When are you guys going to fix Adaptive Mode OC for Maximus X Hero?

[Raja@ASUS]

same here man even on release bios i had the flucations bad.

i need 1.36 v and load line = 6 , 5.0 ghz 24 hr prime 95 stable never over shoots or under shoots on manual vcore .

i switchto adaptive and set loadline = 6 , max vcore adaptive to 1.36v ia/dc @ 0.01 and i get volt spikes to 1.36v - 1.402 v .........

if i goto load line level 5 instead of 6 i get 1.34 v - 1.392 v .... and a whea error since i need 1.36v ....

i played around with it for weeks always over shoot on the volts on adaaptive mode even in gaming i sset 1.36v and i get spikes to 1.392 and some times 1.402 v

i mean if we got a over shoot of 0.010 v ish spike thats nto to bad but 1.36v to 1.402 v spike on non avx loads is to much over shoot . and if i lower load line to level 5 or level 4 then id drops below 1.36v on high load wich i cant have happen since i need 1.36v for 5 ghz .


question : i have cache ratio @ min @ defult and max set to 46 .

i do not have ring down bin to on its on auto would ring down bin fix these volt spikes or no ?

question 2 : do we get these volt spikes only when raising the cpus cache past defult ?
if we leave cpu cache alone does it still spike ?

i wish it got fixed as adaptive mode is why i bought the x hero but its kinda borked atm and the audio as well :S

The rails are tied, so the cache ratio affects the requested VID. Intel changed the way Adaptive works for this gen. Not much we can do about it.

You have to set AVX clock to -2 from your normal clock speed or else in adaptive voltage it will give it alot more voltage when AVX loads are triggered. If you keep it 200 mhz under (-2) it will stay at the same voltage as your normal clock speed.
If you run normal clock and avx clock at the same clock speed it will give it something like 0.05 more voltage every time a avx load triggers.

This does not happen when using manual voltage.

Thanks, I’m going to try this tonight as every combination of adaptive settings I’ve tried for hours and hours of testing has not worked to prevent adaptive voltage spikes. Currently I’m running an AVX offset of 0 as it’s stable @ 5gh but will try knocking this down.*

I got mine built a month ago and I have the same problem.
Maximus X Hero wth latest BIOS, 9600K then 8700K. Adaptive will fluctuate even up to 1.5v.
Not messing with it anymore. Offset works okay instead of Adaptive. At lest then I can have the voltage drop all the way down to 0.7v when idle or web browsing.

Hi, I would like to set up my vcore to have the lowest voltage when browsing, working etc... I read here that there is an issue with the adaptive, Is it still the case?
Can someone help me set ip up?

no issues people set it up wrong .....

cpu svid = on
cpu svid = best case cinario
cpu ia / dc load line = 0.01
load line calibration = 1 setting from max

cpu voltage = adaptive
cpu total adaptive volts = ( type in your voltage here )

adaptive offset = + ( add some ) or minus - ( take some away ) from your set main adaptive volts .

example you get 1.300v total adaptive volts but get 1.360 v under heavy load use a minus - 0.060 v offset . same go for for vdrop use a + sign with a 0.060 v offset to add some .

using cpu auto voltage or adaptive mode " WILL HAVE VOLT SPIKES " up to 0.040 v spikes .

the only way to rid these 0.040 v spikes is to use a " AVX OFF SET OF - 1 OR - 2 in adaptive / auto mode )

using a - 1 avx offset = only 0.016 v spike on your set adaptive voltage example : you use 1.20 v set adaptive volts . under avx loads you get 1.240 v spike !

using -1 avx offset = 1.216 v uder load not 1.240v spike with out a avx offset .

i ran 5.1 ghz with a -1 avx ( 5.0 ghz ) with adaptive mode with 1.28 v adaptive and i only spike up to 1.296 v ( 0.016 v spike )
no avx offset i get 1.325 v spike .

now using a adaptive - negative sign offset doesnt solve this spiek issue as say you need 1.28 v min for 5.0 ghz so you set 1.28 v in bios . but you spike to 1.32v you use a minus - 0.040 v offset right so you get 1.28 v under load YES BUT you also taking away -0.040 v under idol load as well 1.28 v - 0.040v = 1.24v now 1.24 v for 5.0 ghz = bsod see what i mean .

try to not use to much - or + offset as you take away or add to the idol and load voltage stack .

use a -1 avs test under load see what spike you get ( 0.016 v ) or no avx = 0.040 v spike

hope this makes sence took me long time to figure it out

Thanks ! I did tried to set it up but I had issue,

I had

cpu svid = on
cpu svid = best case cinario
cpu ia / dc load line = 0.01
load line calibration = 5 but i need to put more then it goes untill 7

cpu voltage = adaptive
cpu total adaptive volts = 1.2



But in hwinfo when i got on windows i had bad overvoltage : https://zupimages.net/up/20/18/lqww.jpg

what would you suggest for values? thanks again

What Loadline Calibration did you use?

Adaptive voltage cannot be set below the CPU VID.
I highly doubt an adaptive voltage of 1.2v would work.
Also if that is not a Maximus XI board, the vcore sensor is Super I/O which will read a voltage rise at load compared to idle, but this is a measurement issue. Don't use Level 7 LLC. Try Level 5.

Did you set SVID Behavior to best case scenario?
If you did not, set it, OR set AC Loadline and DC Loadline manually to 0.01 mOhms.

Set LLC to level 5.
Set Adaptive voltage/additional turbo voltage (whatever it's called) to 1.35v
Your vcore readings should now be lower than that screenshot.

If it is, reduce it to 1.34v and do it again. Keep going lower until it stops working correctly or gets unstable, then raise it up 10mv.

[Asryan]

I have it on llc 5 yes and load lines are at 0.01, best case scenario.

Oh OK I thought I was supposed to put the stable manual vcore in the additional turbo that is what I did before actually on my former motherboard. Are you sure putting 1.35 will not give me an even higher vcore?

What should i put in offset?

is it better to use offset or adaptive mode?
