Hi, I have a 6700k and a gigabyte ga-z170x gaming 5 moterboard. I have managed to get my overclock stable at 4.5 GHz with core voltage at 1.32v and cpu loadline calibration set to high (the other options are auto or standerd). But in HWMonitor I see CPU VCORE 1.3V average and max 1.32V. But the VID is like 1.35V average and with max peaks of 1.402V. Is this ok or should I change something. Y have a hyper 212 evo cooler and my temps are at 70C when running x264.
Thanks

it's gotta be there somewhere. as far as i know that is the only setting that allows vid to change automatically. i am unfamiliar with that board's bios layout. keep looking. it might give an option for "Fixed" rather than "Auto"

I do not find adaptive mode in my bios, its is set by default to auto and the only other option I see is to set the voltage manualy. Which I set to 1.32V
