Hello, thank you for your patience while reading this. I'm not very confident with English.
The specifications are: CPU i7 4790k, CPU cooler NZXT X62, memory Z97-P, power supply EVGA 750W G2.
I begin by adjusting my "CPU voltage" to 1.230 in the BIOS using adaptive mode.
When I check with CPU-Z, it shows the voltage as 1.270, and occasionally it increases to 1.318.
Currently, it's set to manual, which keeps the voltage at 1.230 even when connected to the desktop.
I want to switch to adaptive mode but can't because it increases the voltage instead.
I'm confused about why adaptive mode causes the voltage to drop to 1.270.
Please help me...

As Evvvvv mentions, the LLC setting is crucial. Adjust it to its middle position and observe the results, then modify it to reach your desired voltage. On my system, which uses a Gigabyte motherboard, I have options like Auto, medium, High, Turbo, and Extreme... Other manufacturers may offer different ranges such as 1 to 12...

Hello thank you for your patience while reading this. I'm not very confident with English.
Details:
CPU: i7 4790k
CPU Cooler: NZXT X62
Memory: Z97-P
Power Supply: EVGA 750W G2
I begin by adjusting my "CPU voltage" to 1.230 in the BIOS using "adaptive mode".
When I run "CPU-Z", it reports a voltage of 1.270, and occasionally it rises to 1.318.
Currently, it's set to "manual," so it continues using 1.230 even on the desktop.
I want to switch to "adaptive mode" but can't because it increases the voltage instead.
I'm confused about why "adaptive mode" causes the voltage to drop to 1.270 when I enable it.
Please help...
You should increase the accuracy setting and set Load Line Calibration to a higher value.
