Setting up adaptive voltage after Manual found?

I found this setup to be stable 1.38V Manual.. possibly less really.. it failed at 1.35V and passed everything at 1.38V. Now I want to voltage to throttle down so I set up adaptive at 1.38V +.001 = 1.381 v and lets the voltage throttle down which works. I noticed when loading with OCCT voltage will climb to 1.42V but I have been told dont stress when in adaptive mode but I did want to see how high it could climb. Is this an issue or should I dial the voltage back some? I am sure its posible nothing I do will push beyond the voltage I set it at. I think last time I went through this I was told since I knew the CPU was stable at the speed I run it I should dial the voltage back until I experience lockups or issue when using adaptive. Thanks for any help..
 
Manual and adaptive are two different animals. You may use the manual voltage as a rough reference point, but I would probably tone down the adaptive voltage adjustment until it's at or below your manual setting during the same load.

Adaptive can be a bit tricky to get to work correctly, since letting the processor play with it's voltage is inherently less stable. You might also have some luck adjusting the vdroop settings (assuming your board is capable of doing so).

Yeah, this is pretty much what I was thinknig also.. If i recall I ran less voltage than manual because of the overvolting with my last setup. I may try 1.36 +.001 for adaptive and see how that works out.

It'll probably be a fair amount of experimentation. Best of luck to you (y).

Thanks, this is all coming back to me now lol. Trial and error but I will get there. Pretty happy with the OC and temps without having to delid or run naked. I can play around at 5ghz in windows at 1.45V but no stability.. I bet 1.48ish I could get it stable but probably not healthy for the chip.
 
Depends on the CPU. Most modern Intel chips aren't safe past 1.4v, YMMV. What is the CPU in question?

6700K.. intel recommended max voltage is 1.45V. I have seen it pushed beyond that of course.. just not sure how much is to much for daily use.

I'd probably keep it at 1.4v or under for daily use, maybe a hair over. If you don't absolutely need 5 GHz, maybe bringing the voltage down is worth having the chip last for a while ;). Alternatively, you could try setting up scaling turbo settings (50x for 1 or 2 core turbo, 49x for 3 core, 48x for 4 core, something like that), which might let you get away with 5 GHz at a lower voltage.
 
Yeah, I think I will just settle for 4.8 and keep it under 1.4V. Seems like I got a decent chip although that magical 5ghz for daily use has eluded me for a very long time. The 7700K shows promise but thats a lot of coin for 200mhz more.
