Good to see another video addressing the main problem with Raptor Lake - bad voltage settings with the main cause being bad LLC settings. I like that you also included the LLC settings for MSI and Asus.
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful. Proper LLC settings are often overlooked but make a huge difference in stabilizing voltage and temps. I’ll keep covering key BIOS tweaks to help get the best out of Raptor Lake! 🚀💻
Also, just tried one more run. Disabled the Intel graphics, thanks to your suggestion, but kept the old F10 bios, and got like -10°C on both max and average temp, with CB R23 Score of 34793. Which is actually the best score I ever had on this PC. Very pleased with temps drop to 82°C max and 70°C on average under 100% load. That is actually incredible news since in general use CPU never reaches such loads, so should run much cooler when gaming.
*That's great to hear, and I'm glad the temps have dropped so much! It's awesome that you got your best CB R23 score and a noticeable reduction in temps. Disabling the Intel graphics can definitely help with reducing temperatures since it's not using resources for the iGPU when not needed.*
You're very welcome! I'm glad to hear it's working great for your i7 13700K with better temps and performance! 🎉 If you ever want to explore more optimizations, stay tuned - I’m working on some deeper guides. Enjoy your setup! 😊
You're very welcome, my friend! 😊 If you're following the settings from this video, it doesn’t matter whether undervolt protection is active or disabled because Intel defaults will rewrite it anyway. Just stick to the guide, and you'll be in a safe and optimized zone! 👍
Glad to hear you found a setup that works for you! The XOC BIOS and manual tuning can definitely give you great control over your system. For those not ready to dive into that level of customization, my guide offers a safer initial setup with room for future optimization. Feel free to share your settings or tips- it might help others experiencing similar crashes! 🚀🖥️
7:42 Its safe now. Proceeds to show 20+ BIOS settings changed in conjuction with ''Intel default settings''. Seriously. If I ran the older BIOS with no microcode upgrades but with all the limits in place not to cook the CPU, would that be fine also? I seriously don't want to be going through this settings once again. Let alone do all the testing. I've done plenty testing with previous bios [F10] and it works fine on first sight? 14700K, 360 AIO, Z790 Gaming X AX [F10 bios], 2x16GB DDR5 XMP1 @6000Mhz - Internal Vcore offset = -0.100V - AI VR = 1400mV - PL1 = PL2 = 253W - ICCMax = 307A - Enhanced multi-core performance = disabled - Under voltage protection = disabled - XMP = XMP1 [2x16GB DDR5 @6000Mhz] CB R23 Score of 34429 Results: - V core: 1.344V - Power: 228,3W -Temp: 91°C max -Temp: 80°C average - VID: 1.335V - Vcore: 156A - VRVcc: 190A
I totally understand not wanting to go through all the settings again! However, I would still recommend using the latest BIOS with the settings from my video for the best stability and performance. Older BIOS versions, like F10, might work fine now, but they may miss out on some important fixes or optimizations that come with newer releases. While your current setup with the older BIOS might seem stable, the newer BIOS versions tend to offer improvements that could help with long-term stability and reduce any potential issues down the line. If you’re happy with your current results and don’t mind the risk of missing out on optimizations, that’s totally fine, but just keep in mind that updating BIOS can often fix things we don’t realize could cause problems later
@saveroomorg so what's the solution for this same as you mentioned.? In this video.. also I'm brother by the non stop fan spikes . Even on idle it will spike and go down.. like waves of fan speeds up and down . For no reason
I’m currently getting a 13700k and a Aorus pro x motherboard and I’m new to pc gaming do you have any steps on how to get the optimal performance for ddr5 6400mhz 32gb memory without risking any issues to my new system and sacrificing fps
Congratulations on your new build! 🎉 If you want to keep CEP and Intel default settings enabled, I recommend following the current video step-by-step as an initial setup. This will ensure safe and optimized performance for your system. I'm also working on the next level of optimizations specifically for CEP and Intel defaults, so stay tuned! If you’re open to further tuning, you can try my easy undervolting guide for even better performance and lower temperatures: ua-cam.com/video/LZA-h9yUV50/v-deo.htmlsi=1REbUx5LkM3CJAgj Let me know if you need more help, and enjoy your gaming experience! 🎮🔥
Yea at intel default vid goes up to 1.44v ... I set it at 1.35v at a clock of 5.6ghz . Seems to me intel just don't care , they also ruined the setting boost clock at x amount of cores.
You're absolutely right - Intel's default settings can be overly aggressive with voltage, leading to unnecessarily high temps and power draw. Setting a manual voltage of 1.35V with a 5.6GHz clock is a smart move for better efficiency and performance. The loss of finer-grained control like per-core boost clocks is frustrating, but manual tuning like yours ensures you're not leaving performance on the table while maintaining better thermal behavior. Great job fine-tuning your setup!
Just lock SA and Vcore to 1.434v, sync all cores and raise p, e and l3 as high as this voltage will support while being under 250w TDP and set LLC to 6.
