Overclocking questions help

Hi, I recently got an i5 6600k with an ASRock Z170 Pro 4s. My issue is that when I let it auto it jumps to 1.4V and that’s problematic. I tried using offset mode but didn’t know how it works—it suggested +5, but it didn’t even start Windows. Can you explain what this mode does? Also, is a light overclock at 4.2 safe?

Adjust the CPU voltage to Auto mode and determine its current value. From there, we can assess a suitable positive offset.

I'm working on optimizing for a specific target and the current base vCore voltage is 1.0V.

The CPU i5 6600k runs stably at 4.2V with a voltage of 1.235, but it remains unchanged since its fixed design. I’m trying to adjust the voltage when it’s not required, though I’m unsure about the offset settings.

Without the overclock it reaches a maximum of 1.180 with the OC, but with the OC it goes up to 1.4 in auto mode.

Consider starting with an offset of +0.10 and test it between 4.2 and 4.3

well there aren't any zeros but i think +10 will be the same
