X99 Adaptive Core Voltage

Hi,

So I've found a stable voltage and I want to move from manual cpu voltage to adaptive.

When I move the setting to Adaptive Mode then input the voltage into the Additional Turbo Mode CPU Voltage, the PC will not post at all with a mobo code of 96.
The mobo is an Asus Rampage V extreme.
I've tried entering a higher voltage into the box which I know will be more than sufficient. And still it won't post.

Is adaptive broken on x99 or something?

I've left all the other settings below it set to AUTO.
I just have the CPU core voltage and ram voltages set.
BCLK is set to 125 as this is what XMP sets it to.

Any suggestions please to what it might be?

Thanks

EDIT:
Seems to be something to do with having BCLK at 125. At 100 it posts.
Any ideas?

Still trying to work this one out.

I've done further digging. Can anyone confirm that the following is correct?

BCLK 125 is not compatible with Adaptive CPU Core Voltage? Only BCLK 100 is?

With RAM anything over 2400Mhz is BCLK 125 since the Intel memory controller on the chip does not support anything above 2400Mhz. So you need to OC BLCK to get anything 2400Mhz+?

My question is... it seems possible to get ram at 2666Mhz BCLK 100. But would/should this be instability hell?

Thanks in advanced to any helpers!

I dont use adaptive volts at all matey - overclocks will nearly always be lower to try and keep things stable - I always have mine set so they are at their max overclock all the time.

Dancing volts and speeds will cause issues and instability.

There may be a way round it but its actually not something that interests me at all and I dont really see the point with such high end kit.

I always use a fixed voltage on mine.

For everyday use I run the CPUs @4.0

If I want to do some benching it only takes a minute to raise the overclock and voltage in the bios.
