Try enabling Asus multicore enhancement. That did stop my 8600k from overvolting on adaptive mode. But I don't have a clue why the value I enter for vcore sticks if you enable Asus multicore enhancement.

I disagree. My vcore and thereby the temperature gets WAY higher when Asus multicore enhancement is disabled. But could it be that Asus multicore enhancement makes the vrms unable to make the vcore oscillate at a too high vcore?

Hi, newbie here. Well sort of. One that has read a lot, but doesn't have much experience. I have overclocked my 8600k at 4.8 Ghz at 1.3 vcore. XMP profile is turned on (Ram). LLC is set to level 5. Yes, it is an Asus MB (z370-f). All cores are synced. I have settled on applying adaptive vcore after my testing done on manuel vcore. Adaptive vcore does to my understanding make the vcore scale down while not being needed. Unlike overclocks with manual vcore. At manual vcore your clock speed might scale down depending on your windows power options, C state and Intel SpeedStep settings. But the vcore stays the same. In the beginning I had issues with adaptive vcore not sticking to the value I applied. I would do 1.3 volts vcore. When I then boot the vcore value in HWmonitor is 1.45-1.48 volts. But I have found that if I put Asus Multicore Enhancement on "Auto" from recommended "disabled" the applied adaptive vcore is respected and it stays at the 1.3 volts. Have anyone else had the same experience with adaptive vcore? Why does adaptive not function as I intend while Asus multicore enhacement is disabled?
