Lowering vcore to reduce temps

So currently I'm using a i7 6700k series cpu. My vcore was set to 1.312 by default. While playing games I was getting temps in the upper 80c. Vid maxed at about 1.320 . I followed a thread here and lowered my vcore by changing vcore to adaptive and dropping offset to 1.270. Temps are noticeably lower by 15c-20c. But now I'm confused. On HWMonitor there is a different voltage under my vid called IA offset and it's at a constant 1.300v for value,min and also max. Is this normal ?
 
Well the temps are no longer the problem. As I said before . After lower my vcore using adaptive move to 1.270v my temps no longer exceed 80c. Or the mid 60c for that matter. My main concern is the IA offset voltage. What exactly is this and should I be worried that it's a constant 1.300v?
 
Like I keep saying that is not the problem here xD , I just recently purchased a corsair h115i . Not even a week ago. Clean my cpu and used artic silver. The temps are fine now. I'm worried about the IA offset voltage after I lowered my vcore using adaptive
 
I heard that 1.4 or anything close to it could potentially damage my cpu. The leading reason why I reduced the vcore was because of temps. Lowered it to 1.270 using adaptive, changed out my aio and everything seems to be working fine. But what exactly is IA offset? And why is a constant voltage of 1.300v? Can this damage my cpu or other components?
 
The thing that bothers me is the constant voltage of the IA offset voltage 1.300v....atleast the vid voltage step down when the extra voltage is not needed after changing the vcore to adaptive
