What settings in my BIOS allow AIDA to draw more volts than I set?

Hi.

I've currently got a very mild overclock on my 4790k that's seriously thermally limited by my case and need for a quiet fan.

In Gigabyte BIOS it is set at 45x and 1.224v.

However, AIDA pushes this 1.248v and I'd like to know which settings enables it to do this.

I appreciate this is probably a very basic question but I just can't seem to see where there is any leeway in my settings for this to be happening.

I'm just interested to know what happens if I stop AIDA drawing this extra voltage...yes I realise a BSOD probably.

I'm keen to start delving into some deeper overclocking (maybe with a more powerful fan just to find my limits) but can't really carry on if I don't even know the answer to this question.

Thanks.
 
aida doesn't add any voltage,you also have loadline calibration in the bios,this will add extra voltage ontop of what you manually set (1.224v) its that that's adding extra
 
If you use adaptive/offset voltage for vcore on haswell, under certain stress tests with AVX instruction sets, theese methods can add .1v on top of what is set.
 
don't think you can disable it,be carefull and try to find the right level llc,start with medium then see if it overvolts past 1.224v or undervolts,then raise/lower the level of llc

can also tweak the vcore,so set slightly less 1.210v ect
