Asus Adaptive voltage help

So guys, I have found my sweet spot overclock that I desired on my 4670k which is 4.5 @ 1.244 volts. I found this in manual mode, and I have successfully passed Intel burn test on extreme for 10 passes, Intel extreme tuning utility, I ran AIDA 64 for 4 hours not a problemand even prime 95 stress for 1 hour.
Now I want to change my settings to adaptive, I know some people don't like this feature but there is no point running my CPU full ball with fans blowing crazy loud when i'm say browsing the net etc, and games don't stress the CPU out more then the stress tests so I am perfectly fine with it.

My problem is that when I adjust in the bios from manual mode to adaptive, all the settings change and look fine (I just plugged the specified voltages into the turbo boost) I exit and save seems promising, I check my CPU and well to my disappointment it's still exactly the same as manual mode. I cant get adaptive mode to work for a day of tinkering now and its beginning to bug me so here I am. It reads as adaptive voltage but CPU even with 2% load, is 4500hz and 1.244 volts. and fans are maximum RPM.
hope you guys can help, cheers

Oh my god... after sifting through countless forums and reading through pointless things and getting no where went back to the drawing board. and thought to myself... what else could be stopping it from going back down. I swear a sticky should be put somewhere on this stupid setting. Under power options if your computer is set to high performance instead of balance it will not scale down but rather stay at exactly what you specified regardless of manual or adaptive mode.

Holy cow I cannot thank you more I even created an account just to reply to you! this info is really helpful since I had the same problem though I wasn't too bothered by it. Decided to google it like 5 minutes ago and voila! a solution right there! I have the same processor too running at similar voltage at 1.245! :D  what a coincident!

Glad I could help, I remember looking for a very long time. I now have my processor running at 4.7 Ghz with 4.6 cache @ 1.37V so i sort of upped my overclock.
