Hi guys, I searched high and low, but I can't seem to find any information on properly using Adaptive Voltage on my ASrock Extreme4 motherboard.
I found override vcore/ring settings that work well for my 4770k (1.24v for vcore 44x, 1.19 for ring 39x) but I would like to take advantage of the power savings and wear/tear on my CPU from running a fixed voltage.
The problem here is, when I use adaptive, my assumption is take the highest voltage from adaptive mode, and apply a corresponding negative offset to get to where I want to be. It doesn't seem to work properly as it still spikes to the insane mobo-requested voltage.
I mean heck, it requests 1.29v even stock when benchmarking Prime95! When I use adaptive with my x44 overclock, it will peak at 1.37 or so which is way too high for air cooling. I apply a -0.130 offset which should get me to 1.24v +/-, but it doesn't.
Am I misunderstanding how Adaptive works, or is it a case of "nothing you can do"?
