Hello,
So i discovered that my intel i7 6700k is a glutton that needs at least 1.25 volts to run at stock clocks otherwise i get random bsods during heavy workloads due to not enough juice being pumped into it. The problem is if i leave it in auto mode the stock voltage is 1.328 volts and spikes up to 1.440 volts in said workloads, which produces ridiculous temperatures that i will not put up with.

Right now i'm running manual mode at 1.25 volts however i dont want it to run at that vcore all the time so can someone teach me how to use adaptive mode?

My pc specs are the following:
intel core i7 6700k
cryorig h7
asus z170-a (latest bios on it)
g.skill ripjaws v 16gb (2x8) 2400 mhz ddr4
gigabyte gtx 1070 g1 gaming
samsung 850 evo 250gb
seagate barracuda 2tb 7200rpm
evga gq 650w
tp-link tl-wdn4800
nzxt s340
windows 10 pro 64bit


Thank you for your help

In adaptive mode, input the voltage you want into "Additional turbo mode cpu voltage", in this case 1.25v. In the offset section, you could leave it at auto or put a value to control add/reduce the voltage you just put in.
You should also select a level of Load line calibration rather than leaving it at auto. Ideally leaving it halfway. You can find the settings within the " external digi+ vrm" in the AI Tweaker tab in the bios.
