Hi all, first poster here. I'm have a 4770k CPU and a Z87 Extreme4 mb and I'm experiencing some problems with OC voltages. I've found settings that I'm happy with - running at 1.22v and 4.5GHz (cache at multiplier 42 and 1.2v) overnight AIDA64 has an average of 72C with peaks around 84C.
Great, that's with Override and no Offset, now I want to move over to using the Adaptive settings so I can get the voltage down while the CPUs are less stressed. So my goal is to get the vcore peaking at 1.22v, but regardless of what I do with the adaptive voltage the CPU still seems to take charge and start drawing ~1.276v, which is way higher and gets really hot while running a stress test (hitting 100c throttling). Looking at other motherboards like this asus (Bild: 3wrkgx.jpg - abload.de) there is fine control of the adaptive voltage, the offset and the turbo which finally gives you a maximium vcore voltage, but I can't find any turbo settings in the ASRock UEFI.
Is there some other setting I don't know about that I should be using? Is there some magic combination of numbers between the adaptive voltage and the offset that will get me to 1.22 vcore peak? SNED HEPL!
**edit: It kind of feels like the turbo setting exists deep in the bowels of this MB/CPU and that's what it's using, but it's not exposed by the UEFI and can't be set?
