Glad to hear the settings worked out so well for you! Dropping 10 degrees while boosting performance is exactly what we aim for. Appreciate the feedback, and happy gaming! 👑
@@lazerseo6825 That sounds frustrating! Input lag or delays in games can come from a few different sources. Here are some quick things you might want to check: - Undervolting Settings: If you’ve undervolted your CPU, try reducing the undervolt slightly or going back to stock settings to see if the issue persists. - Power Limits: Ensure your PL1 and PL2 power limits are set appropriately-sometimes low limits can cause stuttering or delays under load. - Background Processes: Make sure nothing heavy is running in the background, especially while gaming. - Latency Settings: Check your in-game settings for things like V-Sync or frame caps. Disabling V-Sync can help reduce input lag. - Network Lag: If it's an online game, ensure your internet connection is stable and fast. Let me know if any of these help, or if you want to dive deeper into troubleshooting! 😊
This guy is a legend! Not just improved temps but also stable ones. I recommend doing everything he says in the video for the best results. I personally didn’t disable the ‘intel performance’ option but dropped my temps to 80c (14700KF for anyone wondering) also set PL1 to 200 and PL2 to 220. 240mm AIO
Thank you so much for the kind words! 🙌 I'm glad the guide helped improve your temps while keeping your system stable. Setting PL1 to 200W and PL2 to 220W is a smart move for better efficiency, especially with a 240mm AIO. Disabling 'Intel Performance' is optional, and it’s great to hear your setup works well without it. Enjoy those cooler temps and happy gaming! 🔥💻🎮
Hi, thank you for your step-by-step tutorial. I did everything according to your instructions and the results are wonderful. I have an Intel Core I7-14700K processor on a Gigabyte Z790 UD AX board. Results on default settings: Cinebench: 33k pts, maximum 100 degrees Celsius, power consumption 253W. Results after undervolting: Cinebench: 32k pts, maximum 75 degrees Celsius, average 62, power consumption: 170W. 3% efficiency for aprox. 25 degrees less and 83W less power consumption. Sounds like a great deal. Because it is great. Thanks again.
That's fantastic to hear! Dropping 25°C and 83W for just a 3% performance trade-off is indeed a win, especially with the 14700K on a board like the Z790 UD AX. That lower temperature and power draw will definitely pay off in the long run, too! Thanks for sharing your results, and I'm thrilled the tutorial made such a difference. Enjoy the cooler, more efficient setup!
I'm glad to hear the video helped you reduce your temps! The i7-14700K can run pretty hot, so getting those temperatures down is a big win. Thanks for your kind words, my friend-enjoy your cooler and more efficient system! 😊
Thank you so much!! I looked everywhere to find a solution against overheating of my 13700K. Temps went from 100°C to around 75-80°C. This really helped me a lot, appreciate it!😄
You’re very welcome! I’m glad the guide helped bring your 13700K’s temps down so much. Enjoy the cooler performance and feel free to reach out if you ever need more tips. Happy gaming! 😄🔥💻
Thanks for the video! I used your settings with my setup, which is a 13900K, Gigabyte Z790 motherboard, and a Thermalright PS120SE air cooler. I changed the power limit from 170 to 210, and I’m getting a score of 38k in Cinebench R23. CPU max temps are at 71 degrees, with average temps at 67.
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! 😊
Glad to hear the guide helped you out! A 10°C drop at idle and 15°C under full load is a huge improvement-great work dialing in those settings! Enjoy the cooler temps, and feel free to reach out if you have any more questions. Happy gaming (or working) with that optimized setup!
@ thank you! I had previously adjusted things but after that BIOS update which enforced the Intel recommended settings I had lost them and forgot how to change them. The fact yours is on Gigabyte helped a lot too as most guides are on Asus. I also noticed temps stay stable no matter which power plan I’m on whereas before I could only use Power Saving without temps going crazy.
I followed this to the letter and wow......cooler and increase of 1500ponts on Cinebench r23 so now im hitting 23792. Never had issues with my Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 in my Fractal Design Torrent but temps are so much lower. Keep up the great work :)
That's fantastic to hear! 🎉 Great job optimizing your system, and that’s an impressive Cinebench score! The Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 is a solid cooler, and paired with good settings, it clearly works wonders. Thanks for the kind words - more helpful content coming soon! 😊💪
This fixed my stuttering issues in Stalker2, thank you so much. I've been dealing with endless stutter for almost a year now and was blaming UE5. THANK YOU! (I managed a -0.06v under volt, any more and I'd blue screen)
Glad to hear it helped fix your stuttering issues in Stalker 2! 😊 Unreal Engine 5 can be demanding, but sometimes it’s those small tweaks that make all the difference. A -0.06V undervolt is a solid sweet spot. Enjoy smooth gaming, and thanks for sharing your experience! 🎮🔥
I followed your advice and successfully achieved -0.050V. Previously, my maximum temperature was 99°C with a voltage of 1.419V, but now the maximum temperature is only 78°C with a voltage of 1.375V (as referenced from HWiNFO). In terms of CPU benchmark performance, the single-thread score was 869 (old) and is now 849 (new) (as referenced from CPUID). I’m very happy with the results and would like to thank you for your advice! My Spec : i7-13700KF with Z790-AORUS-ELITE rev1.0 bios ver.F13B
Great job optimizing your system! A 21°C temperature drop with only a minimal performance impact is a fantastic result. Thanks for sharing your detailed feedback-it will definitely help others with similar setups. Enjoy your cooler and more efficient PC! 🚀🔥
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! 😊
If you have an AIO cooler, you can push power limits higher for better performance while keeping temps in check. Just monitor temperatures closely and adjust settings accordingly for optimal stability and cooling efficiency.
The power loss from these settings is minimal, typically around 1-3%, depending on the specific undervolt and power limit adjustments. However, the trade-off is significantly lower temperatures and much better power efficiency, making it well worth it for most users. However, from the comments under the video, you’ll see that in many cases, performance can even improve due to more stable clock speeds and reduced thermal throttling. 😊🔥💻
@@Max_Cony It would be helpful to have more details about your setup, but I recommend following all the steps carefully in the video. Regarding the 20% FPS loss in Star Citizen when changing the voltage curve to normal, it's possible that the settings are not fully optimized for your specific system.
thank you very much for this, may I ask you how could I improve performance from here? I tried going in the CPU Vcore Loadline Calibration from normal to turbo, and uppering the PL1 and 2 from 170 to 200 but cinebench throws worse scores? like from 28k to 26k thank you again
You’re very welcome! If your Cinebench scores dropped after increasing PL1 and PL2, it could be due to instability from the higher power draw or voltage settings. Here’s what you can try: - Reset Loadline Calibration (LLC): Try setting LLC back to "Normal" or "High" instead of "Turbo." Turbo can cause voltage overshoots, reducing stability. - Fine-Tune Undervolt: If you’ve undervolted, consider adjusting the offset slightly toward zero (less negative) to find the sweet spot. - Check CPU Temps: Ensure temperatures aren’t throttling performance under load. - Power Limits: PL1 and PL2 at 200W should be stable, but try 180-190W if the system is still unstable. Let me know how it goes! 😊
got a question sorry im a noob to bios settings anyways if i leave the dynamic vcore at 50 instead of the 105v that you have it at will i lose performance or gain?
*No problem at all! If you keep the dynamic Vcore at -0.050V instead of -0.105V, you shouldn't experience any performance drop. The only difference may be slightly higher temperatures, but this really depends on your specific CPU unit since it's all about the silicon lottery. Just monitor your temps, and you should be good to go! If you have more questions, feel free to ask!*
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! 😊🔥
Hello, for my 13700k cinebench tests are crashing right away and cs2 crashes after a few minutes of play. I started with dynamic vcore of -0.01 and used Pl1 and Pl2 253W. Im not sure what else I need to change. My cooler is the noctua nh d15
Hey! It sounds like your system might be unstable with the current settings. Crashes in Cinebench and CS2 usually indicate that the CPU isn’t getting enough voltage. Here are a few things you could try: 1. Adjust the dynamic vcore: Start with a smaller undervolt or even go back to stock voltage to confirm stability, then gradually decrease it (try -0.005 instead of -0.01). 2. Check your temps: The Noctua NH-D15 is excellent, but make sure temperatures aren’t throttling performance. During stress tests, monitor temps with tools like HWMonitor. 3. PL1/PL2 settings: 253W is okay, but you could try setting them a bit higher or use the default motherboard limits to see if that helps. 4. Stability testing: Use tools like Prime95 or OCCT for stability checks. If those crash too, you know it’s likely a voltage issue. Once you find stable settings, you can try tweaking further. Let me know how it goes or if you need help with any of these steps!
@@piano_tv241 Sorry to hear that! It’s possible that your CPU might not handle undervolting as well due to the silicon lottery. I recommend resetting the BIOS to default or Intel baseline settings first, then testing Cinebench to see if it runs without crashing. Also, ensure your cooling setup is working properly.
@@piano_tv241 Reaching 100°C in Cinebench with default settings is common for high-performance CPUs like the i9-13900K or i7-14700K, especially if the cooler isn’t strong enough. I’d recommend checking your current cooler and ensuring it’s properly installed with good thermal paste application. If you’re using a stock or budget cooler, upgrading to a high-end air cooler or a 240mm+ AIO would help a lot.
With a SilverStone 360mm liquid cooler, you can set PL1 and PL2 to 253W for maximum performance while keeping temps under control. If you prefer lower temps and quieter operation, try starting at 200W and adjust based on your workload and temperature results. Let me know how it goes! 😊💪
Thank you so much for this informative video. I was getting poor fps in the game, so I opened up msi afterburner, and some cores on my i9-14900kf were hitting 100°. I thought, "Oh well, I guess my noctua nh-d15 just wasn't enough to cool it." Then I followed your instructions and set the undervolt to -.05, and pl1 and pl2 power limits to 253 watts. Now my max temp on any of the cores is only 82°with a bump in fps. Then I ran a cinebench r23 and scored 38132. Should I try increasing the undervolt more or leave it as is?
You're very welcome! Glad to hear the guide helped and that you’re seeing such great improvements in temps and performance. With your current setup being stable and scoring 38,132 in Cinebench R23, you’re already in an excellent spot. If you want to push the undervolt further, consider lowering the offset gradually in small steps (e.g., -0.010V increments) while monitoring stability with stress tests like Cinebench and demanding games. If you encounter crashes or performance drops, dial it back to your current stable setting. Enjoy your cool and powerful rig! 💪🔥💻
I managed to score 38281 with a .06 undervolt. Any more and got blue screen. Temps went down to 78° max on the same game I originally tested. Amazing what such a simple tweak in a motherboard can do
Sorry to hear about the bluescreen! It could be caused by an unstable undervolt or incorrect power settings. Here’s what you can try: - Reset BIOS Settings: Enter the BIOS and reset everything to default settings. See if the PC runs games without crashing. - Adjust Undervolt: If you applied a negative offset, reduce it (e.g., from -0.100V to -0.050V) or disable it entirely to test stability. - Power Limits: Make sure PL1 and PL2 are set around 253W or use "Auto" if unsure. - Load Line Calibration (LLC): Set LLC to a moderate level like Level 4 or 5 if your BIOS has that option. - BSOD Error Code: Take note of the specific error code when the bluescreen happens-it can point to the exact issue. Let me know how it goes or if you need more detailed help! 😊
@saveroomorg hi, ty for reply. Meanwhile I found the problem. I had to chance from SpecEnch to Optimization and now all works good and with better temps as before. The tutorial was good.
@@veryan3751 Glad to hear you found the solution and that the tutorial helped! Switching from SpecEnch to Optimization can make a big difference in performance and temps. If you ever want to tweak settings further or explore more optimizations, feel free to reach out. Happy gaming! 🎮🔥💻
Hey, wanted to ask you for your opinion if you don't mind so I have an i9 13900k and since day one when I got it which was like 11-12 months ago in Oct 2023 I undervolted it the very first day and tested my undervolt to ensure stability which has never been an issue for months and my stable undervolt was pretty much -50mv and above that I could notice some stability issues now with the new microcode and a new bios update which apparently when I checked my bios updates I had 9 newer bios versions compared to my old 1503 something. Now with this new bios update and microcode I somehow could push a negative offset of -100Mv and I ran cinebench r23 for 40 min without any crashes/freezes/stutters while temp was looking amazing and I got a score of 37k. I also ran for fun 15 min of occt cpu+ram together without errors and a single set of memory without any errors. After that I just played far cry 5 at ultra settings for hours and kept using pc like always to make sure there's nothing weird and after two days there's still nothing weird while I gained so much more perfomance and way less heat. And I didn't change my cores / or disable TBV / or all that which some people do I just put a negative offset and that's about it isn't that pretty unusual for i9 13900k to be able to push such high undervolts? and what you think about my score?. And on a serious note should I try to push above -100mv??
It sounds like you've achieved some impressive results with your i9-13900K! Going from -50mV to -100mV with a stable system, lower temperatures, and a Cinebench R23 score of 37k is definitely noteworthy. It's not unheard of, but it is unusual-especially with such a high undervolt. Every CPU is different due to the silicon lottery, and you seem to have a very efficient chip. My thoughts: - Stability: If your system remains stable after thorough testing (like you've done with Cinebench, OCCT, and gaming), that's a great sign. - Performance: Your score is excellent, and it looks like you're benefiting from the undervolt without sacrificing performance. - Pushing further: If you're considering going beyond -100mV, proceed cautiously. Run stability tests after each adjustment. Even small changes can lead to crashes or errors, especially under heavy workloads. Ultimately, you've done everything right-testing thoroughly and monitoring performance. If everything is stable, enjoy the gains! But remember, stability is key, so don't push too hard if you start seeing any instability.
@@saveroomorg Thanks for the feedback appreciated it since you replied I should add that I'm still stable! and my average cinerbench r23 score is 38k now with -100mv all I did was put the case fans from standard speed to high?, and yeah I'm considering trying my limit xD..... and on a serious note my pump is running a 2700 fixed RPM and not max which is 3200-3300.
@@yuetel7790 Awesome to hear you’re stable and hitting 38K in Cinebench R23-that’s a solid score, especially with the -100mV undervolt! 🎉 Boosting the case fans to high definitely helps with temps. If you're thinking about pushing your limits, go for it, but keep an eye on those temps and stability tests! 😄 Also, running the pump at 2700 RPM seems like a good balance; you might not need to max it out unless you're hitting thermal limits. Let me know how far you can push it! xD
Thank you man so much. As a newbie it has been such a headache man.... If i want to start playing with some values to finde perfect performance spot, what values should i change?
You’re very welcome! 😊 For a good starting point, I recommend following the values from the video for your first try. They’re safe and balanced for performance and temperature reduction. Once you’re stable: Core Voltage Offset: Adjust it slightly lower (-0.010V steps) to see how far you can undervolt without crashing. CPU Load Line Calibration (LLC): Consider fine-tuning this for better voltage stability. Power Limits (PL1/PL2): You can adjust these for efficiency vs. performance balance. Make small changes one at a time and test stability after each adjustment. Enjoy the process and happy tweaking! 💪🔥
Great video. How many Watts do you recommend for undervolting the i7-13700K? I want to keep the CPU a bit cooler without sacrificing almost any FPS in games
Thanks for the kind words! For the i7-13700K, I’d recommend setting the power limits (PL1 and PL2) to 253W. This helps keep your CPU cool without sacrificing too much performance. Start with a lower voltage offset, like -0.020V, and gradually work up to around -0.090V, checking for stability along the way. Every CPU is different due to silicon quality, so your ideal settings might vary.
It depends on your CPU really, I have 13700kf and I have underclocked by 100mhz on both P and E cores, set CPU Load Line to 9 and undervolted by -0.080 offset. This results on 180W usage on full load, dropped from 280W on default. Only %3 performance loss in CineBench23, from 30500 to around 29500. In gaming you don't even feel the difference.
@@bilbobaggins8794 Thanks for sharing your setup! That’s a solid configuration for managing power and temperature without sacrificing much performance. Dropping 100W at full load with just a 3% hit in Cinebench scores is impressive, and it’s good to hear there’s no noticeable impact in gaming. For anyone looking to optimize power efficiency, your approach with a slight underclock and -0.080 offset is a great example.

