The overclocked 12900K can achieve performance close to a factory-set 14900K, but I’d suggest sticking with the 12900K for a few reasons: - Degradation Concerns: Reports of degradation are less common with the 12900K compared to the newer CPUs like the 14900K, especially when overclocking is done with care. - Thermal and Power Management: The 12900K is already a powerful CPU, and with proper tuning, it can offer excellent performance without pushing the limits as aggressively as the 14900K. - Cost Efficiency: Since you already own the 12900K, it makes more sense to maximize its potential rather than investing in a 14900K, which may require additional cooling upgrades due to its higher thermal demands. With a good cooling solution and careful overclocking, the 12900K remains a solid choice that balances performance and longevity.

Updating your BIOS to version 15.01 with the 0x12B microcode is generally safe, especially if it includes stability improvements or compatibility fixes for your system.

@@saveroomorg i think i saw on website my motherboard it's only 0x12B microcode only...my question is 0x12B microcode does improve stability to my motherboard? i'm using b660m pro rs

Great question! These settings significantly improve power efficiency by reducing unnecessary voltage and heat output while maintaining stable performance. In many cases, the efficiency becomes much closer to AMD CPUs, depending on the workload. It's a nice balance between performance and power consumption!

You're welcome! More content is on the way, stay tuned!

My Cinebench R23 score was 24k. How about yours?

@ 24k with i9 14900k??

@@anubhavsyal4909 with i5 13600k. For 14900k I would expect something around 40k

Micro stuttering can indeed be related to BIOS settings, but it can also be influenced by other factors like driver issues, power settings, or software conflicts. For your i9-13900K and 4080 Super, here are a few things you can try: - BIOS Settings: Ensure that you're not running overly aggressive power limits or undervolting that could cause instability. You might want to try resetting to default settings or using more conservative ones to see if it improves. - CPU & GPU Drivers: Make sure your drivers (especially for your GPU) are up to date. Sometimes a simple driver update can make a big difference. - Power Settings: In Windows, go to Power Settings and make sure you're using a high-performance plan. Sometimes, power-saving settings can cause micro stuttering. - Thermal Throttling: Check your temperatures to make sure neither the CPU nor GPU is throttling due to high temps. If you've already tried everything, it might help to revert to stock BIOS settings and then reapply any tweaks incrementally to find the sweet spot. If you need more guidance, feel free to check out my videos on optimizing BIOS settings for better performance and stability!

I tested the method mentioned in this video. My problem was the same as yours and this problem had caused my life expectancy to decrease. I accidentally saw this video and tested it and it was surprisingly effective to the extent that the stuttering and the game and Windows stuttered severely. It did not disappear, but I got rid of the stuttering of the computer screen and game every 2 minutes or a few seconds. Maybe it only happens once in 20 minutes. I recommend that you also watch this video carefully and make the changes. 🤍

The "Kernel-Power Critical Error 41 (63)" usually points to an issue causing unexpected shutdowns or restarts, often related to power delivery or system stability. Start by adjusting the undervolt and LLC settings, set it to the next higher step, as these are the most common culprits. Let me know how it goes! 😊

@@saveroomorg In this case, would it change to 56 and instead of Power Saving, would it change to Performace?

@@denerpatrick Yes, just try High or Performance mode. It will provide a bit more voltage and temperature, but it can stabilize the system, which is fine since we’ve already limited the CPU voltage.

@@saveroomorg Friend, thanks for getting back to me. I still face the restart, important! It only happens when I leave the PC idle, for example: browser open and the HWiNFO monitor, with a game in the background. If I'm using or playing, it doesn't happen. I changed the Load Line to "Performace" and VP to Hight, it still didn't solve the problem, in Windows all the suspension settings are disabled. Different from your settings are: PL1/PL2 = 253 and Core Current Limit(Amps) 307. My setup is = i7-14700K (Raptor Lake) Z790 Gaming X AX v1

It sounds like you're using an MSI motherboard where the terminology and options differ slightly. Here's what you can do: On MSI boards, instead of "IA AC Load Line," you'll see "CPU AC Load Line." The value to set depends on how the board interprets this setting. Here's a recommendation: - Set CPU AC Load Line to "50": MSI uses a different scale for load line settings, and "50" should closely match the intended result of 0.5 on other boards. - Double-check BIOS Version: Ensure your BIOS is up to date since older versions might lack the exact setting mentioned in guides. - Enable Advanced CPU Settings: Sometimes, settings are hidden under advanced options or profiles. Double-check if enabling advanced CPU configurations reveals more options. If you follow my video instructions and adjust settings like CPU Lite Load and CPU AC Load Line appropriately, you should be fine. Let me know how it works out! 😊

​@@saveroomorgwould you recommend locking all p cores aswell? Also how do I limit voltage to 1400w on msi mother board

@@KorayRuthlessvillian Locking all P-cores is not necessary unless you're looking to achieve very specific performance tuning. For most users, letting the system dynamically manage core clocks works well and keeps efficiency high. To limit the voltage to 1.4V on an MSI motherboard, adjust the CPU Core Voltage in the BIOS. Look for "CPU Core Voltage" or "CPU Voltage Mode" settings, and set it to "Override Mode" or "Offset Mode" with a maximum value of 1.4V. You can also tweak LLC (Load Line Calibration) settings to manage voltage more precisely under load.

