Your system runs at 4.3 OC with 1.25V, so you should use adaptive voltage control for optimal performance.

I would prefer fully manual voltage control. Since modern Intel chips already include dynamic voltage scaling, the adaptive options are unnecessary (refer to this). What kind of motherboard are you using? I’m not sure if 'constant' voltage refers to manual settings or something specific to your board. In short, I’d manually set the voltage to 1.250 volts.

I'm on a 4.3 OC with an i5-6600k, voltage at 1.25V. Should I keep it constant or adaptive? When overclocking, use manual voltage. Turn off Turbo, SpeedStepping (EIST) and C-states. Locate the highest stable multiplier with minimal voltage drop. After that, re-enable EIST and any c-states you prefer. You can leave manual voltage as is, or try adaptive/offset voltage—just be aware it might be tricky on Gigabyte boards. This thread has tips for getting adaptive voltage to work: ZEBuckeye81 and I managed it, but philipew didn't. It's a challenge—find your max multiplier and manual voltage first.