I just want to say thank you so much for your recent video. I have a Gigabyte z790 Aorus Elite AX with an i5 13600k and RTX 3060 12GB. I've tried using settings from other videos, but either ended up with crashes or simply unable to boot. Your video was easy to follow, and the only thing I changed slightly was using -.075v in Dynamic Vcore. MSFS 2020 in VR is my main testing choice as I've reached 100 Celsius with the Intel default settings, no overclock, but with your settings, I'm now hitting no higher than 78 C, with no loss of performance. I hope your video gets a lot more views, as it's straightforward to follow, and is truly appreciated. 👍
@@brett3613 Thank you so much for your kind words, bro! It really means a lot to me. I’m glad to hear the settings work for you-knowing that helps me feel like I’ve reached my goal.🙌
@@saveroomorg Hey, after playing more MSFS 2020 VR this morning and encountering slight stuttering for a few seconds while flying over mountains at times, I thought it might be that your settings were a bit too low, but that wasn't the case, as I reverted back to stock and ended up with the same stutter that only seems to occur in specific areas of the map for some reason. So I went back to your settings, and have been enjoying much lower temps and smooth gameplay in some other VR games I've played. Thank you again.
@@brett3613 *Hi, if you think the issue might be caused by the undervolt settings, I suggest reducing the undervolt value or adjusting the "Loadline Calibration" settings. You can try setting it to "Low," "Medium," or "High." Just be careful, as it might increase CPU temperatures. However, the voltages should remain stable since Voltage and Watts limits are already set.*
@@saveroomorg I just honestly think now that in MSFS, specifically, there are going to be stutters every now and then due to amount of info being streamed while flying. I just happened to fly over a few areas I hadn't before while testing your settings, but as mentioned, when I defaulted back to Intel stock, the exact same stutters occurred, so it wasn't your settings causing it. I also did a stress test with your settings, and everything ran like a charm with the highest temp reaching 83 C at any point, compared to 100 C with Intel stock. Your settings are great. 😃
I have a 14900k I followed all your settings and i put the offset on -0.0050 PL1 and PL2 are also 170 i noticed under Cinebench 23 under full load my temps are stable @ 70c full load which is nice and voltage never goes past 1.4V on burst but stay around 1.1V under load clock speeds under load are at 4.2ghz under the this benchmark but i got an error during my benchmark so something isnt stable. I have Gigabyte pref on Optimized also ,I use a NH-DH15 air cooler.
Thanks for sharing your experience! For the 14900K, I recommend setting PL1 and PL2 to 253W to provide the necessary power for optimal performance and stability during benchmarks. Your temperatures at 70°C under full load are good, but if you’re experiencing instability, that might be due to the lower power limits. Since you’re at an offset of -0.050V, consider adjusting the voltage or incrementing your offset in small steps to improve stability. Also, keep in mind that for such a powerful CPU, an air cooler might not be sufficient. If your temps start going higher, you might want to consider setting PL1 to 125W and PL2 to 188W. However, I highly recommend using a water cooler for the 14900K to really unlock its potential. The NH-D15 is solid, but water cooling will provide better thermal management. Keep experimenting, and let me know how it goes!
ITs the perfect explaination. THank you man, so much. Just one thing i didnt get, do you actually turn-off the Under Voltage protection or you leave in on Auto? PS: I am on AORUS Z790 Elit and 13600k. Its great combo.
Glad you found the explanation helpful, and cool to hear we have the same setup - it's definitely a great combo! As for the undervoltage protection, I usually turn it off. I haven't noticed any significant difference in performance that way. BTW, I have the same PC config right now :)
@@saveroomorg Cool :) I did not removed the protection and its fine, but when was testing Multi-Core on Benchmark - it had error. But on Single Core - it was top of the line :))))
For the i7-14700KF with the Arctic Freezer 280mm, starting with a -0.050V offset should be a safe approach to reduce temps without pushing things too far. It should give you a bit of extra cooling without much impact on stability. You can test it out, monitor your system, and adjust further if needed. Let me know if you notice any difference in temperatures or stability!

