OverClocking help

[Daniel644]

So working on the overclock for my new rig and running into an issue.

 

I followed the LTT video here:

 

and managed a stable 4.5 Ghtz OC at 1.325 volts at temperatures lower then or equal to the stock OOTB settings (any higher voltage to be stable at higher clock speeds ran the CPU hotter then I liked) but as soon as I went back into the Bios and set the voltage from Manual to Adaptive and reran the stress test my temps shot up 10-12C (at load) and did it right away, why is it running so much hotter in adaptive? Should I ignore Linus's video and switch back to Manual?

whats your issue?

1.325v is still high for 4.5ghz mine at 4.7ghz and only needs 1.264v.

when set to adaptive voltage in the Bios the CPU runs 10-12C HOTTER while stress testing with Aida64 then it did when voltage was set to manual. But in the video Linus says it's not good to use manual mode for daily use only for stress testing

Well I can't get to 4.6 without windows crashing unless I'm at 1.345v or something like that. I still need to try seeing if I can lower the voltage and still be stable on 4.5, but thats NOT the question here (I clearly LOST the silicon lottery on this one), the question is Should I keep it on Manual voltage instead of switching to adaptive like Linus says people do in the video because I'm seeing MUCH better load temps when set to manual.

Manuel if you're comfortable you know what you are doing.

thats just it, this is out of my realm of expertise, I simply followed his video and did what he said, also watched several other videos and not one of them makes mention of switching to adaptive afterward, thats why I came here to ask the experienced overclockers what the right way to do things is.

check your voltages when running it on adaptive, sounds like your mobo is going higher then should.

CPU-Z and HWMonitor showed it bouncing around 1.456 and 1.472 but back in the Asus Bios on the right under Hardware Monitor shows it at 1.216 when set to Adaptive.

OK I think I figured it out now, did some reading on Adaptive Voltage and found out I should set the "Additional Turbo Mode CPU Core Voltage" to the voltage I came up with while in manual mode and I needed to set the Windows Power mode from Performance to Balanced (so the CPU could ramp down) and all looks to be good now.

 

Also with some testing determined I could go as low as 1.285v, 1.29v to be safe and still be stable @4.5 Ghz and have the temps where I like them.

 

just chalk this up to newb not knowing what he's doing.

Because adaptive is bad. It let's the mobo fluctuate the voltage up, which causes heat to go up as well. Ignore Linus, keep it at a fixed voltage for better results.
