Overclock and Jumping Voltages

[Dogway]

I read that voltage jumping constantly isn't good at all, so I would like to set the voltage at a fixed rate yet have the CPU clock idle at something lower than my overclock. For that I enabled Intel SpeedStep but disabled C-States, but what I get is both base clock and voltage going down to 800Mhz and 0.70V, so in Control Panel power management I raise the minimum to 95% which coincides with 3.4ghz and 0.975V for my 4670K. Still I don't feel comfortable with the voltage going from 0.975V to 1.080 (peaks of 1.140V) of my 4.2Ghz OC. All this looks convoluted, any help is welcome.

Variable voltage is completely normal for a CPU when it changes between clockspeeds.

 

Its nothing to worry about.

 

You can overclock by setting a certain voltage and a target clockspeed and stresstest for stability.

Yes, what I read is that voltage jumps over 0.10V is not recommended, my voltages are 0.975V for idle at 3.4Ghz and 1.080V at turbo OC of 4.2Ghz, this is "fine", but since I use adaptive in stress tests it peaks at 1.140V.

 

Do you find it normal that I have to use the Control Panel Power Management to set my idle clock? couldn't this be done in BIOS?
