Hi, i have an i7-6700k on an ASUS Sabertooth S MB. My auto voltage is 1.264v and i need to know if i can set the voltage as adaptive with a 1.2v value fluctuating. I ran a stress test and it gave me values of only 50 degrees on Small FFT test with Prime95. Did i set it right? Please, i need a hand to keep my temperatures to the lowest. Thanks!

You can try that, though adaptive will cause voltages spikes upwards of .1v in certain loads, prime95 included. Setting a 1.2v with adaptive on will result in 1.3ish volts. I'd also stay away from versions newer than 26.6 due to AVX loads.

How do i set the adaptive? I need to set the additional turbo mode cpu core voltage to 1.200v, set the offset mode sign to + and the offset should i leave it on auto or what value, and what about the llc? Thanks!!! I wanna keep my CPU at stock, but the 1.264v by default seems high. Or shoul i set to 1.2v on manual (fixed)?

If you set the offset +, this is what will be added to the default voltage. Changing the settings depends on what board you have. In my case with ASUS, I set voltage to adaptive, and manually input the voltage I wanted. However, due to it's nature, adaptive will override what you actually set by .1v. You can try leaving CPU core voltage offset to AUTO(maybe lower a bit, but change additional to 1.2v. Total adaptive mode CPU core voltage should be listed at 1.2. It's been awhile since I changed my own settings 
I've left my LLC on level 8, but I'm using Haswell-E which has FIVR. This setting affects the amount of Vdroop that occurs in system stress. To low, and the voltage could drop to far causing an unstable system. To high, and the voltage can spike with an overvolt risking damage. They removed the built-in CPU voltage regulation with Skylake and Kaby Lake. I admit though, I haven't OC'd a Skylake/Kaby Lake system(yet), but settings should be similar.
You can use, even just to try, setting voltage to manual of 1.2v. Just be aware it will stay at 1.2 regardless of CPU core speed and system load. Also, you would no longer risk the voltage "spikes" associated with adaptive.

Thanks for your answer, i'm new with this and i don't know much. The best thing i should do is set it to 1.2v on manual, is that right? I run the stress test for a little bit with the 26.6 version of prime95 and i get 6-8 degrees lower temperatures. Then i will set to manual at 1.2v with intel speedstep enabled and the power plan set to balanced with the processor at a minimum of 5% and a maximum 100%. Is that ok?
P.S.: I set the adaptive to 1.2v the offset at + and auto and set the llc to lvl8 and i'm getting this values at normal use 1.136~1.152v and when i run prime95 i'm getting this values 1.168~1.184v, is that ok? What am i doing wrong?

Voltages will still fluctuate to some degree depending on load applied and software used. Looks fine if your highest voltage under stress with current settings is 1.184. Seems better than original 1.25ish if you left everything on auto. Should lower your temps a bit.
Then i should leave it on adaptive mode at 1.2v and offset + and auto? Should i leave the LLC on auto too? If i set the offset to auto and the adaptive to 1.2 it shows 1.136v~1.152v while running prime95, but if i set the offset to 0.050v it shows 1.152v during normal use and 1.2v running the stress test, and using adaptive at 1.2v with the offset on auto and + with llc set on lvl8 it shows the values i gave you in the previous comment (1.136~1.152v normal and 1.168v~1.184v in prime95) What should i do? Remember i'm using and going to keep using stock clocks (4ghz without turbo boost). Thanks again!!!

If the previous tests give you the lowest voltage, I'd likely leave as it is. If your system is stable with 1.2 adaptive, offset + auto, and llc 8, should be fine. You can try lower llc if you like. Should just be some fine tuning.
Hello! What should i do then? Is it too much to leave the LLC at level 8? What level do you recommend? Now i'm running stable with 1.2v on adaptive, offset + and off with LLC at level 8 on stock clocks without turbo boost. Tell me if i need to change something else. Thank you again!
Hi, again, i´m not concern about the temps but the configuration, i´m loving these temps. Are these settings ok: Adaptive 1.2v, Offset 0.05v and + with LLC on auto? I get on full load a 1.2v mark, and on idle with typical loads fluctuating between 0.8v and 1.184v. Thank you, again...

