Hi I have Z690 Pro RS motherboard and I have upgraded to a 13700K. I have noticed that I am unable to apply a core offset lesser than -100mV in the BIOS. When using Intel's XTU I am too unable to apply a core offset value lesser than 0.000v.

Is it possible to have an undervolt lesser than -100mV, for example -150mV? Also if it's possible what are the possible method of achieving this under lock.

Hello, I am a very beginner overclocker, never done it before.

I want to run my i5-12600KF overclocked 24/7 and here are the only BIOS tweaks i have made:

CPU core / Cache Voltage: fixed mode

Fixed voltage: 1.3V

CPU core/cache load-line calibration: Level 4

CPU P core ratio: 50

CPU E core ratio: 40

Hyperthreading off

everything else I left at default.

I ran this on OCCT Small, Extreme, Variable, and AVX2 as well as the same thing but SSE for 1 hour each with no errors or crashes.

What else do I check so I know my overclock is safe to leave on 24/7?

Also, when I set my voltage to 1.3V in the BIOS, my CPU Vcore in HWmonitor reads 1.288V in idle, and 1.216-1.224V during a stress test. Is this normal?

One last question, how long will my CPU last with these OCs when let's say I run it 24/7?

On idle:

While testing:

Motherboard tweaks (everything else at default except XMP profile)

Any OC guide available for this board?

Just saw this youtube video but its Vietnamese which I don't speak.

Can anyone translate the important bits?

Totally inexperienced, but downloaded A Tuning because for whatever glitch I cant get into my bios from post, and that was faster and I have a slider in the oc tuning tab to overclock and Im wondering if I turn it up all the way is it going to fry my system? What are safe temperature parameters? Im asking here bc am hoping for an asrock experienced persons experience not just general oc proceedure. Appreciate you very much! Going to use the pc for video games like diablo 4, call of duty warzone, pubg, fifa 23, etc.

So, according to VideoCardz, Asrock once again has done some shady stuff with their entry / mid-range Z690 by limiting the Base Frequency Boost power setting, on a Z690 chipset board even, probably by cheaping out on the quality of the VRM

This topic has been brought up by HUB over again and again on Z490 / Z590, and Asrock still hasn't learned their lesson in this new Z690 generation.

What's the point of buying a K CPU if your board got limited to 135W? This is truly unacceptable

Hi guys,

Got my board a few days ago and trying my hand at overclocking my 12700k. First i tried just upping the multiplier on the p-cores and see leaving everything else on Auto. I eventually hit 5ghz p-core but vcore voltage auto’d to 1.345v or there abouts and its pumping out serious heat around 88-89c on a custom loop.

I tried to fix the voltage and adjust LLC but the voltage won’t hold, i tried a lower value of around 1.33v but when i check in windows its still the same auto values.

LLC works fine and so far with voltage on auto i have managed a 4.9ghz p-core with LLC level 5 which sets the voltage after vdrop to 1.28v and stays cool during R23 bench around 72c.

No adjustment to e-cores or ring ratio yet.

Has anyone else had much luck with theirs and what settings you used?

Thanks
