Stutters during stress tests and setting adaptive voltage.

Trying to finish validating the overclock on my i7 8700K. Got the temps where I want, got it up to 4.5Ghz at 1.2V, and I've done some short stress tests and it does fine except that it will have small stutters/freezes every 5-10 minutes (2-3 second stutters). My question is: is this something to worry about/lower the speed or voltage for, or is it normal and I'm ok to run my longer stress tests? Any advice on my next validation steps would be appreciated.

 

Also, I've heard you should set your voltage to "adaptive mode" after validating an overclock, does this just mean change the setting from manual back to auto?

 

Thanks and Happy New Year!
