i5 overclocking

[Midnitewarrior4]

Ik overclocking my i5. I tried moving up the multiplier to 42 so I get 4.2ghz. Then I set the voltage to manual to 1.22 volts. But before I overclocked the voltage went up and down with the usage but now it's pinned at 1.22 volts And 4.2ghz. is there an option where I can set the voltage to drop when the cpu usage isn't high and same with the clock speed ?

Without setting the voltage to auto cause the mobo just puts it at 1.36 volts and I only have a small oc and a hyper 212 evo.. and I have a gigabyte z97x-sli mobo

Im not at the computer but i believe the option is called adaptive voltage

either this or it will just say auto. also make sure your c states are in auto or enabled.

what the c states ?

I looked but I my board doesn't seem to have adaptive. I have auto normal and then the manual

auto, should be the one, just don't run prime 95 as a benchmark stress test, it can higher the voltage just a tad. just for fyi, 4.3 is normally doable at around 1.2 volts or less (mine 1.15) at 4.4 we seem to need a lot more volts unless you get lucky. i use occt for my temps and stress test. also now folding at home.

that's the thing. On auto at even just 4.1 it ramps the voltage up to 1.35 volts

what motherboard do you have?

there may be something like voltage offset, make sure this is set to 0, and load line calibration can be set to max or higher than whatever is the normal setting.

@ProKoN is the man.

I already posted what I have... it's a gigabyte z97x-sli

thanks for the vid. I'll watch it when I get time

ok, sorry, im dumb sometimes. let me go into my bios real quick.

lol no problem. Do you have a gigabyte mobo ?

yes this is all i changed, not a lot. 

my first pics the flash was right where i changed stuff so no go

and the voltage goes down by itself ? And when u oc did you just turn up the max turbo boost ?

voltage should go down vy itself. I have my set on auto turbo boost.

ok but when you oc'ed did you just turn up the turbo boost limit ?

left turbo on auto, set each core to 4.3
