EVGA Z270 Stinger (111-KS-E272)
The final section is "Voltages,"
which provides a level of voltage
control similar to what is available
in the BIOS. Using the right image,
you'll notice that there are options
for multiple voltages, and two
options for your CPU Vcore:
Adaptive and Override voltages.
Generally speaking, Adaptive will
allow you to tailor your CPU Vcore
voltage profile to keep voltage usage
and heat to a minimum, while
Override is more of a brute-force
method of setting your CPU Vcore
voltage.
Adaptive gives you both Target
Voltage and Offset Voltage as an
option. When adjusting Adaptive,
you start by setting your target
voltage, which you will discover
through stress-testing your CPU.
The Offset voltage is then used to
fine-tune additional voltage that
may be required in load or stress
situations.
Override just provides a static
voltage; outside of extreme
benching, this setting is typically not
needed or ideal for the longevity of
the CPU, since the VCore is meant
to fluctuate based on load.
Alternatively, this can be used in the
early stages of overclocking to find
your Target voltage, before
switching back to Adaptive.
