For the past 3 days I have had no luck in Overclocking my cpu. I've read around the internet at different guides and get what I'm suppose to be doing at this point. My problem is that I can not get a consistent cpu core voltage. I know that too much voltage leads to more heat being produced by the CPU and the first "guide" I saw on youtube, the guy said to set the cpu core voltage to 1.35. During my stress test with Aida64 extreme my temps were high 80-100 and I had CPU throttling. I then did more research and found more answers about LLC, I AC/ DC, adaptive over manual for core voltage and so on. I also saw other peoples results in OCing there 7700k and they were getting core voltages around 1.12 to 1.24.
After learning everything I gave it another go. But In adaptive mode, after all I've read, my cpu core voltage readings in CPUZ was and is reading 1.344-1.36, even though I set it to 1.24 in UEFI in manual mode. And before that I had it at 1.184 in UEFI but in CPUZ it was reading 1.232-1.244. At that time I had Adaptive mode on, offset sign +, turbo 1.184, offset to auto (i even tried to set offset to 0), i ac/ dc to 0.01, and LLC to level 4 and 5. So I was really confused as to why my voltage in CPUZ was different from what I set. I went back into UEFI and set cpu core voltage to manual and 1.184. And by turning that to manual and leaving everything as is CPUZ read it at 1.184. But While trying to stress test my computer "experienced unexpected errors" and tried restarted itself. I went back into UEFI and just set everything to default. and now even doing that my voltage is reading 1.344 in cpuz. Why is this happening!? Can I not Overclock my 7700K?
Any tips and support would be very much appreciated.
I should also mention that I ran a stress test last night at:
48 multiplier(4.8 ghz)
adaptive mode
offset sign +
turbo 1.184 (reading 1.24 in cpuz)
offset voltage 0
LLC level 5
i ac/dc 00.1
and when i awoke my PC had reset and Aida64 said that the test stopped unexpectedly 20 minutes in. So i just dont know what to do here. some guides say manual mode, while others say adaptive.
