to increase voltage slightly to achieve stability. Monitor temperatures closely—if they exceed 65 gaming and 80c load, you're likely applying too much stress.
If possible, aim for a stable result of 4.3/4.4 at 1.25; that would be ideal.
Turn off power savings and check functionality. If it doesn't work, adjust and modify the offset values accordingly.

If possible, aim for a stable result at 4.3/4.4 at 1.25; this would indicate better performance. You probably won't feel the noticeable speed boost of 100-200mhz during gameplay. If that's your goal.