Hi there! 😊 Thanks for sharing your experience! I’m glad you’re giving undervolting another shot after fixing your AIO issue. Let’s break it down step by step: 1️⃣ Temperature Spikes: Sudden jumps from 39°C to 70°C are normal on modern CPUs, especially with the 14700K. These chips boost aggressively for quick task completion, causing rapid temperature changes. It’s part of their design and doesn’t necessarily indicate a problem. 2️⃣ Idle Temps: 38°C at idle might seem high, but it depends on several factors like: - Ambient room temperature. - BIOS settings (some settings keep cores in higher power states). - Background processes in Windows. - Make sure to minimize background activity and check task manager for unnecessary services. 3️⃣ Gaming Temps: If your gaming temps exceed 80°C, there may still be room for improvement. Double-check your cooler’s contact with the CPU (thermal paste, mounting pressure, etc.). 4️⃣ Undervolting Improvements: -0.105V is a great start! If stable, try increasing the offset slightly (e.g., -0.110V or -0.115V) in small steps while monitoring stability with stress tests (Cinebench R23, OCCT, etc.). 5️⃣ Other Tweaks: If undervolting isn’t making a big difference, try adjusting the CPU Lite Load setting in your BIOS. On Gigabyte boards, lower values (e.g., 4-5) can reduce power consumption and temps under load. 💡 Lastly, don’t stress over comparisons online. Every setup is unique-airflow, case design, and silicon quality all play a role. What matters most is that your system runs cool, stable, and performs without throttling. Let me know how it goes, and feel free to ask if you need more guidance! 😊

I get what you mean! The art style can be a bit divisive, but ultimately, solid gameplay is what keeps us hooked. Let’s hope Olden Era strikes the right balance between modernizing the series and staying true to its roots. Fingers crossed they deliver something special! 😊

Thanks for your feedback! I’m really glad the tweaks worked well for your 13600KF setup and that you’re seeing stable results with reduced idle power. 😊 Regarding the CPU Vcore Load Line Calibration: Medium is the setting I use for my setup, and it’s what I’d recommend as a starting point. However, High is a suitable value for most CPU units if you’re looking for a bit more stability. If your system is stable and performing well, you’re all set. 👍 Keep up the great work!

That’s a solid approach if you’re comfortable with manual tuning! Disabling Intel defaults gives you more control, and combining undervolting with manually setting PL1 and PL2 can really help optimize both performance and thermals. If everything is stable, it sounds like you’ve got a great setup! If you’re interested in exploring another method, I’d recommend checking out my easy undervolting video-it’s designed for those looking to optimize without too much hassle. th-cam.com/video/LZA-h9yUV50/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mx2g7jMdfF66Ty7S Let me know if you have any questions! 😊

That’s an interesting observation. With the newer microcode updates like 0x12b, you might see some differences in behavior, as Intel has been tweaking how the SVID and voltage management work. Typically, enabling IA CEP and SA CEP, along with Sync AC/DC Loadline and LLC4, should provide a good balance, but results can vary depending on your specific setup. If you’re seeing a drop in Cinebench scores with typical SVID behavior, it might be worth experimenting with advanced SVID behavior or making slight adjustments to the loadlines to see if that helps recover performance. Also, if you haven’t already, you might find my undervolting video helpful-it’s a step-by-step guide that works well with the latest BIOS updates. Let me know how it goes! 😊

I appreciate your feedback! I understand that not every setting will work the same for every setup, as performance can vary based on silicon quality and other factors. The goal of the video is to provide a safe starting point with stability in mind. If you're interested, I also have videos on more advanced undervolting and performance tuning. Let me know if you'd like to explore that! 😊

Yes, you can follow the same general steps from the video for your i5-14600KF with the Gigabyte Z690M DS3H DDR4 motherboard. The settings should work well as a safe starting point, especially for undervolting and optimizing power limits. Feel free to check out my other videos for more detailed guides on fine-tuning or if you need any adjustments specific to your setup! 😊

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! 🚀🖥️

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!

Unfortunately yes. Mobile CPUs are also affected.

@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

can i do this with Lenovo Legion ? i9 13900HX ? how to do that

@@TH-cam2020N You can definitely try these settings on your Lenovo Legion with the i9-13900HX, but keep in mind that laptops have different thermal and power constraints compared to desktop setups. It’s important to ensure your cooling system is sufficient before adjusting power limits or undervolting. For adjusting settings, you would likely need access to BIOS or a software like Intel XTU or ThrottleStop, depending on what your system allows. However, laptop BIOS settings are often more limited compared to desktops, so you may not have full control over power limits or voltage.

