What method is used for adaptive Overclocking?
DonkeyOatie clarifies that the Adaptive does not increase voltage, it merely enables more voltage. The chip features a built-in voltage versus load curve. Offsets are adjusted at each point in the profile based on the amount of offset applied. Manual or Override settings set every point to a constant value. Adaptive adjusted the upper end of the profile, while the lower end remains unchanged. It also introduced an Adaptive Offset for further overclocking adjustments. For 'normal' or Adaptive settings, the processor requests the necessary voltage within safe limits, so the upper end isn<|pad|>, unlike with manual/override or offset settings. Apologies for the delay—I just returned from holidays. I followed your instructions carefully, but it seems something might have gone wrong. After some research, I discovered that the chip operates at 1,193V for 'Normal' mode. Since 1,204V proved stable, I chose to keep the +0,012V offset. Everything is now working well; I’m currently at 0,760V with load temperatures staying below 61 degrees after three hours of Intel Extreme Tuning Utility. I’m considering trying 1,195V, but right now I’m sticking with 1,204V as a reference. The issue is that even at 0,760V, the CPU quickly jumps to 1,204V when usage exceeds 10%, without passing through any intermediate voltage levels. Am I making a mistake?
I'm heading to school soon. I'll get back to you later. It seems like your idle is low or normal, but the top end works fine. Doing anything other than idle needs a solid voltage level.

I'm off to school soon. I'll get back to you later. Looks OL to me, you have an idle that is low/normal. and a top end that works. To actually do anything at all other than idle requires a meaningful amount of voltage.
Okay thanks, then everything is fine, I don't know which one of your answers would I pick as a solution since they're all the answer. Just to add more info, I got back from university and decided to test 4,8 GHz and I'm stable now at 1,230V with maximum temps of 72 degrees, is that safe? I didn't do any synthetic stress test, I did a real world stress test encoding a HEVC H.265 file since that's very CPU Intensive at 100% usage I decided to run 2 hours and it was stable (Max 72 degrees) but man...that wattage...118W at load with peaks of 120W, I think I'm going to 4,9 and 5 GHz now
DonkeyOatie shares his experience with running at various voltages and temperatures. He mentions using a Noctua NH-D14 and notes that temperatures are higher than expected for the cores. He suggests running at lower voltages under 1.300V during heavy loads and shares that his current setup is stable at around 4.8 GHz with temperatures in the upper 60s. He also discusses using a GTX 970 G1 for encoding and mentions his preference to avoid CPU encoding due to performance concerns.
