4770k Voltage Question

[Rune]

A few weeks ago, I swapped out my 4770k for a 4790k because I had gotten one super cheap. The differences were not worth it to me, so I moved back. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to quite capture the settings I had used properly once again. In order to maintain the same speed, I have to change my core voltage mode to static (from default adaptive) otherwise the CPU overvolts itself to 1.36v and melts down, whereas I am asking it for a stable 1.275. My question is this: I believe I had set the voltage mode in the bios to offset mode before I swapped out the chips, so that the voltage would still scale with performance but would not go beyond my target, however, when I try it this time around, I cannot even boot into windows. I reset the bios back to default to make sure no settings carried over in between, and yet the problem persists. Due to static mode, the cpu is staying at 1.275v all the time, and while idle temps are staying at 35c, I would like to reduce it if possible. Any help?

 

Edit: To be clear, 1.275 is the voltage that is stable at the 4.5ghz I had before. I just cannot achieve that voltage steadily without using static voltage mode.

My question is why would you not use the 4790k? Temps are better, higher clock speed, newer cpu, and overall Devils Canyon, unrelated to the question. Lol

the 4790k is better at heat than the 4770k. that chip can run hot.

I needed the money for personal reasons.

 

Simply lowering the voltage to 1.138 to allow for the difference in adaptive voltage also cashes a blue screen, though I can at least boot into windows.

To keep in mind, stock clock for 4770K is lower than for 4790K. So getting 4770K to 4.5GHz is much higher OC than what it would be with 4790K. Plus 35C idle is really good temp. Unless you have big WC rad, then its bit on the higher side.

It is a custom loop cooled by a triple (thick) rad from EK. I had a stable 4.5ghz overclock from before at that voltage.