That’s a solid approach for maximizing performance if you’re into manual tuning! For those looking for a safer, beginner-friendly setup, I cover adaptive undervolting and balanced BIOS tweaks in my videos. Stability and efficiency can go hand in hand! 🔧💻
Absolutely! Locked voltages can be great for max performance but sacrifice power efficiency and thermals during lighter tasks. Variable clocks with adaptive voltage keep the system cooler and quieter while still delivering top performance when needed. It's all about finding the right balance for your use case! 🔧🔥💻
Yes, the same principles work for the 14900K as well. You can follow the steps in this video for a safe starting point. The main difference might be adjusting the power limits- setting PL1 and PL2 to around 253W should work well. If you're unsure or want a more tailored setup, stay tuned-I'm working on more detailed guides for various CPUs, including the 14900K! 😊
@saveroomorg thanks ...but I have some issues that when I set pl1=pl2=253 temprature still spike to 95 on maximum load ... I am using ANT ESPORTS ICE-240 ARGB 240mm liquid cooler and from india where in summers temperature spike to 47°c.....should I change liquid cooler also....btw thanks for your feedback I am surely waiting for next video on 14900k
@@honeykaushal6865 You're welcome! The purpose of this video was to make the CPU safe under Intel Defaults, and temperatures spiking up to 95°C is expected during maximum load under these settings-Intel has designed their CPUs to handle this safely. However, it's definitely not the most optimal or long-term safe temperature. For now, I suggest checking out my easy undervolting guide, which can help significantly lower temperatures and improve efficiency while maintaining performance - ua-cam.com/video/LZA-h9yUV50/v-deo.htmlsi=1O7iRfg_1ni80yY6 Your liquid cooler should generally be sufficient, but with ambient temperatures reaching 47°C, it may struggle during extreme loads. Once you apply the undervolting steps, see how it performs-upgrading the cooler might not be necessary if temps stabilize. Stay tuned 😊
@@saveroomorg thanks a lot I will definitely do it .......and plz suggest good liquid cooler for my surroundings ambient temperatures if it required in advance.....
@@honeykaushal6865 Ideally you want a 14900K paired with a 360mm AIO. The best air coolers approach similar performance to many 240mm AIO coolers so while there is a benefit to 240mm AIO coolers over air coolers it is often not very substantial and with a power hungry chip like the 13th and 14th gen i9 CPUs the far more substantial benefit of a 360mm AIO is almost necessary. Your liquid cooler is generally sufficient, sure, but not recommended. If your case is compatible with a 360mm radiator consider upgrading to the Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 AIO.
you’re capping the voltage instead of fixing the cause of high vcore voltage. simply sync all cores at the correct voltage sweetspot for your chip. 14900ks is about x56. still using apex encore bios v1286 and no degradation no microcode
Thank you for sharing your approach! While syncing all cores can work well for enthusiasts familiar with manual overclocking, my guide focuses on a safer, more universally applicable method that works across different setups, even for users new to BIOS tuning. By capping the voltage and enabling Intel's default power management features, I aim to balance performance, thermals, and long-term stability without risking instability or requiring extensive manual tuning. I'm also working on a more in-depth guide for undervolting and performance optimization. This video was just the initial step toward safe and stable tuning. Thanks again for your input!
I would recommend against using someone else's BIOS settings file, as every setup is unique, and even small differences in components or silicon quality can lead to different results. Instead, I suggest following the step-by-step instructions in my video guide. This way, you can adjust the settings to match your specific system for the best results and stability. You'll be all set with that approach! Let me know if you need any help along the way.
The video focuses on ensuring safe and optimized settings, even with the latest firmware updates. If you've already explored those updates, that's great! But for anyone unsure or new, it's always good to have a clear guide to get started. 😊
You lose massive performance with the intel default setting and you should be undervolting anyway so idk why you’re keeping a poorly optimized general bios profile enabled for a chip that gets an optimized profile released for every mono worth a damn out of the box. Sure they caused degradation issues but they left the option available for you to tune it yourself and warned you it WOULD DEGRADE FASTER IF YOU IVERCLOCK. Ppl can’t blame Intel when we overclocking does what overclocking does when done poorly.
The main purpose of this video is to demonstrate how to achieve a 100% safe setup while keeping CEP and Intel defaults enabled, ensuring long-term stability and preparing for future optimizations. I aim to cover the entire spectrum of how Intel CPUs can be managed safely, from secure stock settings to advanced tuning. While undervolting and custom BIOS profiles can unlock more performance, not everyone is comfortable with those adjustments. This guide serves as a foundational approach for those prioritizing stability and reliability. Stay tuned, as I'm already working on more in-depth optimizations that build upon this setup! 😊💪
I disabled integrated graphics settings if you're on the k series. And I just undervolt to offset -0.050, -0.075 is also ok but i got stable performance with max temp of 60c when gaming. I just left everything alone. Don't forget to enable resize bar. And I'm not using xmp and if you are just leave your max speed to 5600mt/s max or just turn off xmp and leave default speed ram to 4800
XMP is perfectly fine if its values are better than manual overclocking. It's a convenient and safe option for most users. I’m also thinking about creating a memory overclocking guide if there’s enough interest. Let me know if that’s something you’d find helpful! 💻🚀
@saveroomorg my pc crashes whenever I use xmp for some reason. 13600k, aorus z690 elite ax mobo. Latest bios. That's why I leave it on 4800mhz. Anything above that I get random crashing sometimes 5 hours later sometimes 10 minutes on
