Ok, so if i'm understanding it correctly offset is used in case voltage is ajusted in larger than 0.001 incriments. So if you wanted 1.248v but can only set 1.245 or 1.250. Then you can offset by either using +0.003 or - 0.002 to get 1.248v.
If i've set the boost voltage to 1.245v. Offset is set to auto and +. Then it will still be able to increase the voltage beyond the 1.245v i've set?. The motherboard can change it on the fly. Starting a synthetic benchmark proves to me that the motherboard is allowing up to 1.359v as viewed in cpu-z while running aida64.
So i was thinking, ok. Then why don't i just change the offset value to - instead. Then in theory it would never increase the voltage beyond the 1.245v i've set. Right ?
But it does. cpu-z states the cpu is recieving the same 1.359v. And i think 1.359v is too much, i don't like that.
How would i set the offset in combination with boost voltage so it's never ever allowed more voltage than the 1.245v that i've initially set ?
Why do i want this. As far as i know, usually it's only synthetic benchmarks that use this increased overvoltage, but i've learned that other programs can do so as well. I just want to prevent my computer from running a program or game with overvoltage without my knowledge.
Or maybe i've completely misunderstood the whole thing.
