Adaptive voltage problems.

[Romsn]

I'm having problems with CPU VID jumping past the adaptive voltage that I have set. It jumps from 1.293v to 1.351v in HWMonitor (set to 1.291 in BIOS) when only playing games but the vcore stays at 1.296v.

Here are my settings in the bios:

cpu: 4.6ghz
cache: 4.4ghz
ram: 1866mhz xmp

vcore: 1.291 adaptive
cache voltage: 1.255 manual (I've also tried adaptive and it does the same)
ram voltage: 1.5v xmp


Besides these I've changed nothing else in the bios.

Is this something I should be concerned about? Or not, since the vcore stays close to what I set it to? So far this happens while playing World of Warcraft and Borderlands 2.

Here's a screenshot of my HWMonitor



Here's my specs

i7 4770k
Maximus VI Hero
Corsair Vengeance Pro 1866 8gb
Corsair AX760
Windows 8 Pro x64

Are you running AVX enabled software when this happens? If yes, then it is normal.

No. I'm not. This happens while playing either World of Warcraft or Borderlands 2. I ran Cinebench just now and my VID stayed at 1.293v and vcore went up to 1.312v which is expected. I also tried monitoring with CPU-Z while running Cinebench and it topped at 1.312v as well. I'm confused as to why it happens while playing games.

I get blue screen if i bump turbo voltage in adapative mode.
I need to bump the the "normal" adaptavive voltage and leave turbo voltage in auto.
Using this configuration i notice same behavior of "offset" voltage.
I dont have voltage spikes like you.
