I am running Intel XTU Stress Test right now and I have my voltage @ 1.275V and 4.6GHz. I turned the CPU Core/GT Voltage Mode to "Override" from "Auto" as the voltage would fluctuate if I didn't do this. Is this the right thing to do?

 

I literally just changed my Core multiplier to 46 from Auto and then changed the voltage from Auto to 1.275V and then turned the CPU Core Voltage Mode to Override. I am new to overclocking so hopefully I am doing this right. Just seems odd as 1.275V is fairly low for 4.6GHz and yet it seems to be doing fine so far in the XTU test.

 

System specs are below in my signature.

lower the voltage is better. higher the voltage means hotter temps and less life on the cpu

I appreciate the reply but that had nothing to do with my question haha...I am saying is it right that I changed from Auto/Adaptive to Override mode to keep the voltage constant?
