Overclocking Voltage

Go to solution Solved by Patrick Bateman,

Hi,

 

I just OC'd my 4770K to 4.3GHz (I know it's not much, I just wanted a little bit more from it, don't really need anything more).

 

I set the voltage to auto after the OC but the problem is that when running Aida64 the voltage rockets up to 1.5V, causing it to throttle. Even in CS:GO it sat at 1.392V but didn't throttle.

 

Is there a setting I might have missed?

 

Thanks!

 avoid auto voltage. set it manually. and when stressing make sure its manual vcore mode.

Yeah, never ever use auto corkage when overclocking. No reason to ever consider it. If you want the voltage to go down at idle/low usage loads, use adaptive voltage. This sets an upper limit to the voltage and uses auto like voltage rules to lower the voltage when not needed.

Also, never use adaptive voltage while dialing in the oc, it can be a pain to find the right voltage needed for the oc. Use manual until you found an overclock that you like, then switch to adaptive
