Setting adaptive voltage in my BIOS always results in a higher voltage. In my BIOS I configure it to 1.2V, but during actual use or gaming it consistently reaches 1.3V. The voltage offset I apply in the BIOS influences the output, yet the main CPU voltage I select does not impact the real value.

Adjusting adaptive voltage in my BIOS causes the CPU to receive a significantly higher voltage. In my BIOS I set it to 1.2V, but during computer or gaming sessions the voltage consistently rises to 1.3V. The voltage offset used in the BIOS influences the actual output, while the main CPU voltage I select does not impact the real value.

When using Adaptive Mode, modify these settings under the Internal CPU Power Management section:
- IA AC Load Line to 0.01
- IA DC Load Line to 0.01
Maintaining these values ensures the Adaptive Mode voltage stays near the user-defined setting during full processor load.

Not a specialist in overclocking here, but the adaptive sounds more like an auto setting than an offset mode. If that's true, the motherboard will almost always supply your CPU with a bit more voltage than needed for stability. You'll likely need to adjust this yourself regularly.