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. 😊
@@saveroomorgfirst of all thanx for writing such huge msg for a help kudos.❤ My temp are under control it goes to 75 max my ram goes to 5200mhz ddr5 . But how should i achieve more score because i9 14900k tend to have 40,000 score not 38,000 score is there anything should i tweak
hey bros, there's been a terrible management of intel for months, I realized after a lot of tests that my processor is solid, but when I'm browsing the browser, I see a voltage of 1.53, is that normal? i'm using an ASUS B Series MOBO and I need to switch to the 0x104 microcode to do the undervolt look I'm not changing the bios version I'm just switching to that version from the interface my bios has received all the updates but I'm still seeing unnecessary heats is it okay for me to use the 0x104 microcode I mentioned. thanks
Seeing 1.53V in the browser can be normal due to how Intel's power management works, especially with stock BIOS settings. However, undervolting can help reduce this and stabilize temperatures. Switching to the 0x104 microcode is a common workaround some users use to enable undervolting after Intel's updates locked it. If you choose to switch, proceed carefully: - Ensure you know how to revert changes if needed. - Monitor stability and temps after switching. - Apply a safe undervolt starting at -0.050V and adjust gradually while testing stability. - Limit CPU Voltage on 1.400V Let me know how it works out! 😊💻
@@saveroomorg IA VR limit i lost 40 fps when I did 1400, but I'm still undecided whether to switch to the 0x104 bio, even if the sudden temperature increase is not in the games, it bothered me to see the 1-second 80-degree increase that I clicked on the browser, but I think processors are not easily corrupted devices
I get some watch dog errors on some games. Now i have my own set up i did . Its rare snd typically in like shaders like wukong get crashes or blue screens? Any idea? I think i have most things set to default and vcore to -04 so nothing crazy and turned of intel settings. I got 14700k. I think my core clock is set to auto not normal whats that difference?
It sounds like your system might need a bit of tweaking to improve stability, especially if you’re seeing watchdog errors and blue screens in certain games. Here are a few things you could try: - Vcore Offset: Since you’re using -0.040V, you might try reducing the offset slightly, maybe around -0.020V to see if stability improves. Sometimes even small changes can make a big difference. - Core Clock Settings: When set to Auto, the core clock allows the CPU to dynamically adjust based on load, potentially boosting higher than the Normal setting, which can sometimes push voltage or heat limits. If stability is an issue, you might try setting the clock to Normal to see if it smooths things out. - Intel Power Settings: If you’ve disabled Intel-specific settings, such as Turbo Boost, turning them back on could help with performance management and system balance. - Check Memory and Driver Updates: Outdated drivers or memory misconfigurations can sometimes trigger these errors, especially in games with heavy shader use. Give these a shot and let me know if it helps! If the issue persists, sharing any additional error codes would be useful to troubleshoot further.
I followed your instructions to a detail and unfortunately, it did not work. My PC froze, I got blue screen and now it takes longer time to hear that beep from the motherboard when turning the PC on. What could be the problem? I have i9 14900k CPU.
Sorry to hear you're having trouble! It sounds like the system might be struggling with the settings. For the i9 14900K, I’d recommend starting with a smaller undervolt - try an offset around -0.020V and gradually increase it if the system remains stable. Additionally, set ICCMAX to 400A, but no higher, as pushing it further can cause instability. Ensure that the PL1 and PL2 are set around 253W for better stability. If the PC continues to freeze or crash, you might want to try enabling *Intel Default Settings* to see if the CPU can handle it. If possible, could you also share the BSOD error code? That can give us more insight into what’s going on. Let me know how it goes.
Can you make a video on the adaptive offset undervolt because this really really tanks performance and some (me especially after fighting with my bios for the last 4 days to find the perfect AC, DC, offset amount and LLC to not burn my house down during a stress test) would really appreciate it. Kudos for the vid though!
Thanks for your comment! I totally understand how frustrating it can be to dial in the perfect undervolt, especially with all the BIOS settings like AC, DC, offset, and LLC. It’s definitely a more complex process! The good news is, I’m already working on creating an ultimate undervolting guide that will cover everything-from easy, straightforward settings to more complex but highly efficient undervolting approaches. I’ll be diving into adaptive offset undervolting in detail to help with situations like yours. Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss it! I think you’ll find it really helpful. Thanks again for the support!
i did everything you said, my watts consumption dropped from 165W to 125 W and performance in cinebench from 23500 to 14600 :D. Having I5 13600KF and gigabyte B760m. Why so huge drop at performance ?
Hi ! I have an i7 14700k and a z790 aorus elite pro X and I did all the steps until disable integrated graphics, and my minecraft crash after 3-4 sec, do you have any idea which of this settings causing this? When I reactivated the integrated grahicds and set the dynamic core to normal like before it was fixed but more temperature D:
Hi! Thanks for sharing your experience. Regarding the dynamic Vcore, I recommend watching this specific point in the video: th-cam.com/video/LZA-h9yUV50/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2fUt9Dq8-1sja509&t=234. Make sure the settings match your system and follow the instructions closely, as this can have a significant impact on stability. As for the integrated graphics, if you're not using it, you can leave it disabled, but if you’re still experiencing crashes, try enabling it again or adjusting the dynamic Vcore to a less aggressive undervolt (e.g., -0.050V) to see if that helps stabilize things. Let me know how it goes!
Could you clarify what you mean by "Can we in i9 14900k"? Are you asking if the settings in the video apply to the i9-14900K or if there's something specific you’d like to achieve with this processor? Let me know, and I'll be happy to help! 😊
Thanks a lot for the Video. I was looking for a good Tutorial for the latest Gigabyte Bios. Before all off the undervolting my i7 13000k was hitting 100 °C and after with a offset of -80 its at max 86 °C. And even the Cinebench score improved. I was really shocked that my CPU was Throtteling with a 360 AIO. Without undevolting this CPU really has bad Temps.
*You're very welcome! I'm glad the video helped. It’s impressive to see how much of a difference undervolting can make, especially with that -80mV offset bringing your temps down so much. Undervolting really helps these CPUs perform better without hitting those extreme temperatures. If you have any more questions or need further tweaks, feel free to ask.*
@@saveroomorg Hey, i saw some other guides and videos where also the cache voltage is reduced via offset. Does that make a difference? I only saw that on asus motherboard so i dont know how to do that on gigabyte. And also what should i set the Load-Line Calibration (LLC)? What is the best for undervolting without hurting performance? Thanks for your help
@@HeroHakuu Hi! There are definitely a lot of guides out there, but in my video, I’ve applied official Intel information to ensure accurate and safe settings. Since the settings you’ve used have worked for you with the same or even higher benchmark values, I recommend keeping them as is. For the 13700K, setting the power limits to 253W is a good balance, and 86°C is a solid temperature for a fully loaded CPU. In the video, I also cover Load-Line Calibration (LLC), and I’d suggest sticking to the settings I demonstrate. Unnecessarily increasing LLC can lead to higher temps and is generally only needed for overclocking or if your CPU becomes unstable at lower voltages. The goal of the video is to keep Intel CPUs cool and safe from degradation.
I used these on my i9-13900k and my temps were really good but my game ended up crashing like 20 mins in what settings should i change to make sure it doesnt happen
I'm glad to hear your temps were good, but I'm sorry to hear about the game crashing! For the i9-13900K, I recommend trying the following adjustments: - Undervolt Gradually: If you’re using a significant undervolt, try reducing it slightly (e.g., go from -0.100V to -0.050V) and see if stability improves. - Check Power Limits: Ensure that PL1 and PL2 are set to around 253W for better stability, as this will help prevent throttling. - Adjust ICCMAX: Set ICCMAX to 400A, as pushing it higher can lead to instability. Keep an eye on your system's performance and stability as you make these changes. If you have any further issues, feel free to share more details, and I'll do my best to help!
i have a 13700kf, and read that for PL1 we should not go over the base power limit mentioned by intel, which is 125W, while PL2 is 253W, do you recommend first trying to just undervolt without changing power limits and test my temps/voltage and then if i want a further temperature decrease i can change my PL2 limit to make it lower? (180-200W)
*For the 13700KF, Intel's default settings for PL1 and PL2 are both set to 253W in Performance mode. You can either set this manually as shown in the video or leave it as is. Just don’t forget to apply the rest of the settings. The main approach should work for all Intel CPUs, although values might vary. After applying these settings, my CPU no longer hits the limits. It should work for you as well.*
@@saveroomorg Thanks, i think I will first try intel default settings with some undervolt without changing power limits and see how my numbers are before changing anything else.
@@ja1nam431 *Sure, it’s up to you, of course. But I’d be careful with the "Intel Default Settings" profile. It can push your CPU voltage up to 1.55V, which is quite high. Also, consider voltage spikes-they’re more dangerous for the CPU than the "Power Limit." The values I shared earlier are from Intel’s official recommendations for each CPU model. I just gathered all the data and compiled it into the video to make it straightforward to follow and apply. Feel free to ask any further questions.*
@@saveroomorg yes i saw some people get high voltage which is why i will probably test then under volt when i have the chance since i am away at the moment
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! 😊
I have I7 14700KF and my problem is that the usage on my deepcool cooler is on 100% and when i open task manager it goes down to 5~7% HOW CAN I SOLVE IT CAN YOU HELP GUYS 😭
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! 🚨💻
I use Intel 13700K chip with Gigabyte Z690I AORUS Ultra DDR4 motherboard (F29E BIOS version). When I adjust according to the instructions in your video (with Intel Default Setting is Disabled), the temperature drops 20 Degrees, but I get BSOD when I run CineBech for about 5 minutes. But when I turn on Intel Default Setting again (still keep the remaining parameters according to your video), my computer doesn't get BSOD anymore, the temperature increases by about 5 Degrees. Is this abnormal? thanks you
Thanks for your comment! It sounds like you’re on the right track, but I recommend following the video step by step without skipping any parts, as I go into a lot of detail to ensure everything works smoothly. For your 13700K, I suggest setting the power limits to 253W and keeping Intel Default Settings off, as enabling them can cause the CPU to run hotter. For undervolting, start with a lower voltage offset, like -0.020V, and then gradually increase it step by step up to -0.090V. Be sure to test stability after each step to avoid issues like the BSOD you're experiencing. Keep in mind that every CPU is different in terms of silicon quality, so some chips may require different voltage settings to remain stable. Please follow the video carefully without jumping ahead to avoid potential issues, and feel free to reach out if you have any more questions!
I haven't had these settings up for too long but for some reason after I did this my MSI Afterburner stopped displaying my GOU temperature and I can't get it to work again, it displays FPS and the cpu temp on games, quite strange.
@@alexangell903 As I mentioned earlier, please follow the video step by step. Skipping any part can lead to different results. Also, make sure to carefully listen to the details I cover in the video, as I’ve addressed all the cases you're referring to.