It looks fine to me. Your voltages and temps look fine. Dropping the stock auto voltage is a plus. Your not going to damage anything on those settings. Typically, I leave everything on AUTO(except XMP) on a system I'm not OCing. My HTPC is currently stock with an i5 7600k.
If i leave everything on auto, the voltage sets at 1.264v~1.284v, and the temps opening Chrome, for example, goes till 45 degrees celsius, a little too much, i think. I'm not overclocking, but can i set the voltage to adaptive anyway? The values are the same that i gave you before, 1.2v adaptive with + offset 0.05v llc auto, is that ok? If not, tell me what values should i set. Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply. Been a few days since I was on the forums. Your settings look fine. Whether you leave everything on AUTO or choose the 1.2v adaptive + offset is safe for your CPU. If you pass stability tests, just go with the lower voltage option to lower temps a bit. Running your CPU at stock should be no real concern with your choice. I've actually OC'd my 7600k today after a cooling upgrade in my HTPC. My OC'd voltage goes to about 1.3v in occasional spikes in Realbench, ect., but generally much lower otherwise. My LLC is on Auto, and voltage is adaptive around 1.28v. Everything else is on auto voltage wise.
You won't get condensation with your cooler. You can't have temps lower than ambient without a TEC or some form of phase change cooling so there is no way for condensation to form. The coolant itself inside the H100 v2 would have to go below room temperature, which won't happen unless you put the radiator on ice or something similar

Thanks for you reply. Then i don't need to worry about condensation with this cooler? Thanks for that reply. I'm running my system at stock clocks (4.0ghz without turbo boost) and i select manual mode at 1.2v (i read that is the stock voltage for the i7-6700k). On Prime95, with the Small FFT test i get 50-51 degrees tops and i just played Assassins Creed III with a max temperature of 41 degrees in 2 of the cores. Is that ok, should i leave it on manual for good? Thank you one more time!

No worries with the cooler, you'll be fine. Sounds like great temps to me given the lower voltage. In my own case, my 7600K is OC'd to 4.6Ghz on all cores under stress and Uncore at 4.2Ghz. Idling, I'm in mid 30s. Gaming load seems to float around mid 60Cs at the most I'd think, though I haven't recorded it. Under full benchmarks/stresstests, hottest core is close to 80C, but generally around low 70Cs. However, I'm using a very small ITX chassis(Ncase M1) with a Noctua NH-U9S, which is a great cooler for its size.
I'd say you're fine at your settings, probably slightly better than auto voltage. In stress tests, I was monitoring my voltage with HWMonitor. Even at 4.6Ghz, my voltage was reading about 1.22 for majority of the testing, with the max on occasion again being about 1.3.

Manual it is then because when i set the voltage to adaptive with 0.05v offset + with no OC at all and turbo boost disabled, i get a max of 1.184v, and i'm not confortable, will a lower voltage hurt the cpu? Which one do you prefer at stock clocks, manual or adaptive? Will a lower voltage cause an unstable system? Two weeks ago i ran a stress test for about 1h and 45m with adaptive at 1.2v and + offset at 0.05v and i didn't have any issues. Tell me and i set the thread as solved. Thanks for your time and patience.

A lower voltage won't hurt anything. At most, your system could become unstable from not enough voltage, but it won't hurt the CPU. For stock clocks, I don't bother changing the voltage. Actually, just enabling XMP with the RAM can change the voltage itself. With my X99 system, once XMP in enabled it automatically adjusted the Vcore, Cache, and RAM voltage. Still, your adaptive, .05 offset settings and should be fine.
I wanna change the automatic voltage because i think it's a little bit high (1.264v~1.284v). The simple question is which one to choose: manual at 1.2v or adaptive at 1.2v + offset 0.05v? My motherboard natively supports DDR4 at 2400mhz, i have 2 Kingston DDR4 2400mhz hyperx fury and i don't need to set the XMP, do i? Thanks again!

Is your RAM running at 2400? If not, you should enable XMP or input manual settings. Regarding voltage, again, either is fine. Neither method will hurt your CPU in any way. Worrying to much about it. Been OCing myself for 13 yrs now with various voltage,ect, and all the system components were fully function when I retired them, some still running today as daily drivers. To my knowledge, some are replaced simply due to age.
I run some tests with the settings described on this image:
