AVX Offset: AVX Offset ranges from 0 to 31. When you set an AVX offset it will reduce the multiplier by 0-31 (whatever you set it to) when running AVX instruction sets. If you aren’t stable at 5.1GHz on Prime95 you can try setting AVX offset to “2”. This will lower your CPU multiplier by 2x. For instance if your CPU is set go 5.1GHz it will run at 4.9GHz during Prime95. AVX offset is found under M.I.T -> Advanced *Note: The processors can be stable at higher frequencies if the load applied doesn’t have AVX extensions. For example this specific CPU is stable at 5.2GHz without AVX load. That means in this case we have 2 options. Either we overclock the CPU at 5.1GHz for all types of loading or we overclock it at 5.2GHz with the AVX option at 2. 26