Thank you very much for the perfect video tutorial. My Gigabyte Z690 with 13600KF makes me really happy now. It is unbelievable how the consumption and temperature have decreased and at the same time the performance has increased. However, I can't get to 1.05, it already crashes with Cinebench, 0.75 is fine.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really glad to hear the tutorial helped and that your Gigabyte Z690 with the 13600KF is running smoothly now. It’s amazing how tuning can reduce power consumption and temperature while boosting performance, right? Regarding the offset, every CPU behaves a bit differently due to silicon variance, so it’s completely normal that you can't reach 1.05 without crashing. If 0.75 is stable for you, that’s great! Stability is key, and you’ve found the sweet spot for your setup. Let me know if you have any other questions, and happy gaming🎮
Hi iam a resident surgeon,i also do gaming,, i was having some overheating issue so i followed the above guide ,, now my pc wont start . . Any help please 🙏
Hi! Thanks for reaching out, and sorry to hear you're running into issues. Since your PC isn’t starting after applying these settings, here are a few steps to get things back on track: 1. Reset the BIOS: Power down, unplug your PC, and locate the CMOS battery on your motherboard. Remove it for about 5-10 seconds, then place it back. This should reset your BIOS to default settings. 2. Check Power Limits and Voltage: If you can get into the BIOS again, start with Intel’s default settings, then gradually apply any changes from the guide. 3. Double-Check Connections: Just to be safe, ensure all power cables are properly connected. Give these a try, and let me know if anything changes!
@@saveroomorg thank u gentle man. I unplugged CMOS , reset BIOS default. But how do I undervolt, i play games and when i increase the graphics it crashes idk the issue. Just playing with low graphics now ... i 7 14700k Rtx 4070 super Ddr5 32 gigs Z790 UD AC gigabyte motherboard.. It's a terrible build .. crashes whenever I sit to play
@@yashadiwal5712 Since the 14700K runs hot, let’s start with a few checks and steps that might help improve stability without disabling the Intel GPU, as well as ensure your cooling setup is optimal. Undervolting: In your BIOS, look for the Dynamic Vcore setting. Start with a small negative offset, like -0.050V, to help lower temps without causing instability. Since the 14700K runs hot, undervolting can make a difference, but it’s essential to go gradually. Cooling Check: With a powerful CPU and GPU like yours, good thermal management is crucial. Double-check the cooler installation, ensuring the thermal paste is evenly applied and that the cooler itself is properly seated. Also, ensure that your case has good airflow. Power Limits: You can set the Turbo Power Limits (PL1 and PL2) in your BIOS to around 200-230W. This should help reduce crashes from sudden power spikes, especially during gaming. Driver & BIOS Updates: Make sure your motherboard BIOS and GPU drivers are updated to the latest versions, as these often include stability fixes. Stress Testing: After these adjustments, run a stress test (like Cinebench) to monitor for stability before gaming. Let me know how it goes, and if the system remains stable! This should help reduce crashes while still giving you a smooth gaming experience.

*Bonjour ! Content que ton PC fonctionne plus rapidement et chauffe moins. Pour le CPU Clock Ratio, si tu le laisses en auto, le système utilisera les paramètres par défaut, qui sont généralement bien équilibrés pour la stabilité et les performances. Si tu n'as pas besoin de pousser au maximum, tu peux le laisser en auto sans souci - ça va garantir des réglages optimaux sans avoir à t'en occuper.*
@@H3TONY66 T’inquiète pas, tous ces réglages ne risquent rien pour ton processeur tant que t’as bien suivi les étapes du tuto. L’undervolting et les ajustements des limites de puissance sont safe si tu les fais correctement. En fait, ça peut même prolonger la durée de vie de ton CPU en réduisant la chaleur et la conso d’énergie. Assure-toi de bien régler les limites de puissance (PL1/PL2) pour ton processeur à pas plus de 253W, et la limite de voltage à pas plus de 1.400V. Ça va aider à garder le tout stable et éviter la surchauffe. Suis bien toutes les étapes et surveille les températures.

