What exact motherboard brand and model are you using? And what do you need it for?

Hi there! Here is how to enable Thunderbolt in your BIOS. Please follow these steps and options: >>> Enter BIOS Setup: • Restart your computer. • Press the BIOS key (usually Del, F2, or Esc) during boot-up. This key varies based on the manufacturer, but the BIOS access prompt usually appears at the bottom of the screen when the computer starts. >>> Find Thunderbolt Settings: • Navigate to the Advanced or Configuration tab (this depends on your BIOS layout). • Look for a section called Thunderbolt Configuration or Thunderbolt Settings. >>> Enabling Thunderbolt: • Within the Thunderbolt Configuration, find the Enable Thunderbolt or similar option. • Switch it from Disabled to Enabled. >>> Configure Additional Options (if available): • You might find additional Thunderbolt options such as: • Security Level: Options might include No Security, User Authorization, or Secure Connect. • Thunderbolt Boot Support: Enable this if you want to use Thunderbolt devices during boot-up. >>> Save Changes: • Once enabled, navigate to the Exit tab. • Select Save Changes and Exit. >>> Boot into Windows: • After saving, the computer will reboot. Once in Windows, you can check if Thunderbolt 4.0 is enabled through the Thunderbolt Control Center or Device Manager. Important: If you don’t see the Thunderbolt option in the BIOS, make sure your motherboard supports Thunderbolt 4.0 (by checking in your motherboard’s manual) and the necessary updated drivers and firmware are installed. Lastly if all these are followed, you might want your actual Thunderbolt 4.0 device checked for any physical product hardware malfunction or defect from your vendor or store where you bought it. I hope this helps. Thank you. Please like and subscribe for more quality and informative videos. Keep safe and have fun!

@@tweakmixbuilds Hi, thank you for a swift and extended explanation. Sadly, no option in bios for enabling tb4. Pc is Asus TUF F15 FX507ZC4 MB support tb4 acording to manual, all drivers updated. Strangely, when pluged into usbc port, device manager shows thunderbolt 3 (usb-c) to thunderbolt 2 adapter under USB devices. But that is all, cannot do anithyng else with that. Using adapters tb3 to usbc and tb to firewire adapter in order to connect my sony digital8 camcorder.

@@dragandragan6469 What is the brand and exact model of your Thunderbolt 4.0 device?

@@tweakmixbuilds Sorry for late replay. Its Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter ​​​​​​​.

Apple to PC compatibility may depend on the specific devices you’re connecting. Some features, like display output or specific peripherals, may require drivers or additional software, and not all functions may work equally well across platforms.

What suggestions do you need? Is it related to daily use or for gaming?

@@tweakmixbuilds for gaming bro

Enable Advanced Mode: • Once in the BIOS, press F7 to switch from EZ Mode to Advanced Mode. Navigate to the AI Tweaker tab: • In Advanced Mode, go to the AI Tweaker tab. This section contains the options for overclocking your CPU and adjusting core settings. Adjust P-Core and E-Core Ratios: • Look for the options labeled P-Core Ratio and E-Core Ratio. • These settings allow you to manually set the core ratios (multipliers) for your P-cores and E-cores, which determines their frequency. The formula is: Core Frequency = Base Clock (BCLK) x Core Ratio For example, if the base clock (BCLK) is 100 MHz and you set the P-Core ratio to 50, your P-core frequency will be 5.0 GHz. Adjust Core Voltage (optional): • To maintain stability when increasing the frequency, you may need to adjust the core voltage. This can be done under the CPU Core Voltage setting in the same AI Tweaker tab. However, increase voltage cautiously to avoid overheating or damage. Enable/Disable Specific Cores (optional): • If you want to enable or disable specific cores, go to the Advanced tab, select CPU Configuration, and then look for options related to core enabling/disabling, like Active E-Core Count or Active P-Core Count. Save and Exit: • After making the necessary changes, press F10 to save and exit. Your PC will reboot with the new settings. Important: • Be cautious when adjusting voltages and core frequencies, as improper settings can cause system instability or damage your CPU. • You can monitor temperatures and stability through stress testing software like Prime95 or Intel’s XTU (Extreme Tuning Utility). Make sure to have good CPU cooling and chassis ventilation system when doing this. Enjoy and have fun! Please like and subscribe for more quality and informative videos. Thank you!

