A lightly threaded load won't peg all the cores so the offset voltages delivered won't be high enough to actually keep a single fully-loaded core stable. If your system seems 100% stable in a fully threaded Prime95, but you crash very quickly when playing a game or doing other lightly-threaded work, the problem might be related to C-States. Note, this will increase power consumption a bit, but it will not disable the thermal safety protections built into your CPU, so don't worry.~~ Originally I recommended to disable all C-States (thus locking your multiplier and voltages), but really I suppose it'd be smarter to only do this if you actually run into problems. By disabling all C-states you prevent the CPU from entering hybrid sleep states, which will keep the voltages and multipliers locked. The reason for this is that if only two of your four cores are being loaded, the offset voltage delivered will be a lot lower than if all four cores were loaded, so the two cores will receive insufficient voltage and won't be stable. You could end up with a system that is 100% Prime95 stable (stable under heavily threaded loads) and not stable in games at all (lightly threaded loads). ~~If you get a high enough multiplier and offset, the hybrid sleep states on your CPU could actually cause a particularly weird problem.
If you set your static voltage to say 1.300v and then go under load, you will drop down to 1.250v or so, but if instead you utilize an offset, you can keep voltage right around 1.300v. The advantage to offset overclocking versus static voltages is that you can keep the voltage range your CPU receives in very tight bounds. To start with, just set this to 0.000v, but we'll bump it up as we progress. Offset overclocking allows you to specify how much additional voltage the motherboard should deliver to the CPU once the CPU goes under load. Offset overclocking is much more desirable than static voltage settings and really shines when paired with LLC. As the CPU goes under load, voltage droops, and LLC delivers additional voltage to compensate, but what happens when your CPU goes from being at 100% load to 0%? LLC can't react instantly, so you get a brief moment of significant overvoltage, too much of which could damage your CPU. The reason we want to set it to 50% and not 100% is because setting it too high can be a bit dangerous, because LLC is not instantaneous. LLC combats this by delivering additional voltage once it detects your CPU voltage starting to droop. The purpose of LLC is to combat ""vdroop"" which is the phenomenon that occurs when your CPU goes under load, the VCore will drop a lot, and if it drops too much, your CPU will become unstable. * Start by turning on Load Line Calibration (LLC). You're going to want to edit a few settings here. Restart your computer and load up the BIOS.
