Overclocking 6700K Using Offset Mode

[Lapse]

Hello,

 

I know the difference between having a static voltage and offsetting it, but how DO you offset it?

 

(NOTE: I havent actually overclocked the CPU yet, so let's just pretend these numbers work.)

 

Say my CPU is running at 4.6GHz @ 1.35v. Since I don't want my CPU running at that voltage at idle and only at load, how would I make it step down to, say, 1.24v at idle using Offset? Would I do -0.11v to step it down at idle, or would I just run the PC with a voltage of 1.24v @ 4.6GHz, with an offset of +0.11v, so when it goes under load, the voltage bumps up?

 

Thanks,

Once you've got a steady overclock, change the voltage and frequency modes from static to adaptive (it may use another term).

I don't have adaptive as a choice. I have Manual, Auto, and Offset.

In offset mode, [auto voltage] + [offset voltage] = [Vcore applied]. The first thing to do is to find out how much volts your mobo gives the CPU at 4.6GHz in auto mode, then apply the offset to make it the value you want it to be

If you have an Asus board you have to Enable CPU SVID to be able to use adaptive mode.

Let's pretend that AutoV makes it 1.38v. Would I then set my "base" voltage to 1.24v, then give it an offset of +0.14?

I have an ASRock board

If autoV gives 1.38 and you want 1.24, you put in ' -0.14 '

So would that give me 1.24v at idle, or under load?

Depends on whether autoV gives 1.38 at idle or under load.

 

My way of tuning voltage is leaving c states enabled, so I only consider voltage under load and apply my offset accordingly

Sorry for the delayed response haha,

 

We'll say I want 1.24V at idle and 1.38V under load. autoV gives it 1.38 under load.

Cant do that. Either allow it to drop a lot lower at idle or 1.38V locked at all times.