@@saveroomorg thanks actually i am not able to do this as i dont have access to such settings. i m trying throttle stop -/ HW / XTU - but basically what are the values i need to see (my microcode current code is 127) - if i need to chk what is the value if its already taken care off.

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! 👍

@@saveroomorg Perfect! Thank you, I made the settings and the gain in temperature and stability was truly incredible, thank you, friend!

😊👍 Glad I could help!

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! 😊

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. 😊

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 - th-cam.com/video/LZA-h9yUV50/w-d-xo.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 welcome! Glad to hear the settings are working well for your i7-14700K. 😊 Prime95 is an extreme stress test, and it can push your CPU to limits you might not encounter in normal use. A blue screen could indicate that your current settings (like undervolt, power limits, or memory configuration) are slightly too aggressive under such heavy load. You can try the following: - Adjust Undervolt: Reduce the undervolt slightly (e.g., from -0.050V to -0.040V). This can improve stability during extreme stress tests. - Power Limits: If you've modified PL1/PL2, try increasing them by 10-20W to allow more headroom. - Memory Settings: Ensure your RAM's XMP profile or manual tuning is stable. - Thermals: Monitor temperatures to ensure they stay within safe limits. Prime95 isn't a realistic workload for most users, so if your system is stable in real-world tasks (gaming, rendering, etc.), you're likely fine. Let me know if you'd like more detailed guidance! 😊

You're welcome, and great to hear that the settings worked well for your setup! 🙌 A Cinebench score of 38k with those temps is excellent, especially with an air cooler like the Thermalright PS120SE. It looks like your system is running cool and efficient! Keep enjoying the smooth performance! 😊

Hey there! A 2,000-point jump in Cinebench is a great improvement-nice work! 🎉 As for the difference in scores, several factors could be at play: - Cooling Setup: Those with higher scores might have a better cooling solution (e.g., custom loop or a high-end AIO) allowing them to sustain higher frequencies without thermal throttling. - Silicon Lottery: Not all CPUs are created equal; some chips can handle higher clocks or lower voltages better than others. - Motherboard VRM Quality: A motherboard with strong VRMs can help stabilize higher power delivery and maintain better performance. - RAM Tuning: If they're using highly tuned or overclocked DDR5 RAM, that can make a noticeable difference in benchmarks. - BIOS Settings: Some users tweak additional settings, like per-core overclocking or advanced voltage settings, to squeeze out more performance. - Ambient Temps: Cooler environments can help the CPU stay within thermal limits and boost higher. If you're aiming to push closer to their scores, you could experiment with fine-tuning your settings further - perhaps adjusting core offsets or trying to optimize RAM. Just remember, stability is key! If you're happy with your performance and temps, there's no need to chase those extra points unless you're benchmarking for fun. 😊

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! 🚀💻

A lot of us like to use variable clocks. Locked voltages take away a lot of the benefits of this.

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! 🔧🔥💻

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!

Yes, the same settings apply well to the 14700K, though you might want to adjust the power limits (PL1 and PL2) to 253W for optimal performance. Follow the video guide for a safe and stable setup, and stay tuned for a more detailed undervolting guide coming soon! 😊🔥

@@saveroomorg Thank you friend! Waiting for the new video, it will help the community a lot.

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

And I mean the cpu usage 💀

It sounds like you might have a hidden process causing high CPU usage, possibly even a crypto miner. Here’s what you can do to check and fix the issue: - Run a Full Malware Scan: Use Windows Defender or a trusted antivirus to scan your system. - Check Task Scheduler: Look for any suspicious or unknown scheduled tasks. - Inspect Startup Programs: Disable any unusual programs in Task Manager’s Startup tab. - Use Malware Removal Tools: Consider Malwarebytes or AdwCleaner for deeper scans. - Reinstall Windows (if needed): If nothing works, a clean OS installation might be necessary. Let me know if this helps or if you find anything strange! 🚨💻

In my video, I focus on settings that ensure safe undervolting and stable performance for most setups without overcomplicating things. However, if you're interested in a deep dive into these specifics, I might consider covering them in a future guide!

@@zionjackson7617 It sounds like a frustrating issue. First, make sure your PSU is at least 750W and properly connected to the GPU and motherboard. Monitor your temps using HWMonitor or MSI Afterburner to ensure there's no overheating. Also, check if your BIOS is up to date and install the latest chipset and GPU drivers. You could stress test your GPU with FurMark to check for stability issues. Make sure to disable overlays like GeForce Experience and Discord, and close any unnecessary apps while gaming. It might help to reinstall your GPU drivers using DDU for a clean installation. Check Windows Event Viewer for any critical errors during crashes, and run a memory test with Windows Memory Diagnostic. If the problem continues, it could be a hardware issue, so you might want to reach out to GPU support. Hope this helps!

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

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! 😊💪
