Manual for tuning a stable overclock. Once stable, set it to adaptive.

Manual when testing, locks the voltage, making it inefficient for normal use.

 

Adaptive using the voltage you found during manual testing (be careful though, adaptive can be finiky to set, i severely overvolted mine first time (so much so the BIOS forced me to turn it down).

 

If i recall the way you want to set it is (it should look similar in the BIOS to this)

 

Offset sign: +

Offset value: 0.001

Adaptive offset: (whatever manual setting worked - 0.001)

and manual mode would be what im referring to as voltage overide? yes?

Probably, but i'm not sure, there are probably overclocking guides for the bios that will point you in the right direction

btw ive got my cpu running at 4.4 with a voltage 1.185 right now, ive been running aida 64 for an hour with no problems. How much longer minimum shoul i run it for before changing to adaptive mode

4.4 @ 1.185? Nice. 

 

You may switch to adaptive and continue the stress test. I'd say run the stress test for 6 hours. 24 hours to be extra sure its stable  :P
