Hello AndrewkROG

Let's see if we can get the voltage close to what you're setting.

In the bios - CPU Power Management

Set:

IA AC Load Line .01
IA DC Load Line .01

F10 and Enter

If it still goes to 1.296v, enter a negative offset of -0.030v, this should put the voltage at 1.265v or very close to it.

adaptive is still broken on asus x hero latest bios . 5 ghz 1.36v total adaptive volts . load line =6 i get over shoot up to 1.402 v in some games ( bf1 ) fo rslight second .....
well why dont you try load line 5 or 4 ? cause if i go to level 5 my volts drop below 1.36v and get under shoot and a whea error hope they fix it ...

Yeah, i'm not messing with Adaptive again. 1.5v is too scary for me (nope, that issue still isn't fixed with latest BIOS)

i have fixed my adaptive volts - spikes 100 % and have posted how and what i did or should i say discovered the work around

load line level 6
ia/dc load line =0.01
svid best case
cpu power limits maxed

now say you set adaptive to 1.3v when u play a game or ap pthat uses avx you will get a 0.036v spike or more 1.3v + 0.036 v = 1.36v or more . some times close to 1.4v
n ow u can lower load line calibration but it doesnt help what i have found that solved all my adaptive 5.0 ghz over clock volt spikes was to set a
- 1 avx offset

why ? do that cause when you use a avx offset of - 1 you only get a spike of 0.016 v vs 0.036 v + with out avx offset -1 1.3v + 0.016v spike = 1.316v
using load line level 6 that is

im currently @ 5.1 ghz with avx offset - 1 ( 5.0 ghz on avx loads ) @ 1.36v adaptive with power saving and c states enabled i get a max volt spike to 1.376v ( 0.016v spike )
witch i can live with thats with in normal i can sleep at night knowing adaptive mode is working fine .

test it out your self 🙂 hope this helps

It's not possible to lock in adaptive completely. Nothing is broken, it's just down to how Intel implements things. You can alway use manual vcore if this bothers you.
