7700k Kaby Lake + Z270 Classified. I've been trying to overclock with this board and have found that when trying to manually set the voltage, the V drops significantly with vdroop enabled. I set it to 1.40 and under load drops to 1.306.
 
If I set the V to Adaptive and manual voltage say to 1.36, adaptive will jack UP the voltage to 1.45V. I just want a nice stable voltage to test stability but I can't seem to get a break on how far up/down it goes. I need to play with this arrangement more but with either 1.4 as a base setting or 1.36, the voltage still spiked to 1.45 as adaptive. I will try a significantly lower idle V later to see if this is still the case where 1.45 will be the adaptive load for 5.0ghz regardless.
 
Is there any plans for a Load Line Calibration setting in future? I can't work with the idea that either my load will be extreme or my idle will be extreme in voltage. Temp wise, I'm running a AIO 280mm radiator so I'm 30C with my tDelta.

    Have you tried to set the adaptive voltage to like 1.25 with an offset? See if that helps?  I second the idea of the LLC, seems like every other board maker has this feature but EVGA.

    I have not found any combination of settings that keep the temp and voltages stable for 5.0ghz operation other than the auto and offset combination.
     
    I simply leave it in auto and push the offset till it reads 1.325 V in windows/bios. Under load at 5.0, it will hit 1.42V and hold stable there and temps are low 80's under prime AVX load and low 70's under every other non avx benchmark testing. I can live with the variable voltages since they are stable under 24hour testing under all conditions for me. It's just different from every other build I've done for 20 years.