Very nice! I updated my gigabyte z790 gaming x ax (rev. 1.1) with i7-13700k from bios v. F4 to F11. Before update my voltages rarely went above 1.4v in idle or gaming (not sure about heavy load. Temps atleast were super high, close to 100c in video rendering) After bios update I only enabled XMP and Re-Size bar and went with Intel defaults. Now voltages went as high as 1.47v in gaming, temps were normal gaming temps. Then I followed your settings basically everything, expect I left Turbo Power Limits on auto. Now voltages never goes to 1.4v in gaming (max was 1.38v) and temps were super cool 76c in video rendering (before it was close to 100c). Im little worried about random reboots, since others have had issues with this motherboard and this bios version. I'll try to update if I encounter anything abnormal. Btw FPS in CS2 seemed to stay the same, which is super nice. Thank you for your video!
Thanks for sharing your experience! It sounds like the BIOS update made a significant difference for your setup. It's great to hear that your voltages and temperatures have improved, especially during video rendering! Keeping the Turbo Power Limits on auto can sometimes help maintain stability while still allowing for better performance. I’ve never faced random reboots, but I understand your concerns, especially with the Z790 and this BIOS version. It might be worth keeping an eye on it and updating the BIOS if you encounter any issues. Also, try adjusting your undervolting values if needed. Glad to hear the performance stayed consistent too! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out. Happy gaming!
Thanks for the update. I’d actually recommend sticking with your current BIOS version, whatever it is, as there have been a lot of reports about instability with recent updates. For the guide itself, it doesn’t matter much, since we’re setting all the limits manually. You can follow the guide as is, and everything should work fine. I’d also suggest waiting for a stable main BIOS version before updating to newer releases. Better to be safe and avoid unnecessary issues!
@@saveroomorg Are all 13th and 14th gen cpus affected? Like every single unit? I have 13700k since february 2023. My pc is almost constantly running, I play demanding video games on it and work on it and I had absolutely 0 issues with it. I am afraid that installing any microcode updates will do more harm than good :/
@@GrimmJow010 You're right-all 13th and 14th gen CPUs are indeed affected by the issue, but the impact can vary from system to system. If you haven't experienced any crashes or performance drops so far, you’re among those with a setup handling it well. The microcode update is intended to provide a safety net, especially for more extreme workloads or setups that could encounter issues over time. If stability concerns come up or if a stable BIOS version with the fix is released, then updating could be a smart move. But if everything’s solid now, you’re in a good spot!
@@saveroomorg I've read the main thing they did is lower the voltage which on my end actually looks fine (like for others after the microcode update) so dunno if I should touch it - especially after reading that some people had issues AFTER installing the microcode. Will do more research probably.
Pas mal pour ta config ! Avec un 13900KF à 5,4 GHz sur les P-Cores et 1,28V, tu as des températures solides à 85°C avec un watercooling 240. Si tu cherches à descendre un peu plus en température, tu pourrais envisager un léger undervolt. Sinon, tes valeurs sont déjà bien optimisées pour cette puissance !
Thank you for this video! Helped me a lot! I have 14700F on a Gigabyte B760I DDR5 with F11 firmware (microcode 0x12B). Applied the settings in the video, but used 77 Watt for Package Power Limit 1/2 (because the CPU has 65). Results (before - after): Temp: 64..67 - 64..67 Blender 4.3.0 score: 262 - 313 (!) y-cruncher VT3: 5.7e9 - 7.0e9 (!) I'm quite happy with the results. Thank you!
You're very welcome! 😊 I’m glad the video helped and that you’re seeing such impressive results-those performance gains in Blender and y-cruncher are fantastic! 🎉 Lowering the power limit while still boosting performance shows how effective tuning can be, even on a 65W-rated CPU. If you ever want to tweak further or explore other settings, feel free to reach out. Happy computing! 💻🔥
Sorry to hear about the blue screen! 😊 It sounds like the system might be a bit unstable with the current settings. I’d recommend reducing the undervolt slightly and testing again. For example, if you’re using an offset of -0.100V, try lowering it to -0.050V and see if that improves stability.

i have the same CPU ,but i have a problem when gaming a delay when shooting other players
@@lazerseo6825 That sounds frustrating! Input lag or delays in games can come from a few different sources. Here are some quick things you might want to check:
- Undervolting Settings: If you’ve undervolted your CPU, try reducing the undervolt slightly or going back to stock settings to see if the issue persists.
- Power Limits: Ensure your PL1 and PL2 power limits are set appropriately-sometimes low limits can cause stuttering or delays under load.
- Background Processes: Make sure nothing heavy is running in the background, especially while gaming.
- Latency Settings: Check your in-game settings for things like V-Sync or frame caps. Disabling V-Sync can help reduce input lag.
- Network Lag: If it's an online game, ensure your internet connection is stable and fast.
Let me know if any of these help, or if you want to dive deeper into troubleshooting! 😊
This guy is a legend! Not just improved temps but also stable ones. I recommend doing everything he says in the video for the best results. I personally didn’t disable the ‘intel performance’ option but dropped my temps to 80c (14700KF for anyone wondering) also set PL1 to 200 and PL2 to 220. 240mm AIO
Thank you so much for the kind words! 🙌 I'm glad the guide helped improve your temps while keeping your system stable. Setting PL1 to 200W and PL2 to 220W is a smart move for better efficiency, especially with a 240mm AIO.

Hi, thank you for your step-by-step tutorial. I did everything according to your instructions and the results are wonderful.
I have an Intel Core I7-14700K processor on a Gigabyte Z790 UD AX board.
Results on default settings:
Cinebench: 33k pts, maximum 100 degrees Celsius, power consumption 253W.
Results after undervolting:
Cinebench: 32k pts, maximum 75 degrees Celsius, average 62, power consumption: 170W.
3% efficiency for aprox. 25 degrees less and 83W less power consumption. Sounds like a great deal. Because it is great.
Thanks again.
That's fantastic to hear! Dropping 25°C and 83W for just a 3% performance trade-off is indeed a win, especially with the 14700K on a board like the Z790 UD AX.

Thank You very much,
With the i7 14700k, These Settings fits Perfect. But when I run Prime 95, why do i get Blue Screens?
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! 😊
For 8:57 What if I have an AOI?
If you have an AIO cooler, you can push power limits higher for better performance while keeping temps in check. Just monitor temperatures closely and adjust settings accordingly for optimal stability and cooling efficiency.
what % of power loss should we expect from those settings?
The power loss from these settings is minimal, typically around 1-3%, depending on the specific undervolt and power limit adjustments. However, the trade-off is significantly lower temperatures and much better power efficiency, making it well worth it for most users.
However, from the comments under the video, you’ll see that in many cases, performance can even improve due to more stable clock speeds and reduced thermal throttling. 😊🔥💻
@@saveroomorg when changing voltage curve to normal, lose 20% fps in star citizen, which is the most cpu heavy game i know.
@@Max_Cony It would be helpful to have more details about your setup, but I recommend following all the steps carefully in the video. Regarding the 20% FPS loss in Star Citizen when changing the voltage curve to normal, it's possible that the settings are not fully optimized for your specific system.
thank you very much for this, may I ask you how could I improve performance from here? I tried going in the CPU Vcore Loadline Calibration from normal to turbo, and uppering the PL1 and 2 from 170 to 200 but cinebench throws worse scores? like from 28k to 26k
thank you again
You’re very welcome! If your Cinebench scores dropped after increasing PL1 and PL2, it could be due to instability from the higher power draw or voltage settings. Here’s what you can try:
- Reset Loadline Calibration (LLC): Try setting LLC back to "Normal" or "High" instead of "Turbo." Turbo can cause voltage overshoots, reducing stability.
- Fine-Tune Undervolt: If you’ve undervolted, consider adjusting the offset slightly toward zero (less negative) to find the sweet spot.
- Check CPU Temps: Ensure temperatures aren’t throttling performance under load.
- Power Limits: PL1 and PL2 at 200W should be stable, but try 180-190W if the system is still unstable.
Let me know how it goes! 😊
@@saveroomorg will do thank you!
got a question sorry im a noob to bios settings anyways if i leave the dynamic vcore at 50 instead of the 105v that you have it at will i lose performance or gain?
*No problem at all! If you keep the dynamic Vcore at -0.050V instead of -0.105V, you shouldn't experience any performance drop. The only difference may be slightly higher temperatures, but this really depends on your specific CPU unit since it's all about the silicon lottery. Just monitor your temps, and you should be good to go! If you have more questions, feel free to ask!*
Friend, do you recommend the same settings for a 14700k?
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.
Hello, for my 13700k cinebench tests are crashing right away and cs2 crashes after a few minutes of play. I started with dynamic vcore of -0.01 and used Pl1 and Pl2 253W. Im not sure what else I need to change. My cooler is the noctua nh d15
Hey! It sounds like your system might be unstable with the current settings. Crashes in Cinebench and CS2 usually indicate that the CPU isn’t getting enough voltage. Here are a few things you could try:
1. Adjust the dynamic vcore: Start with a smaller undervolt or even go back to stock voltage to confirm stability, then gradually decrease it (try -0.005 instead of -0.01).
2. Check your temps: The Noctua NH-D15 is excellent, but make sure temperatures aren’t throttling performance. During stress tests, monitor temps with tools like HWMonitor.
3. PL1/PL2 settings: 253W is okay, but you could try setting them a bit higher or use the default motherboard limits to see if that helps.
4. Stability testing: Use tools like Prime95 or OCCT for stability checks. If those crash too, you know it’s likely a voltage issue.
Once you find stable settings, you can try tweaking further. Let me know how it goes or if you need help with any of these steps!
@@saveroomorg I tried those settings and cinebench still crashes after couple seconds :( Maybe my cpu cant be undervolted i dont know what to do haha
@@piano_tv241 Sorry to hear that! It’s possible that your CPU might not handle undervolting as well due to the silicon lottery. I recommend resetting the BIOS to default or Intel baseline settings first, then testing Cinebench to see if it runs without crashing.
Also, ensure your cooling setup is working properly.
@ default settings do work but when I run cinabench my temps instantly reach 100C. Do you think I need a cooler or should I rma my cpu?
@@piano_tv241 Reaching 100°C in Cinebench with default settings is common for high-performance CPUs like the i9-13900K or i7-14700K, especially if the cooler isn’t strong enough. I’d recommend checking your current cooler and ensuring it’s properly installed with good thermal paste application.
If you’re using a stock or budget cooler, upgrading to a high-end air cooler or a 240mm+ AIO would help a lot.
What about if i use liquid cooler silver stone 360 ... What i have to choose in turbo power limit ?
With a SilverStone 360mm liquid cooler, you can set PL1 and PL2 to 253W for maximum performance while keeping temps under control. If you prefer lower temps and quieter operation, try starting at 200W and adjust based on your workload and temperature results. Let me know how it goes! 😊💪
@@saveroomorg 200w working perfect .. thank you so much really
@@mahmoudhussin6011go choose 253 for Both pl1 and pl2 and try
Thank you so much for this informative video. I was getting poor fps in the game, so I opened up msi afterburner, and some cores on my i9-14900kf were hitting 100°. I thought, "Oh well, I guess my noctua nh-d15 just wasn't enough to cool it." Then I followed your instructions and set the undervolt to -.05, and pl1 and pl2 power limits to 253 watts. Now my max temp on any of the cores is only 82°with a bump in fps. Then I ran a cinebench r23 and scored 38132. Should I try increasing the undervolt more or leave it as is?
You're very welcome! Glad to hear the guide helped and that you’re seeing such great improvements in temps and performance. With your current setup being stable and scoring 38,132 in Cinebench R23, you’re already in an excellent spot.
If you want to push the undervolt further, consider lowering the offset gradually in small steps (e.g., -0.010V increments) while monitoring stability with stress tests like Cinebench and demanding games. If you encounter crashes or performance drops, dial it back to your current stable setting.
Enjoy your cool and powerful rig! 💪🔥💻
Will do. Thank you very much and merry Christmas @saveroomorg
I managed to score 38281 with a .06 undervolt. Any more and got blue screen. Temps went down to 78° max on the same game I originally tested. Amazing what such a simple tweak in a motherboard can do
Help pls, after i changed the settins and saved+restart when i open a game my pc gets bluescreen and restart. Which setting could be the issue?
Sorry to hear about the bluescreen! It could be caused by an unstable undervolt or incorrect power settings. Here’s what you can try:
- Reset BIOS Settings: Enter the BIOS and reset everything to default settings. See if the PC runs games without crashing.
- Adjust Undervolt: If you applied a negative offset, reduce it (e.g., from -0.100V to -0.050V) or disable it entirely to test stability.
- Power Limits: Make sure PL1 and PL2 are set around 253W or use "Auto" if unsure.
- Load Line Calibration (LLC): Set LLC to a moderate level like Level 4 or 5 if your BIOS has that option.
- BSOD Error Code: Take note of the specific error code when the bluescreen happens-it can point to the exact issue.
Let me know how it goes or if you need more detailed help! 😊

