offset volts?

ok this is really confusing me? i only do 4 hours prime, i know some say 8 but i have never had a crash using 4, even on previous systems.

using fixed volts my i7 2600k
4.7GHz @ 1.34v
4.9GHz @ 1.40v
5GHz @ 1.45v

using offset volts my i7 2600k
4.7GHz @ 1.33v
4.9GHz @ 1.38v
5GHz @ 1.43v

why so different?

That's unusual. In my experience, offset has always required more voltage than fixed. Wouldn't argue it if it were me; bonus!

Ye that's well better. If you can run them with off set you can run it normally at them volts not that you would want to anyway
