Sucessful stable overclock, issue with adaptive mode

[Morgiee]

Hi so stress tested my cpu for over 12 hours and got a stable overclock but having issues with setting adaptive mode, here are some stats:

 

Stock cpu:

 

Intel I5 Skylake 6600k 3.5ghz

 

3.5ghz

core voltage at 1.168v

cpu standby volts: 0.993v

 

Overclcok settings:

 

4.4ghz

core voltage: 1.275v

x.m.p enabled ddr4 3000mhz 

manual mode

 

Tested with Aida 64, cpu-z, cinebench, cpuid hwmonitor and real bench 

 

 

 

My issue is how to work out the adaptive mode based on my results and weather its a - offset or a = offset.  Could someone shed some light into adaptive mode as I hear its highly recommended to save power and not harm cpu lifespan compared to manual mode. 

 

Thanks

your stock core voltage was 1.168v (100% load) with no tweaks?

if so, you'd add (+) for the offset and add .110 to ad to the base to make 1.275v in adaptive mode.

Thanks so that adaptive mode setting is based off having the cpu Overclocked at 4.4 with 1.275v? As for stock volt that was read from bios but never stress tested at that volt should I do that first and if I have to change how do you calculate what the adaptive needs to be

 

Thanks

best is at stock (no tweaks) find what CPU-Z says the voltage is at 100% load.

then tweak the UEFI with the OC in adaptive (usually a week of all app usage/gaming) to verify stability) voltage mode with the difference of stock volts used to what it takes for a stable overclock voltage.

This is the results from stress test on all stock.  AI suite 3 says between 1264 and 1280v but no higher or lower than those values.  Stress testing with Aida 64.

 

Edit: since this post it crashed the test and restarted itself on stock settings.  so even stock 3.5ghz must need a little more volts to be stable?  1.168v core stock

 

So once you find the "sweet spot" voltage for stock you do the following calculation?

 

stock volt (what ever is stable under stress?) - overclocked volt (in my case 1.275 at 4.4ghz) = volt for adaptive mode?

 

I read around that people were working out the adaptive voltage and getting silly high voltage even at idle?

 

thanks
