After reviewing many discussions, most people report stable performance around 1.375 for 4.8-5Ghz with a Z270AR and 3200mhz RAM. The auto tune worked well for my 6600k, maintaining adaptive voltage at 1.425. I’ve seen temperatures stay between 55-60°C, with a peak of 65°C briefly. It seems fine under load, no stalls or issues. It runs on a tower cooler and has multiple case fans. Your setup looks solid. Also, when you manually adjusted the voltage in the ASUS tuner, it returned to 1.375.
I recently tested the latest aida64 with temperatures around 70-74°C, occasionally reaching up to 83°C for 10-15 seconds before returning to 70-74°C. This pattern continued throughout the hour I ran it. While I would have liked to extend the duration, it appeared to cycle through those temperatures only. This was the sole stress test that hit such high heat. Normally I get 70°C a few times for brief spikes, but long-term gaming keeps it steady at 62-65°C. I set the Adap to 1.375 and it seems to stabilize around 60°C, though I’ve noticed occasional freezes when it wakes from sleep mode. Running cinabench also prevented it from reaching 70°C during rapid restarts five times.
I understand that, but i see lots of information for both sides. Also this is not fixed. If 1.45 is considered highest one should go before entering red zone. And Asus 5 step auto tune sets it to this, is 1.425 adaptive bad, when the temps stay well below 80c? I guess i am asking, what is going to happen? Trying in a sense to learn something here too. Since your tag says you are an expert and all.
