Hi everyone, I hope someone could help me with my problem

My problem is: When I overclock my CPU to 4.6GHz on 1.225V on "manual" mode it stays at 1.225V.
When I switch to "adaptive" mode and I'm checking my CPU-Z It says 1.278V
Why would it do that when I set it to 1.225V?
I would like this to work since it gives lower temps.

Specs:
i7 4790k
NZXT X62
Z97-P
750W Gold
16 GB Ram
 
Solution
Oh weird, well I'll break it down for you then:

Level 1 = Regular
Level 2 = Medium
Level 3 = High
Level 4 = Ultra High
Level 5 = Extreme

Start at around level 2.
