Haswell adaptive voltage

Hi guys,

Made a thread here a while ago to help me overclocking. Finally got my i7 4770k on 4.4ghz stable with 1.325v.
Not the best result but I wouldn't accept any lower than 4.4ghz.

Now for best performance/power ratio, I tried enabling adaptive voltage, so the cpu only boosts the voltage when necessary.
However this has been a disaster so far, with adaptive I got the choice of raising core & turbo voltage.

I read somewhere to only up the turbo voltage ( FYI my VID is 1.040 ).
So I thought, let's raise the turbo voltage with 0.285 which adds up to my stable voltage.
Alas upon booting I get an immediate bluescreen. Now I have tried several combinations to raise turbo higher or to raise core as well but I can't get it stable.

Can anyone give me some guidelines here? Thanks!
 
Good luck. Haven't seen much success with overclocked past 4.2 using adaptive. Eager to hear of some though. I'd love to get my mine to use adaptive.
 
It's not harmful to run it at all times on 1.325v or is it? It just reduces the life expectancy a little bit and consumes more power? Cause then for all I care I'll let it run at that voltage at all times.
 
Idles hotter, takes more power at idle, may shorten life insignificantly...
 
As I thought, power consumption isn't that much of a problem. Guess I'll let it sit there at 1.325v then, thanks.
 
Ok, I got Adaptive mode working on my Core Voltage, not yet on my Cache Voltage. But Adaptive works at 4.6 for me. I had to add some voltage to the base Offset- not just Turbo Offset. But holy cow - now I'm idling away at 0.875ish vs. 1.25ish. And temps have dropped a bit as well.

I rally want to delid this thing. Not sure how the CL Pro & Ultra do long term though. I've heard that stuff cakes and gets rock hard. I also don't want to be scraping crap off of the CPU die either. Wonder if Diamond IC would be 'good enough' for a 10 degree temp drop or so.
