EVGA X299 Micro ATX 2 (121-SX-E296)
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.
The non-CPU Vcore voltages do not utilize the Adaptive or Override voltage settings.
Instead, these use a pulldown menu to select preset voltages, as shown in the image
below. The voltages for these components are set by detection during POST, and E-
LEET X will open the pulldown to the currently detected voltage. Please be careful
when adjusting voltages, as there are risks to running electronics out of spec. Although
EVGA warranties overclocking, other components are manufactured by different
brands (i.e. RAM and CPU), which may have different policies towards overclocking.
When your changes are complete, click "Apply Selection" at the bottom, or return to
defaults by clicking the "Restore" button.
