Asus Z370 Maximus X Motherboards

I've never been able to load a .CMO file from USB. I use generic terms like 53.CMO

Also, at least on this board, there is no longer an adaptive option. Auto-Manual-Offset only. I rarely ever used it anyway. It never seemed to work right for me which is probably why it is not there anymore.

You need to enable: BCLK Aware Adaptive Voltage & CPU SVID Support

In BIOS:

Ai Overclock Tuner [XMP]
XMP [XMP DDR4-3000 15-17-17-35-1.35V]
BCLK Frequency [100.0000]
ASUS MultiCore Enhancement [Disabled]
SVID Behavior [Auto]
AVX Instruction Core Ratio Negative Offset [3]
CPU Core Ratio [Sync All Cores]
1-Core Ratio Limit [50]
2-Core Ratio Limit [50]
3-Core Ratio Limit [50]
4-Core Ratio Limit [50]
5-Core Ratio Limit [50]
6-Core Ratio Limit [50]
BCLK Frequency : DRAM Frequency Ratio [Auto]
DRAM Odd Ratio Mode [Enabled]
DRAM Frequency [DDR4-3000MHz]
Xtreme Tweaking [Enabled]
TPU [Keep Current Settings]
CPU SVID Support [Enable this]
CPU Core/Cache Current Limit Max. [255.50]
Ring Down Bin [Auto]
Min. CPU Cache Ratio [Auto]
Max CPU Cache Ratio [47]
BCLK Aware Adaptive Voltage [Enable this too]
CPU Core/Cache Voltage [Manual Mode]
- CPU Core Voltage Override [1.400]
DRAM Voltage [1.3500]

Oh And CPU SVID Support too, sorry

As Cliff S has pointed out Adaptive voltage is there, it's what I use. :)

From your screen it shows you haven't enabled the 2 options I mentioned, try it Steve.

Mine is setup and same almost as Steve's. I see no use for Adaptive voltage setting anyhow. I either use Manual mode (OC'n Heavy) or Offset mode. With these settings I seem to have a very fast rig too. Of course I have got a lot of my information from Steve over the years too. He still is the Master when it comes to any ASUS board, in my opinion. :)

I used to use it on my MSI Z170 board and it worked great, never going over my Vcore setting, but on this board, the Vcore would jump to dangerous levels(>1.52v), so I went right back to manual. So I just use all the C States instead on this board for daily use, to use less energy and keep the CPU a bit cooler.

Well we seem to have our cpu's running at same speed, 5.0 Cliff. My vcore is 1.264, and my temps unless I am benchmarking are pretty low in normal use.

Cliff, I can't use SVID on this board. It causes dangerously high Vcore spikes. I have to use a negative offset to enable SVID.