@@moneyzonetrader though it may differ in a lot of ways. Like your hardware combinations and how you intend to set and use your computer. But here are some general tips I can suggest for you: - If overclocking: - Set the Core Ratio to Sync All Cores. - Manually adjust the CPU clock speed. Many users aim for 5.0 GHz to 5.3 GHz for all cores, though this depends on your cooling solution and silicon lottery. - Ensure adequate CPU and system cooling before pushing beyond stock speeds. - If not overclocking: Leave the setting on Auto Enjoy and have fun!

@@IOSARBX , thank you so much for your support!

@@jp99575w Hi there! Thank you for watching my video. You can directly download and install the most recent BIOS 3802. Latest BIOS typically includes all the improvements and fixes from previous versions. You don’t need to reset your current BIOS to factory’s stock setting before upgrading to a new BIOS. You can just install the new BIOS update directly. Your BIOS will automatically reset after successful BIOS update. XMP and fan curve settings have nothing to do with having the BIOS to install successfully. But is important to do all those after successfully BIOS update. Because having XMP enabled for your installed RAM will maximize your memory module settings to run on speed clocks designed for it to run your rig optimally. And custom fan curves can improve your CPU and GPU as well as your system overall cooling performance as well as controlling the noise level of your rig. So it will just ramp up when your system needs it. Good for optimizing power consumption as well.

@@tweakmixbuilds Thanks for your response & appreciate your help here, starting to get clarity on what & what not to do when doing a bios update. Most people don't follow up on questions asked so Kudo's for that. I checked out your channel & subscribed. Looking forward to more topics. I also have the i7-12700K but paired with an ASUS b660i. Both work well together. So far very happy with the CPU & MB.

@@jp99575w Thank you so much! I appreciate it. Happy to help.

@@tweakmixbuilds My BIOS Update is 32GB. When I Format my 15GB thumb Drive for FAT32 what should I select for my Allocation Unit Size? Is it ok to select Default Allocation Size?

@jp99575w Yes, you may select default allocation size. But are you sure that your BIOS update file size is 32GB or 32MB? Because if it is true, then it will not fit in your 15GB (not sure of this size either - 16GB maybe) USB flashdrive. What motherboard brand and model are you using? Important note: Please make sure that your BIOS file size should always be smaller than your USB flashdrive’s capacity. And make sure to reformat your USB flashdrive using the FAT32 format and select default allocation size. Follow these as I have showed in my video, and you’ll be fine. And good to go to update your motherboard’s BIOS.

Hi @jp99575w, you can do direct update to 3701 unless there is a requirement of 3603 or lower. You can have this checked on the website for any extra info. As for the BIOS update, please do a Factory Stock Settings before you do the BIOS update, else for sure, you can have the motherboard bricked and then all kind of troubleshooting comes into the picture.....

@@ffblegend Hi there! This motherboard has an Intel 2.5 Gb Ethernet port that can handle up to 2.5 Gbps (gigabits per second), which is equivalent to 2500 Mbps (megabits per second). For optimal performance with a 2.5 Gb Ethernet connection, you should use at least Cat 5e Ethernet cables. However, for better future-proofing and even more reliable performance, Cat 6 or Cat 6a cables are recommended. These cables are capable of handling higher speeds and are better suited for reducing interference over longer distances. But actual maximum internet speeds still depends on your contracted ISP max speed subscription.

Good find! How are the fans’ dB noise level are they the same too?

You are most welcome! Happy to help! Please like and subscribe for more helpful videos. Thanks again!

Agree. Thank you. I can make a video or short out of this as well. So we can share the knowledge. Normally, in Windows, if you use at least a low capacity flashdrive. Let's say an 8GB (which is usually the right capacity for a BIOS file) USB thrumbdrive, Windows by default should format it to FAT32. But to your point NTFS can be an option, sometimes be a default file format for larger USB drives, should be opted to go with FAT32 for better BIOS compatibility. But in the modern motherboards however, you can now directly look up in your harddrive directly for the BIOS file that you have downloaded and have upgrade the BIOS directly from there. This will not require any flashdrive. But usually, if your motherboard does not allow any other file system aside from FAT32, the motherboard should not allow your BIOS file to be read in the first place. And update should not continue. So it will be a failsafe for the motherboard if the USB file system is not acceptable. And so not bricking your motherboard.