Hey, wanted to ask you for your opinion if you don't mind so I have an i9 13900k and since day one when I got it which was like 11-12 months ago in Oct 2023 I undervolted it the very first day and tested my undervolt to ensure stability which has never been an issue for months and my stable undervolt was pretty much -50mv and above that I could notice some stability issues now with the new microcode and a new bios update which apparently when I checked my bios updates I had 9 newer bios versions compared to my old 1503 something. Now with this new bios update and microcode I somehow could push a negative offset of -100Mv and I ran cinebench r23 for 40 min without any crashes/freezes/stutters while temp was looking amazing and I got a score of 37k. I also ran for fun 15 min of occt cpu+ram together without errors and a single set of memory without any errors. After that I just played far cry 5 at ultra settings for hours and kept using pc like always to make sure there's nothing weird and after two days there's still nothing weird while I gained so much more perfomance and way less heat. And I didn't change my cores / or disable TBV / or all that which some people do I just put a negative offset and that's about it isn't that pretty unusual for i9 13900k to be able to push such high undervolts? and what you think about my score?. And on a serious note should I try to push above -100mv??
It sounds like you've achieved some impressive results with your i9-13900K! Going from -50mV to -100mV with a stable system, lower temperatures, and a Cinebench R23 score of 37k is definitely noteworthy. It's not unheard of, but it is unusual-especially with such a high undervolt. Every CPU is different due to the silicon lottery, and you seem to have a very efficient chip.
My thoughts:
- Stability: If your system remains stable after thorough testing (like you've done with Cinebench, OCCT, and gaming), that's a great sign.
- Performance: Your score is excellent, and it looks like you're benefiting from the undervolt without sacrificing performance.
- Pushing further: If you're considering going beyond -100mV, proceed cautiously. Run stability tests after each adjustment. Even small changes can lead to crashes or errors, especially under heavy workloads.
Ultimately, you've done everything right-testing thoroughly and monitoring performance. If everything is stable, enjoy the gains! But remember, stability is key, so don't push too hard if you start seeing any instability.
@@saveroomorg Thanks for the feedback appreciated it since you replied I should add that I'm still stable! and my average cinerbench r23 score is 38k now with -100mv all I did was put the case fans from standard speed to high?, and yeah I'm considering trying my limit xD..... and on a serious note my pump is running a 2700 fixed RPM and not max which is 3200-3300.
@@yuetel7790 Awesome to hear you’re stable and hitting 38K in Cinebench R23-that’s a solid score, especially with the -100mV undervolt! 🎉 Boosting the case fans to high definitely helps with temps.
If you're thinking about pushing your limits, go for it, but keep an eye on those temps and stability tests! 😄 Also, running the pump at 2700 RPM seems like a good balance; you might not need to max it out unless you're hitting thermal limits.
Let me know how far you can push it! xD
Thank you man so much. As a newbie it has been such a headache man.... If i want to start playing with some values to finde perfect performance spot, what values should i change?
You’re very welcome! 😊
For a good starting point, I recommend following the values from the video for your first try. They’re safe and balanced for performance and temperature reduction. Once you’re stable:
Core Voltage Offset: Adjust it slightly lower (-0.010V steps) to see how far you can undervolt without crashing.
CPU Load Line Calibration (LLC): Consider fine-tuning this for better voltage stability.
Power Limits (PL1/PL2): You can adjust these for efficiency vs. performance balance.
Make small changes one at a time and test stability after each adjustment. Enjoy the process and happy tweaking! 💪🔥
Great video. How many Watts do you recommend for undervolting the i7-13700K? I want to keep the CPU a bit cooler without sacrificing almost any FPS in games
Thanks for the kind words! For the i7-13700K, I’d recommend setting the power limits (PL1 and PL2) to 253W. This helps keep your CPU cool without sacrificing too much performance. Start with a lower voltage offset, like -0.020V, and gradually work up to around -0.090V, checking for stability along the way. Every CPU is different due to silicon quality, so your ideal settings might vary.
It depends on your CPU really, I have 13700kf and I have underclocked by 100mhz on both P and E cores, set CPU Load Line to 9 and undervolted by -0.080 offset. This results on 180W usage on full load, dropped from 280W on default. Only %3 performance loss in CineBench23, from 30500 to around 29500. In gaming you don't even feel the difference.
@@bilbobaggins8794 Thanks for sharing your setup! That’s a solid configuration for managing power and temperature without sacrificing much performance. Dropping 100W at full load with just a 3% hit in Cinebench scores is impressive, and it’s good to hear there’s no noticeable impact in gaming. For anyone looking to optimize power efficiency, your approach with a slight underclock and -0.080 offset is a great example.

@@brett3613 Thank you so much for your kind words, bro! It really means a lot to me. I’m glad to hear the settings work for you-knowing that helps me feel like I’ve reached my goal.🙌
@@saveroomorg Hey, after playing more MSFS 2020 VR this morning and encountering slight stuttering for a few seconds while flying over mountains at times, I thought it might be that your settings were a bit too low, but that wasn't the case, as I reverted back to stock and ended up with the same stutter that only seems to occur in specific areas of the map for some reason. So I went back to your settings, and have been enjoying much lower temps and smooth gameplay in some other VR games I've played. Thank you again.
@@brett3613 *Hi, if you think the issue might be caused by the undervolt settings, I suggest reducing the undervolt value or adjusting the "Loadline Calibration" settings. You can try setting it to "Low," "Medium," or "High." Just be careful, as it might increase CPU temperatures. However, the voltages should remain stable since Voltage and Watts limits are already set.*
@@saveroomorg I just honestly think now that in MSFS, specifically, there are going to be stutters every now and then due to amount of info being streamed while flying. I just happened to fly over a few areas I hadn't before while testing your settings, but as mentioned, when I defaulted back to Intel stock, the exact same stutters occurred, so it wasn't your settings causing it. I also did a stress test with your settings, and everything ran like a charm with the highest temp reaching 83 C at any point, compared to 100 C with Intel stock. Your settings are great. 😃
I have a 14900k I followed all your settings and i put the offset on -0.0050 PL1 and PL2 are also 170 i noticed under Cinebench 23 under full load my temps are stable @ 70c full load which is nice and voltage never goes past 1.4V on burst but stay around 1.1V under load clock speeds under load are at 4.2ghz under the this benchmark but i got an error during my benchmark so something isnt stable. I have Gigabyte pref on Optimized also ,I use a NH-DH15 air cooler.
Thanks for sharing your experience! For the 14900K, I recommend setting PL1 and PL2 to 253W to provide the necessary power for optimal performance and stability during benchmarks. Your temperatures at 70°C under full load are good, but if you’re experiencing instability, that might be due to the lower power limits.
Since you’re at an offset of -0.050V, consider adjusting the voltage or incrementing your offset in small steps to improve stability. Also, keep in mind that for such a powerful CPU, an air cooler might not be sufficient. If your temps start going higher, you might want to consider setting PL1 to 125W and PL2 to 188W. However, I highly recommend using a water cooler for the 14900K to really unlock its potential. The NH-D15 is solid, but water cooling will provide better thermal management. Keep experimenting, and let me know how it goes!

