Overclocking 4770k help

[Hermit920]

Hey Guys, Im overclocking my 4770k. Thisnis my first time overclocking and im currently running the cpu overclocked to 4.4Ghz with temps at around 65-68 with voltage set at 1.250. Im running aida64 and plan on running it overnight and just confused on one part. I set the volatage manually because the videos and articles i read said that leaving it on adapitive would over calculate the volatage and provide more than needed. So my question is then after i run this overnight and it is stable do i just then set the voltage to adaptive or leave it as is?

if it is fully stable at 1.250 you can either leave it where it is, attempt to decease it and re run the test at a lower voltage, or increase the OC

Im pretty happy with the voltage, temps,  and overclock. My question is in the bios when setting the voltage do i put that kn adaptive mode or leave it manually at 1.250V

You can set it to adaptive. 

Depending on your motherboard you might notice that the VCore voltage fluctuates (works as intended) or stays the same 1.25 (not a bad thing, nothing to lose sleep over) in CPU-Z though.

Once all tests are done, you can absolutely set it back to adaptive.  As you read, when testing in adaptive mode can pull more voltage than what you have it set for and can cause issues.  Once you got a good, solid overclock with good temps, setting it into adaptive mode is perfectly fine.

Keep it in manual for the AIDA stress test and burn in... when that's successfully done, then change it to adaptive based on your value.