@@spirit7792 what is your cpu and memory modules speed (mhz) and class latency? Make sure your BIOS is updated to the correct motherboard model. You can get it from ASUS TUF website in the support section of your motherboard model. Try to "Load Optimized Defaults" found in your "Exit" BIOS tab. Then enable your XMP1. Do not disable your turbo boost. I do not advise that for gaming purposes. Because your cpu will then just default to the maximum speed of your lowest core. It will mostly keep it to base speed. Save, reboot and then try gaming. Let me know.

@@tweakmixbuilds i have i7 13700kf memory 32 GB 3600 mhz and bios version i had 1205 bud there newer versions i think i most update bios?

For best CPU support, please update your BIOS to "TUF GAMING B760-PLUS WIFI D4 BIOS 1661". www.asus.com/motherboards-components/motherboards/tuf-gaming/tuf-gaming-b760-plus-wifi-d4/helpdesk_bios?model2Name=TUF-GAMING-B760-PLUS-WIFI-D4 .....JUST MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS YOU CORRECT MOTHERBOARD MODEL BEFORE UPGRADING BIOS.

@@tweakmixbuilds yes it is my motherboard and where i can find the maximum speed

@@spirit7792 If turbo boost is enabled, with your motherboard, your CPU should reach 5.3-5.4Ghz top speed.

@@MitunaMiwok-y4g Thank you.

Hi there. You may follow my instructions from here. th-cam.com/video/sI08bLtxtC4/w-d-xo.html . Thanks for watching. Please like and subscribe and watch more of my videos. More to come out soon.

Please upgrade to BIOS Version 1658. Then try the "Optimal" BIOS settings first. Then use the benchmark results as your baseline. Then try your settings afterwards. Then compare results from the optimal settings baseline results. The adjust as needed - to your preference and stable system.

And also I think the B760 chipset does not support overclocking. That's why your Intel tuning software features are greyed-out. You need a motherboard with a "Z" prefix on the chipset. Like Z790...

Since I cannot see your BIOS from here. And it depends system per system, for safety reasons of your PC investment, I suggest forn you to try downloading Intel Extreme Tuning Utility (Intel XTU) tool directly from Intel. Just choose the correct operating system when download it. Install it and go to the undervolt section of the tool. Gradually lower down voltage. And perform the stability tests provided in the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility (Intel XTU) tool itself. Check and monitor your system stats (like temp and frequency) choose the most stable undervolt setting best for your cpu cooler as well. When you reach your desired setting, save it and reboot your system. You should be good by then. For best CPU temps even without undervolting... you can try some of the best AIOs or air coolers in your country/area. In my experience, 12700k are pretty much the best i7 perfomers at an easy to manage cooling and cpu cooler fan curve settings. In my 12700k setup, I use a dual air-cooler tower Noctua NH-D15. At an ambient of 24C in the room, I can get 35C low - 75C highest from idle to playing triple-A games.

What processor model are you overclocking?

Yes. Smooth as butter!

Thank you!

Hi there. Do you notice any unusual temperature increase in either you CPU or GPU when every time your FPS drops significantly (about 60 FPS you mentioned)? And what (capacity) power supply do you use?

What is your motherboard?

​@@tweakmixbuilds hey im looking to undervolt my i7 13700k, im using asus prime z790, but i have no clue what to change in bios settings

hi @haithamyaldoqu3722 Valorant is a CPU bound game. If your CPU overheats while gaming, try to check the following. Any of these might help you resolve your overheating CPU: 1. Try checking your AIO or CPU air cooler's functionality, if everything is good. Clean if needed. Check your CPU cooler fans for any abnormal/unusual sound squeaking, might need replacement. 2. Check you AIO or CPU air cooler's fan curve. You might need to adjust to a more aggressive curve, like 100% (fan speed) on 75 or 80C CPU temperature. 3. Clean and replace CPU thermal paste, then re-seat your AIO or CPU air cooler. Let me know.

Sounds like he needs to under volt his CPU and he's forcing his PC on performance he doesn't have on PC if your getting blue screens even on low settings you definitely have old components I would suggest a PC reset and fresh windows install make sure your not just switching on all types of settings you have no clue about

Change your thermal paste

I hope everything is ok already since 5 months ago, @haithamyaldoqu3722 .

What CPU and CPU cooler are you using?

@@tweakmixbuilds 12700kf and coolermaster ar360 AIO but with these settings the voltages run waaaay high too can't undervolt anything under 1.3v the systems requires minimum 1.42 with these syncing all cores

@@retractionmusic4972 Please check your AIO fan curve settings. Try to set the fans at 100% when 80degC CPU temp is reached. Try not undervolting it first.