For the i7-14700KF with the Arctic Freezer 280mm, starting with a -0.050V offset should be a safe approach to reduce temps without pushing things too far. It should give you a bit of extra cooling without much impact on stability. You can test it out, monitor your system, and adjust further if needed.

I got 2000score jump in cinebnch r23 i have i9 14900k total score 38,500score
But other people is achieving 42,000 score how ? On same cpu ??
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. 😊

@@warzonetech yes, limit is 1.7, dont worry.
Seeing 1.53V in the browser can be normal due to how Intel's power management works, especially with stock BIOS settings. However, undervolting can help reduce this and stabilize temperatures. Switching to the 0x104 microcode is a common workaround some users use to enable undervolting after Intel's updates locked it.
If you choose to switch, proceed carefully:
- Ensure you know how to revert changes if needed.
- Monitor stability and temps after switching.
- Apply a safe undervolt starting at -0.050V and adjust gradually while testing stability.
- Limit CPU Voltage on 1.400V

@@Max_Cony 1.7V is already a dangerous voltage. Limit it ASAP if that's the case.
I get some watch dog errors on some games. Now i have my own set up i did . Its rare snd typically in like shaders like wukong get crashes or blue screens? Any idea? I think i have most things set to default and vcore to -04 so nothing crazy and turned of intel settings. I got 14700k. I think my core clock is set to auto not normal whats that difference?
It sounds like your system might need a bit of tweaking to improve stability, especially if you’re seeing watchdog errors and blue screens in certain games. Here are a few things you could try:
- Vcore Offset: Since you’re using -0.040V, you might try reducing the offset slightly, maybe around -0.020V to see if stability improves. Sometimes even small changes can make a big difference.
- Core Clock Settings: When set to Auto, the core clock allows the CPU to dynamically adjust based on load, potentially boosting higher than the Normal setting, which can sometimes push voltage or heat limits. If stability is an issue, you might try setting the clock to Normal to see if it smooths things out.
- Intel Power Settings: If you’ve disabled Intel-specific settings, such as Turbo Boost, turning them back on could help with performance management and system balance.
- Check Memory and Driver Updates: Outdated drivers or memory misconfigurations can sometimes trigger these errors, especially in games with heavy shader use.
Give these a shot and let me know if it helps! If the issue persists, sharing any additional error codes would be useful to troubleshoot further.
I followed your instructions to a detail and unfortunately, it did not work. My PC froze, I got blue screen and now it takes longer time to hear that beep from the motherboard when turning the PC on. What could be the problem? I have i9 14900k CPU.
Sorry to hear you're having trouble! It sounds like the system might be struggling with the settings. For the i9 14900K, I’d recommend starting with a smaller undervolt - try an offset around -0.020V and gradually increase it if the system remains stable.
Additionally, set ICCMAX to 400A, but no higher, as pushing it further can cause instability. Ensure that the PL1 and PL2 are set around 253W for better stability. If the PC continues to freeze or crash, you might want to try enabling *Intel Default Settings* to see if the CPU can handle it.
If possible, could you also share the BSOD error code? That can give us more insight into what’s going on. Let me know how it goes.
Can you make a video on the adaptive offset undervolt because this really really tanks performance and some (me especially after fighting with my bios for the last 4 days to find the perfect AC, DC, offset amount and LLC to not burn my house down during a stress test) would really appreciate it.

Thanks for your comment! I totally understand how frustrating it can be to dial in the perfect undervolt, especially with all the BIOS settings like AC, DC, offset, and LLC. It’s definitely a more complex process!

And also what should i set the Load-Line Calibration (LLC)? What is the best for undervolting without hurting performance?
Thanks for your help
@@HeroHakuu Hi! There are definitely a lot of guides out there, but in my video, I’ve applied official Intel information to ensure accurate and safe settings. Since the settings you’ve used have worked for you with the same or even higher benchmark values, I recommend keeping them as is. For the 13700K, setting the power limits to 253W is a good balance, and 86°C is a solid temperature for a fully loaded CPU.
In the video, I also cover Load-Line Calibration (LLC), and I’d suggest sticking to the settings I demonstrate. Unnecessarily increasing LLC can lead to higher temps and is generally only needed for overclocking or if your CPU becomes unstable at lower voltages. The goal of the video is to keep Intel CPUs cool and safe from degradation.
I used these on my i9-13900k and my temps were really good but my game ended up crashing like 20 mins in what settings should i change to make sure it doesnt happen
I'm glad to hear your temps were good, but I'm sorry to hear about the game crashing! For the i9-13900K, I recommend trying the following adjustments:
- Undervolt Gradually: If you’re using a significant undervolt, try reducing it slightly (e.g., go from -0.100V to -0.050V) and see if stability improves.
- Check Power Limits: Ensure that PL1 and PL2 are set to around 253W for better stability, as this will help prevent throttling.
- Adjust ICCMAX: Set ICCMAX to 400A, as pushing it higher can lead to instability.
Keep an eye on your system's performance and stability as you make these changes. If you have any further issues, feel free to share more details, and I'll do my best to help!
@@saveroomorg thank you, just to double check I should set both pl1 and pl2 both on 253W?

i have a 13700kf, and read that for PL1 we should not go over the base power limit mentioned by intel, which is 125W, while PL2 is 253W, do you recommend first trying to just undervolt without changing power limits and test my temps/voltage and then if i want a further temperature decrease i can change my PL2 limit to make it lower? (180-200W)
*For the 13700KF, Intel's default settings for PL1 and PL2 are both set to 253W in Performance mode. You can either set this manually as shown in the video or leave it as is. Just don’t forget to apply the rest of the settings. The main approach should work for all Intel CPUs, although values might vary. After applying these settings, my CPU no longer hits the limits. It should work for you as well.*
@@saveroomorg Thanks, i think I will first try intel default settings with some undervolt without changing power limits and see how my numbers are before changing anything else.
@@ja1nam431 *Sure, it’s up to you, of course. But I’d be careful with the "Intel Default Settings" profile. It can push your CPU voltage up to 1.55V, which is quite high. Also, consider voltage spikes-they’re more dangerous for the CPU than the "Power Limit." The values I shared earlier are from Intel’s official recommendations for each CPU model. I just gathered all the data and compiled it into the video to make it straightforward to follow and apply. Feel free to ask any further questions.*
@@saveroomorg yes i saw some people get high voltage which is why i will probably test then under volt when i have the chance since i am away at the moment
@@ja1nam431did it help?
Your settings are pooching performance. Some are good, but overall a reduction in performance.
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! 😊
I have I7 14700KF and my problem is that the usage on my deepcool cooler is on 100% and when i open task manager it goes down to 5~7% HOW CAN I SOLVE IT CAN YOU HELP GUYS 😭
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! 🚨💻
I use Intel 13700K chip with Gigabyte Z690I AORUS Ultra DDR4 motherboard (F29E BIOS version). When I adjust according to the instructions in your video (with Intel Default Setting is Disabled), the temperature drops 20 Degrees, but I get BSOD when I run CineBech for about 5 minutes. But when I turn on Intel Default Setting again (still keep the remaining parameters according to your video), my computer doesn't get BSOD anymore, the temperature increases by about 5 Degrees. Is this abnormal? thanks you
Thanks for your comment! It sounds like you’re on the right track, but I recommend following the video step by step without skipping any parts, as I go into a lot of detail to ensure everything works smoothly. For your 13700K, I suggest setting the power limits to 253W and keeping Intel Default Settings off, as enabling them can cause the CPU to run hotter.
For undervolting, start with a lower voltage offset, like -0.020V, and then gradually increase it step by step up to -0.090V. Be sure to test stability after each step to avoid issues like the BSOD you're experiencing. Keep in mind that every CPU is different in terms of silicon quality, so some chips may require different voltage settings to remain stable.
Please follow the video carefully without jumping ahead to avoid potential issues, and feel free to reach out if you have any more questions!
I haven't had these settings up for too long but for some reason after I did this my MSI Afterburner stopped displaying my GOU temperature and I can't get it to work again, it displays FPS and the cpu temp on games, quite strange.
@@alexangell903 As I mentioned earlier, please follow the video step by step. Skipping any part can lead to different results. Also, make sure to carefully listen to the details I cover in the video, as I’ve addressed all the cases you're referring to.
@@alexangell903 como te va? para no tener problemas con el afterburner no deberias desactivar la igpu del micro, seguro tenes como en mi caso un 13 - 14 k, al desactivar el video del micro te deja de dar esos datos en los programas de informacion... Saludos.
Thank you very much for the perfect video tutorial. My Gigabyte Z690 with 13600KF makes me really happy now. It is unbelievable how the consumption and temperature have decreased and at the same time the performance has increased. However, I can't get to 1.05, it already crashes with Cinebench, 0.75 is fine.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really glad to hear the tutorial helped and that your Gigabyte Z690 with the 13600KF is running smoothly now. It’s amazing how tuning can reduce power consumption and temperature while boosting performance, right?
Regarding the offset, every CPU behaves a bit differently due to silicon variance, so it’s completely normal that you can't reach 1.05 without crashing. If 0.75 is stable for you, that’s great! Stability is key, and you’ve found the sweet spot for your setup.
Let me know if you have any other questions, and happy gaming🎮
Hi iam a resident surgeon,i also do gaming,, i was having some overheating issue so i followed the above guide ,, now my pc wont start . . Any help please 🙏
Hi! Thanks for reaching out, and sorry to hear you're running into issues. Since your PC isn’t starting after applying these settings, here are a few steps to get things back on track:
1. Reset the BIOS: Power down, unplug your PC, and locate the CMOS battery on your motherboard. Remove it for about 5-10 seconds, then place it back. This should reset your BIOS to default settings.
2. Check Power Limits and Voltage: If you can get into the BIOS again, start with Intel’s default settings, then gradually apply any changes from the guide.
3. Double-Check Connections: Just to be safe, ensure all power cables are properly connected.
Give these a try, and let me know if anything changes!
@@saveroomorg thank u gentle man. I unplugged CMOS , reset BIOS default. But how do I undervolt, i play games and when i increase the graphics it crashes idk the issue. Just playing with low graphics now ... i 7 14700k

