Adaptive Mode Issues

So this is getting pretty frustrating, I would really like to get this working but it's being a pain

After I have found my voltage (1.210V) that is stable for my OC, I changed from manual to adaptive and set the turbo to 1.210, Offset to Auto "+" as well as set Level 5 on LLC

I have tried every LLC level with adaptive running and I cannot get it to stop spiking 0.080V more than I have set, if anyone has an idea of why this is happening that would be awesome cause I ran out of ideas

PC SPECS

I7-7700k OC 4.8Ghz (1.210V Stable)
Kraken X62 Water Cooling
Asus Strix Z270F Mobo
NVIDIA 1080 Ti FE
2x 8gb (16gb) Corsair Vengeance Led Red

That's strange.... so you set adaptive and 1.210 and it spikes to 1.29, correct?
Can you check what your IA AC/DC Load Line settings are? It's in internal cpu mgmt, should be both set at 0.01.

Can you try raising the Vcore to say 1.25 (still on adaptive) and check if it spikes to 1.29 again?
If it doesn't spike, maybe 1.21 isn't as stable as you thought and the motherboard thinks the cpu needs more juice... just putting ideas out there.
Other than that, using manual voltage , enabled c states and windows balanced plan is just fine...1.21 vcore is really great for 4.8Ghz.

I'll have to try that out but yeah I ran multiple Stress tests and everything with 1.21 and its never crashed from it, but yeah I just want to be able to have 1.216 to be the very max to go to

If its shooting past the user set voltage set LLC to just above middle, then set you IA AC set it to 0.01 and do the same to IA DC 0.01(this only works in adaptive vcore mode) also disable Intel speedstep but leave Intel speed shift on I don't know if it'll help it helped me but im undervolting. Also windows gives a slightly off reading by +/-0.016 so what ever you set it at in you bios it should be very close. https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?91572-IA-AC-DC-Load-Line
Also you might be able to get away with setting the vcore to auto and changing everything back to Auto because of setting you're at is basically stock voltage for Intel i7 7700k. Btw how much did the temperature increase? I want to do the same stock voltage @4.7Ghz
