System Agent Offset

Hi,

I've got a question regarding adaptive mode and system agent offset.

I have my 5960x voltage set using adaptive now I know what is stable.
My question is regarding the system agent. I've found that I need more than the
default voltage for system agent. I set mine to 1.0v. But using offset to get there
seems allot. I'm having to apply +0.038 to get anywhere near the 1.0v.
I'm still quite a way off the 1.0v I want to set but I feel uneasy about adding more offset in the way of positive (+).
Does this sound right. I've used a DMM to test the voltages from BIOS and from windows
under load.
And the system agent does seem to roughly stick around what is being reported in the BIOS.
Is there any danger of this voltage in-fluctuating or is it a pretty much static voltage?

I have mine set at +220 to get 1.12 volts it doesn't seem to fluctuate, I have my memory overclocked to 3200mhz with tightened timings. haven't checked with a DVM, using AIDA64 to monitor voltages, I don't think you have anything to worry about, if you are having memory instability increase the voltage, to high can cause instability also, every system is a little different
