How to find stable voltage OC

Solution
If you have a GOOD air cooler or decent water cooler you can set voltage to 1.2 overriding adaptive mode. Set multiplier to 40 and disable turbo boost. Try to boot windows, if successful you can increase the multiplier in 1 increments and keep attempting boot. if you bluescreen go back and drop it to the last working one. From there you can check temps and if safe do a stress test. if you blue screen but your temps looked ok you can gradually add voltage or if you have offset in uefi then you can play with that. 1.25 seems to be the community safe word for voltage. Definitely don't go past 1.3.

Solution
you will know if it is unstable, PC will crash and blue screen may occur on occasion.

Depending on the overclock, the voltage will have to be increased accordingly, you will find voltages that are good for certain speeds, if they don't work for you, increase by [0.01V].
