This question exists in many many many other threads but each of their solutions had no affect for me.
I have a 6700K on an Asus Z170-AR, and got a stable (at least so far, more extensive tests still pending) OC of 4.7GHz @ 1.32V on manual core voltage. Now, 1.32 isn't crazy high but I know the CPU won't need it most of the time since CPU load will rarely reach 100%. The solution to this is typically Adaptive CPU Voltage, which is a setting offered in the Asus AI Tweaker BIOS. I am attempting to switch over to Adaptive from Manual voltage- but despite the computer POSTing, it never can get windows to start, it always freezes at the first Windows load screen right after the ASUS POST screen. This appears to be a misvoltage to the CPU, but, according to the other threads I've read, I thought I'd set it correctly. See details below.
Original Settings:
- CPU Core/Cache Voltage: Manual Mode
-- CPU Core Voltage Override: 1.320
This worked.
New Settings:
- CPU Core/Cache Voltage: Adaptive Mode
-- Offset Mode Sign: +
-- Additional Turbo Mode CPU Core Voltage: 1.320
-- Offset Voltage: Auto
This did not work.
Things I have tried to fix:
1. Set CPU Core/Cache Boot Voltage to 1.1
2. Set Offset Voltage to 0.001
3. Set Offset Voltage to 0.01 and Additional Turbo Mode CPU Core Voltage to 1.31
4. Set Additional Turbo Mode CPU Core Voltage to 0.12, because stock voltage is 1.2 and "additional" voltage seemed like it would just be on top of that 1.2 but the minimum value you can enter is 0.25.
5. Enable Speedstep and CStates- this lowered my idle CPU frequency but not voltage (which makes sense because I couldn't ever boot with adaptive voltage, I was still in manual.)
Any ideas? This is my first OC and my first build. Thanks. Let me know if more info is needed.
EDIT: Also, when in Manual mode, my BIOS says the CPU voltage is 1.312. When in Adaptive, it says 1.04. I'm sure the BIOS doesn't need the full 1.32 I set in Adaptive, but is 1.04 reasonable?
