I just don't understand the advantage of this setting at all. In my case it will jump the voltage up too much for my liking.
I have Asus Z97-AR / I5-4670k. I read that it will spike voltage in stress tests but it will in other things too..for one Windows Defender. Just got started for a mild OC on this board here are my results..Using manual mode in bios. I know it only ran for 15 minutes on the test but I haven't any issues. So just keep it on manual or play some more with adaptive?
 
I've never used Adaptive voltages as I also found it to add too much voltage. Less vcore and more adaptive resulted in not enough or too much. I just left it alone and used the vcore instead with the LLC setting. What I set in vcore is what's reported in both cpuz and hwm.
