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?

 
Solution
Adaptive mode auto changes your voltage depending on load. When overclocking you always want to use Override/ manual mode. Sometimes even offset. Most of the time I will use Manual+offset to get my desired voltage
