So, i'm trying to get a very conservative OC on a 2500k with a ga-z68ap-d3, but the board does not have offset/adaptive voltage, here's what i've got.
Either set a manual voltage of 1.315 to get a stable 4.4, no LLC resulting in 1.27x under heavy load and 1.33 on idle and low load.
And the second option is voltage on auto, which gives me adaptive voltage, resulting in 1.31 under heavy load, 1.28 under medium load and 1.1 or lower on low load/idle.
So which of the option is better here exactly?
 
Solution
Make sure you have adequate cooling to keep your temps below 80c.

If you can get lower voltage with AUTO, go with that. Manual voltage is used for finding the voltage/clock balance. After that most people use adaptive or offset.

Also, use Load Line Calibration (LLC) to get a more stable overclock.