@@tweakmixbuilds yeah I don't know why 12 gen and up runs so hot it's crazy, but the voltages just seems to push so high on this gen

@@retractionmusic4972 happy to help.

I think the Asus TUF B550 Plus WiFi is for AMD processors. So if this correct, then my answer is "no". Because you'll need a Ryzen AM4 cpu for that motherboard.

Make sure that your BIOS has the most recent update. Go to your BIOS setting. Set to "optimal settings". Set your RAM to XMP1. And "Disable" (if you are not planning to overclock your cpu) Asus Multicore Enhancement. Save BIOS and restart your PC. Check again if your CPU can already reach up to 4.9mhz or higher by using any of your CPU benchmarking software you have.

Yes. You should! To maximize your rig's potential. I have another gaming PC that is very similar to yours. Refer to my TH-cam video link: th-cam.com/video/3HGooHfRT3M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PBXU_1TLr6cDm-DH. I did a stability test after BIOS setting. First you need to update your BIOS ( rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-z590-f-gaming-wifi-model/helpdesk_bios/ ) if you haven't yet. Just make sure that you have a good cooler. Your ROG-Z590 mobo should show you a cooler rating high enough good enough to overclock your cpu. You need a good cooling system as well. As the 11700k is quite hot in the temp department. Have fun!

Hi! I have i7 12700K and a Motherboard Z790-P D4. I do this overclock?

@@1pingulegal My suggestion is, Yes! So that you an maximize your cost to performance experience. But do take note that before overclocking, please make sure you have considered all these in your rig: good airflow (intake and exhaust), good cpu cooling (AIO, custom water cooling or rated air cooler) and good rated power supply [PSU] (for you to have ample power based on total wattage of CPU, GPU and your entire system. a bronze rating is already goo. But Gold is definitely better). For stable power CPU power, please make sure to plug all motherboard ATX CPU power cords (usually located at the upper left of the motherboard near the heat spreaders) supplied by your PSU. Have fun and enjoy!

@@tweakmixbuildsHey do you know what setting it would be to limit my wattage? Im trying to stay under 220w with this CPU and if I get a 14900k I would like to know because I have the exact same motherboard. Thanks for the video.

@@whitebeltbjj3739 , hi there! There are several ways to do it. You might want to try this one first: Download (from Intel website) and install Intel Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU). Go to "Advance Tuning" tab. Look for "Turbo Boost Max" and "Turbo Boost Short Power Max" settings. Set those to your desired wattage limit (like 220W). Then apply settings. And use your computer with that setting. Make sure to monitor temperatures and test stability (you can use Cinebench, AIDA64, Prime95, etc.). Let me know! Thanks. And favor please to help me continue this: like and subscribe. Thanks again!

Thank you for watching.

You may change it to what Gen your M.2 SSD or GPU specifies. But you may also leave it on Auto. No performance issue either way. The lesser your auto settings are, the faster you BIOS will load. But if you are unsure, leave it on auto.

Hi there. I put the Noctua's NF-A12x25 PWM fan. It's only 120mm so it will fit. And the maximum 2,000rpm of it can really push in more sufficient air. Though in actual gaming (overclocked cpu setting), PWM only pushes 50-75% of its speed because the other fan helps to push more air out as well.

Hi! The TVB boost profile will just add voltage to your CPU and eventually heat it up some more with just a little gain. I suggest, if you're new to overclocking, first you have to figure out first why you will do overclocking. Or if there is a need for you to do so. Now if you have figured-out what you would want to achieve in overclocking, I would suggest for you to research more on undervolting your cpu instead. For OC1 and OC2 tuning profiles, I suggest you use OC1 if you are using an air cooler. And OC2 if you're using an AIO/watercooling. Conduct benchmarks with available softwares online like Cinebench, Prime95, etc. Record and compare results while you change settings. So you would know your best and stable settings that suits your computing or gaming requirement. Keep safe and have fun!

@@tweakmixbuilds thanks 🤗

@@11xxDIMAxx11 , you're welcome.

