Offset adds a specified voltage throughout the frequency range of the processor.
Adaptive adds voltage only to turbo mode.
Find the voltage needed for your overclock first by using manual mode.
After you find that input the same voltage under adaptive

I know this thread is getting on a bit now but it kept coming up in my search for info on adaptive v offset voltage so I thought I'd add a few comments for others if they arrived here too looking for info.
Firstly, be aware that any offset isn't just +ve, it can also be -ve. Some CPUs , eg the 4790k, can run very hot with a more than generous standard voltage and can be undervolted a fair bit. Chips and therefore your results will vary.
Secondly, in my experience, Offset and Adaptive are essentially the same thing. Both give you the option of changing the stock voltage (up or down) by a pre-determined amount across the voltage range whilst still allowing you to use Intel speed step(EIST), with the voltage adapting accordingly - setting a fixed voltage manually stops speed step doing it's full thing and you get a constant voltage, wasted energy etc etc, although you probable want to use this when trying to find your optimum load voltage when OC'ing..
Although offset is still 'adaptive' in that it adapts the voltage to the load/demand conditions via speedstep that's all it does throughout the full range. The adaptive setting does this too BUT the one difference that the adaptive setting gives you is an additional option to set the turbo mode voltage as an absolute separate figure not affected by the offset.
Therefore it isn't just an offset, it is more adaptive 😄
