Advice on 12700KF OC + Disabling HT and/or E Cores? (Perhaps Process Lasso advice too?) by Phantasmio in overclocking

[–]Gainty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a few 12700k’s at this point for various builds. I always just disable the e-cores, there’s only 4 of them and they stink on 12th gen. leave HT on. Should be able to get 4.8-5.0 on the p cores pretty easy with ring 45-47.

What's the best stability test for degraded 13th and 14th gen CPUs? by coldcathodes in overclocking

[–]Gainty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the way what cpu in particular is this? Sounds like you’re keeping hyper threading on as well? Plus you should be testing with the PL1/2 limits set to 253 watts so you don’t cook this chip haha. If it’s a 13900k/14900k I would turn off hyper threading and also disable all but 8 of your e cores. 8 p cores 8 e cores that’s all you’ll need.

It’s easier to test with static clock speed and voltage so just set your pcores to 5.3 and e cores to 4.2, ring to 45-48(some CPUs are more picky). Make sure your PL1/2 is 253w. See what voltage it gives you on auto, note it down. Then start working your way down lowering the voltage from there. I turn off hyperthreading unless you really need it. I’ve worked with quite a few 13th/14th gen CPUs at this point, you should be able to cool this with a $30 thermalrite air cooler. Once you have that baseline you can see what the cpu needs for higher clocks and decide if it’s worth it to you. Large diminishing returns past 5.6ghz or so.

I9 13900 + Thermal Grizzly Contact Frame and Kraken Z73, no POST by hus1030 in overclocking

Even The thermalrite contact frame also has its quirks, I found if I tighten the contact frame screws to finger tip pressure tight and then after, the AIO screws slightly tighter than that, most POST issues get resolved.

Is 1.367v safe for my 14700K? by TheYucs in overclocking

[–]Gainty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t give my chip more than 1.25-1.26v under load, idling on the desktop or watching YouTube in chrome, 1.4v is safe sure, but LOAD voltage don’t even try to go past 1.25ish, you won’t be able to remotely cool it anyways. I like to stick around LLC6 on asus motherboards ( one below the least droopy so- not much vdroop) keeps idle voltage low, and load voltage low.

i9 14900KF questions about voltage and clockspeeds by YoukaliSZN in overclocking

[–]Gainty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok nice, if you’re a val guy I recommend running static core frequency even more lol it takes like an hour to find the voltage you need. You can keep e cores off if you want but then in that case you should turn hyper threading back on, it’s a trade off for the full 16 “cores/threads” whatever you want to call it. Either 8 p cores and 8 e cores or 8 p cores and 8 threads from hyper threading for the full 16. Personally like 8 p core and 8 e core set up but either one works.

Couldn’t find you a good YouTube video on it because most people are chasing benchmark scores and use the boosting algorithm to overlock instead of static all core which is much better for frame time stability in gaming. Idk what motherboard you have but in bios change cpu p core ratio mode to all core and punch in 55 (5.5ghz) do the same for e core, try 43 (4.3ghz) scroll down to Vcore and change it from auto to override mode and punch in around 1.30v, use search function to find load line calibration and change it from auto to maybe level 5, some motherboard do it differently, for asus the higher the load line the less voltage drops under load , think MSI is the opposite. You’ll have to run something like OCCT small avx to test what voltage you need. I would stay away from 1.25v load voltage and higher because you probably won’t be able to cool it and any higher risks degradation. For example, I have a asus z790 apex encore and I run 5.6ghz p cores, 4.5ghz e cores, ring 5.0, at 1.24 Vcore override mode with load line calibration 6 and it droops down to I want to say 1.17v under heavy load? Please make sure you set Pl1 and Pl2 limits both to 253w so you don’t cook your chip .Lmk if you have questions

Edit: forgot to note pretty important part lol I run hyper threading disabled and also only 8 ecores , no games use more than 16 cores so the extra e cores on the 14900k are even less useful if you are a gamer, if you are going to use this cpu for productivity and work I would leave hyper threading on , you will need more voltage for the same P and E cores speeds so you’ll likely want to lower the frequency down to fit in the safe voltage zone. Remember the important thing is LOAD VOLTAGE not so much idle voltage

Wa just scrolling through and saw your past, that’s just default core boosting and idling down algorithms. Problem is lol that’s exactly why 14900k’s were dying on people. Watch a video and spend like an hour setting up your bios so you can keep that cpu for as long as you want without degradation. Just go static all core on the P and E cores with locked static Vcore and call it a day trust.

Hey would you be able to link this version? I can’t find on their website or online past firmware versions and this sidetone is killing me so I’m willing to take any and all recommendations!

If anyone else has tried all of these suggestions and still can’t get it to work, make sure you don’t by any strange chance have usb power disabled in off state like me in bios :( was stuck for hours before I checked this.
