Offset Voltage Help

[delinquent]

Ive been running my i5 3570k overclocked for awhile at 1.3 volts (1.304)
so i been trying to get offset voltage to work correctly with intel speedstep
and all the c states etc..i read up a guide it said to minus your voltage under 100% load minus your vid using core temp.
i did that and at idle 1.6 ghz my voltage is 0.960 but default voltage at 1.6 ghz when i set my bios to optimized defaults is 0.824. Trying to figure out what im doing wrong

Thanx i understand all the parameters and all that doesnt solve the issue im having though
Using offset voltage simply doesnt give me the same idle voltage as at stock speeds i thought that would be possible .

The issue is in your mind. Don't go off on a tangent. Just do what the guide says.

I"ve clearly already done these steps if i said it did not solve the issue. I dont have an asrock motherboard first off
im running a asus z77 pv877 le-plus latest bios..as soon as i select offset voltage doesnt matter what amount i add
my stock voltage is never at the voltage thats automatically set by my board at idle (1.6 ghz) when at stock speeds stock voltage for my chip fluctuates between 0.842 to 0.85 ish. Once offset is selected that becomes 0.952-0.960 at 1.6 ghz no matter the multiplier or offset + or - selected. Could it possibly be loadline calibration i have it set to ultra high with my overclock for vdroop reasons

The link says

"1. Disable all power saving adn turbo boost features and pick a load calibration, 1 being very stiff and one voltage constantly, 2 being a little more relax(easier to achieve stability), i prefer level 2.
2. Set voltage to fixed at first and drop it to 0.9v. (easier than fixed)
3. Boot into windows and run prime 95 or similar stresstest to test for stability for atleast half an hour. This will give you an idea of how sensitive your specific CPU is to voltage change.
4. Increase your voltage to 1.2v and multiplyer to 4.2GHz. Test thoroughly for an hour. Keep a close eye on temps with real temp or HWmonitor.

To go above 4.2GHz.

Increase Multiplier one at a time testing for half an hour between each bump. When stability is lost, add 0.05v and try again.

Repeat process until you reach your desired OC or unacceptable temps(drop one clock and/or Voltage) and viola you have your OC...

Just follow the process and you can OC with ease."

No mobo, no loadline, no intel speedstep.
