Hello,

I have been overclocking my 4790k.
At the moment it is at 4.6 Ghz with a fixed voltage at 1.272v

I have a h80i, and the temperatures running Intel Burn test is around 70 degrees C. Idle around 35 degrees.

My question regards, should the Processor Cache Voltage mode be in Adaptive or Static mode?

As seen on the picture below, it now is in adaptive mode:



All help in this issue is greatly appreciated!

Depends on if you set static or adaptive cache multi. Personally, I'd leave on manual mode, and set multi to static speed, or use adaptive with proper offset for your boosted multiplier. Offset mode is for stock operation, or just BCLK increase.