@tweakmixbuilds Anyway, i tried last time, and the temperature was good with Oc 2, and I chose Tvb Boost profile 2 And i think the cpu was on 5.0 ghz or something like this dont remember if it was on 4.9 or 5.0 Anyway, the temperature in the game was 60°c But yeah, i read that Auto oc set really high voltage, and it's not good. Hmm oc i do just wanna test my new cpu what can do and how many fps can give me when i play. Sometime i use cpu to decritp some hashes and i see that when i oc on my speed of decript its more fast. Sow yeah i just wanna a stable Oc. For everyday. I have air coller but i have a really open and big case, and i have 8 collers 😀 in my case. 4 on the left 2 on top ontaher 1 on back and 1 big in the front. Sow yeah. And obviosly 2 coller on my air coller :) Temperature its awsome and o have Protection for the socket you know for 12 /13 gen that give me too -°C on cpu.

​@@tweakmixbuilds i do all you show now my controler not recognize

Hi there! Update your BIOS to Version 2703. Then in BIOS, go to "Specific Performance Core". You can change your offset value from there. Save and reset. With your Intel OC Tool not installing - install Intel XTU instead. When prompted, choose "Install Anyway".

What voltage value would you suggest for the 12700K?

​@@tweakmixbuildsundervolt it with a 0.1 offset. Im switching to intel, but even ryzen, stock voltages are usually unhealthy.

@@Keaweahe I'll try. Thanks.

You're welcome.

Using MSI Afterburner, I set 2,000mhz for gpu frequency and 1,000mhz for the ram. And leave everything on default. For fan curve, I just used the 30% on 30C, 50% on 50C and 100% on 70C.

The fan to the right is pulling air to the left. All the vertical fans in my rig are pulling right to left. All my horizontal fans are pulling upwards. You might want to checkout my video pertaining to airflow. th-cam.com/video/x5ufqOzzH8U/w-d-xo.html

@@tweakmixbuilds thanks how much do you think it drops adding that extra fan on cpu cooler the one to the right ?

@@TheOneGhost12 15% drop on idle and 10% on OC game mode.

@@tweakmixbuilds so if it was 75 c it would drop it 7.5??? Are you sure

@@TheOneGhost12 Based from my experience, yes. And you can see in my rig in this video that it did not even reach past 63C on overclock mode while running Cinebench. Something to note though that my main cooling system here are Noctua Fans. There are high push/pull of air happening in the system. And my ambient room temp here is at around 23/24C around the time that this test was performed. For there are many things that can affect the cpu cooling. Like what thermal paste you use and your PWM settings as well - that can affect greatly as well.

Nope. The PSU gets air intake from the bottom of the case and blows the heat out directly through its rear perforations.

I tried a stable 5.1 ghz at 1.4v using an NH-D15 dual tower air cooler.

Thank you!

Thanks as well. Great specs you have there! I hope I can upload my BIOS video in time when you are already building your rig. This motherboard is one of the best one out there on DDR4. And my Noctua NH-D15 is still doing a great job supporting the 12700K's high performance.

Here you go..BIOS Setup: th-cam.com/video/sI08bLtxtC4/w-d-xo.html

According to Noctua’s Standardised Performance Rating (NSPR) the rating of NH-U12A for an R7 5700X is at 169. Which means that you'll have best turbo/overclocking headroom. But depending on you ambient temp, you'll expect a little higher than your current 65C on max compared with your current AIO. But it will definitely hold with good thermal paste application and PWM fan curve settings. Best for you to get Noctua's NH-D15 (dual) instead for more heat dissipation for your cpu. You'll just need to check your motherboard and case compatibility for it if in case you'll decide for this beast an air-cooler. A good investment and super quiet.

Sure. Your current hardware setup is closest to my current rig. I can help you with that. We just need to start from your BIOS. Let me know if you have a discord account. It can be limited here in the chats. And my video can take some time to upload.

I might be of help here: th-cam.com/video/sI08bLtxtC4/w-d-xo.html

It helped to lessen 3C more while cpu is overclocked running in games. I wouldn't recommend the investment and effort in installing a 3rd fan if your cpu is running on stock settings. And you'll need better intake ventilation more by doing so.

I custom-designed AIDA64 Extreme's sensor panel and send it to that small HD screen to display.

Thanks for the response! :)

@@tweakmixbuilds Would you mind telling me what kind of monitor that is?

@@234Musician Sure! It is a 5-inch HD Capacitive Display screen by Daewoo. It can be other brands too. But my suggestion is to get the one with HDMI input(from GPU as 2nd monitor or so) and USB-powered that you can plug to your PC. So it only powers up when your PC is ON.

So sorry. Didn't quite understand what you're asking? Please let me know. Maybe I can help. Thanks.
