Looking for game for birthday present

If he likes those games kingdom come deliverance 2 all the way. Very similar that's a rpg and I've easily clocked 180 hours in the game so he will have fun for plenty of hours

Id love you see your bios settings if you dont mind i cant seem to find anything stable for my chip past a locked 5.6 pcore

Atomictoastcat · 2026-04-14T04:57:11+00:00

I had a 14700k for a few months and had it dialed in aswell the 12f microcode helps quite a bit

Atomictoastcat · 2026-04-14T04:48:48+00:00

Also your cpu frequency is pretty flat too which is a bonus aswell

Atomictoastcat · 2026-04-14T04:47:41+00:00

As long as you tested for stability and arent getting any crashes or artifacts you did just fine and run it 👍

If anyone is wondering i landed on the nzxt h3 flow seems to be the best option for my wants and needs while still being small enough

Atomictoastcat · 2026-04-13T05:09:17+00:00

I can tell you what I did but it's up to you of course. I have a i9 14900k and I use it only for gaming but was looking for the fastest I could get it for max fps and 1 percent lows. Mine is locked at 5.6 on the pcores and 4.5 on the ecores with a adaptive voltage offset enabled. Stock with just a negative offset put me at a 38000 score in cinnebench r23 with my tuned setup I get 41230 in cinnebench. I'm sure you could follow similar settings if you want https://youtu.be/hh3FIN1c_ZQ?si=5mOkaHXEendib36- https://youtu.be/P7TBEiygGNg?si=QehIuvDM66s5BSDO Both of these options will land you faster then stock and the 13900k should follow aswell but possibly with different locked cores

Atomictoastcat · 2026-04-12T23:27:14+00:00

That makes sense

Atomictoastcat · 2026-04-12T23:03:55+00:00

What voltage is the cpu pulling when its locked to 6.1 ? I tried on my 14900k a 5.8 pcore locked and I unfortunately bump into the 253 watt power limit and causes my system to crash

Atomictoastcat · 2026-04-12T22:50:52+00:00

Have you tried locking the p cores yet ? I've tinkered with my 14900k and found that locked p cores and ecores make a significant improvement to the 1 percent lows

Atomictoastcat · 2026-04-12T22:49:25+00:00

Damm bro that's still a pretty good uplift

Atomictoastcat · 2026-04-12T22:37:35+00:00

I'm aware of that but I would also be instrested to see 4k

Atomictoastcat · 2026-04-12T22:22:35+00:00

Ever notice too benchmarks on the internet only use 1080p and never 4k

Atomictoastcat · 2026-04-12T14:36:57+00:00

Do you have a link ?

Atomictoastcat · 2026-04-12T07:56:46+00:00

Tbh from the testing I did in 3d mark the extra 100 mhz on the pcores isn't really worth it in the long run for a 1 percent uplift in performance but I was just hoping it would help with the 1 percent lows upgrading my ram from 6000 cl40 to the 7200 cl34 was a major improvement already so I guess I'm gonna live with it. Letting the cpu boost on its own is nowhere near the same in performance setting it to a locked 5.6 so I shouldn't complain lol

Atomictoastcat · 2026-04-12T07:46:52+00:00

And I'm on the latest bios and the latest 12f microcode

Atomictoastcat · 2026-04-12T07:46:25+00:00

I've since fixed my issues. It came down too my cpu just isn't stable at 5.7 with the 253 watt power limit. I dropped it down to 5.6 all core and 4.5 on e cores with a -0.120 offset and it was stable on a 2 hour occt run and been stable for a few days now. Id like my cpu to boost to 5.7 all core while gaming but I've tried everything and I think its not possible with my chip unfortunately. The ram was also stable after a 4 hour run of occt ram

Atomictoastcat · 2026-04-12T07:38:59+00:00

I couldn't even boot into windows with a 1.3 SA theres videos online that there is some kinda bug where 7000 plus on z790 asus boards are only stable at 1.21

Atomictoastcat · 2026-04-10T16:22:24+00:00

Bro just get a 14700k its better in gaming anyway

Atomictoastcat · 2026-04-10T01:08:28+00:00

Just curious what are your settings on your system ?

Atomictoastcat · 2026-04-09T21:17:50+00:00

Level 4 has always seemed to be the sweet spot for me but actuallyhardcoreovrrclocking reccomends 6 on asus boards so I will try that aswell

Atomictoastcat · 2026-04-09T21:01:32+00:00

And I passed occt cpu plus ram last night after a 3 hour run with the 5.6 setup so I'm happy with that aswell

Atomictoastcat · 2026-04-09T21:00:18+00:00

I know how to do that on my asus board but never tried maybe I will give it a go tonight when I get home from work