Z790 UD AC gigabyte motherboard..
It's a terrible build .. crashes whenever I sit to play
@@yashadiwal5712 Since the 14700K runs hot, let’s start with a few checks and steps that might help improve stability without disabling the Intel GPU, as well as ensure your cooling setup is optimal.
Undervolting: In your BIOS, look for the Dynamic Vcore setting. Start with a small negative offset, like -0.050V, to help lower temps without causing instability. Since the 14700K runs hot, undervolting can make a difference, but it’s essential to go gradually.
Cooling Check: With a powerful CPU and GPU like yours, good thermal management is crucial. Double-check the cooler installation, ensuring the thermal paste is evenly applied and that the cooler itself is properly seated. Also, ensure that your case has good airflow.
Power Limits: You can set the Turbo Power Limits (PL1 and PL2) in your BIOS to around 200-230W. This should help reduce crashes from sudden power spikes, especially during gaming.
Driver & BIOS Updates: Make sure your motherboard BIOS and GPU drivers are updated to the latest versions, as these often include stability fixes.
Stress Testing: After these adjustments, run a stress test (like Cinebench) to monitor for stability before gaming.
Let me know how it goes, and if the system remains stable! This should help reduce crashes while still giving you a smooth gaming experience.
bonjour je vois mon pc plus rapide avec mon i9 13900k et chauffe moins encore merci sa fonctionne après le cpu graphics voltage j'ai laissé en auto puis perfomance cpu clock ratio c'étais déjà a 30 au lieu de 35 je dois quand même modifier cela ou non
*Bonjour ! Content que ton PC fonctionne plus rapidement et chauffe moins. Pour le CPU Clock Ratio, si tu le laisses en auto, le système utilisera les paramètres par défaut, qui sont généralement bien équilibrés pour la stabilité et les performances. Si tu n'as pas besoin de pousser au maximum, tu peux le laisser en auto sans souci - ça va garantir des réglages optimaux sans avoir à t'en occuper.*
@@saveroomorg après sa ne risque en rien au processeur tout c'est paramètre effectué ?
@@H3TONY66 T’inquiète pas, tous ces réglages ne risquent rien pour ton processeur tant que t’as bien suivi les étapes du tuto. L’undervolting et les ajustements des limites de puissance sont safe si tu les fais correctement. En fait, ça peut même prolonger la durée de vie de ton CPU en réduisant la chaleur et la conso d’énergie.
Assure-toi de bien régler les limites de puissance (PL1/PL2) pour ton processeur à pas plus de 253W, et la limite de voltage à pas plus de 1.400V. Ça va aider à garder le tout stable et éviter la surchauffe. Suis bien toutes les étapes et surveille les températures.
@@saveroomorg merci pour ton retour. Mon CPU de jeu monte à 60 degrés max, donc je pense que j'ai tout bien fait. J'ai même lancé Cinebench et il n'y a pas eu de crash.
@@H3TONY66 Merci pour ton retour ! Je suis vraiment heureux d’entendre que la vidéo t’a aidé. C’est super que ton CPU ne monte qu’à 60 degrés max, ça veut dire que tout est bien réglé. Le fait que Cinebench se soit bien déroulé sans crash est un excellent signe de stabilité. Si tu as d'autres questions ou si tu veux partager tes résultats, n'hésite pas !
I do lock clock and lock voltage. Problem solved.
Very nice! I updated my gigabyte z790 gaming x ax (rev. 1.1) with i7-13700k from bios v. F4 to F11. Before update my voltages rarely went above 1.4v in idle or gaming (not sure about heavy load. Temps atleast were super high, close to 100c in video rendering) After bios update I only enabled XMP and Re-Size bar and went with Intel defaults. Now voltages went as high as 1.47v in gaming, temps were normal gaming temps. Then I followed your settings basically everything, expect I left Turbo Power Limits on auto. Now voltages never goes to 1.4v in gaming (max was 1.38v) and temps were super cool 76c in video rendering (before it was close to 100c). Im little worried about random reboots, since others have had issues with this motherboard and this bios version. I'll try to update if I encounter anything abnormal. Btw FPS in CS2 seemed to stay the same, which is super nice. Thank you for your video!
Thanks for sharing your experience! It sounds like the BIOS update made a significant difference for your setup. It's great to hear that your voltages and temperatures have improved, especially during video rendering! Keeping the Turbo Power Limits on auto can sometimes help maintain stability while still allowing for better performance.
I’ve never faced random reboots, but I understand your concerns, especially with the Z790 and this BIOS version. It might be worth keeping an eye on it and updating the BIOS if you encounter any issues. Also, try adjusting your undervolting values if needed.
Glad to hear the performance stayed consistent too! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out. Happy gaming!
0x12B microcode has been released and it may not be the last.
Thanks for the update. I’d actually recommend sticking with your current BIOS version, whatever it is, as there have been a lot of reports about instability with recent updates. For the guide itself, it doesn’t matter much, since we’re setting all the limits manually. You can follow the guide as is, and everything should work fine. I’d also suggest waiting for a stable main BIOS version before updating to newer releases. Better to be safe and avoid unnecessary issues!
@@saveroomorg Are all 13th and 14th gen cpus affected? Like every single unit? I have 13700k since february 2023. My pc is almost constantly running, I play demanding video games on it and work on it and I had absolutely 0 issues with it. I am afraid that installing any microcode updates will do more harm than good :/
@@GrimmJow010 You're right-all 13th and 14th gen CPUs are indeed affected by the issue, but the impact can vary from system to system. If you haven't experienced any crashes or performance drops so far, you’re among those with a setup handling it well. The microcode update is intended to provide a safety net, especially for more extreme workloads or setups that could encounter issues over time. If stability concerns come up or if a stable BIOS version with the fix is released, then updating could be a smart move. But if everything’s solid now, you’re in a good spot!
@@saveroomorg I've read the main thing they did is lower the voltage which on my end actually looks fine (like for others after the microcode update) so dunno if I should touch it - especially after reading that some people had issues AFTER installing the microcode. Will do more research probably.
thanks
You are welcome!
Perso 13900kf a 5.4 p core 1.28v e core 40 tempa. 85 avec watercolling 280
Pas mal pour ta config ! Avec un 13900KF à 5,4 GHz sur les P-Cores et 1,28V, tu as des températures solides à 85°C avec un watercooling 240. Si tu cherches à descendre un peu plus en température, tu pourrais envisager un léger undervolt. Sinon, tes valeurs sont déjà bien optimisées pour cette puissance !
Thank you for this video! Helped me a lot!
I have 14700F on a Gigabyte B760I DDR5 with F11 firmware (microcode 0x12B).
Applied the settings in the video, but used 77 Watt for Package Power Limit 1/2 (because the CPU has 65).
Results (before - after):
Temp: 64..67 - 64..67
Blender 4.3.0 score: 262 - 313 (!)
y-cruncher VT3: 5.7e9 - 7.0e9 (!)
I'm quite happy with the results. Thank you!
You're very welcome! 😊 I’m glad the video helped and that you’re seeing such impressive results-those performance gains in Blender and y-cruncher are fantastic! 🎉
Lowering the power limit while still boosting performance shows how effective tuning can be, even on a 65W-rated CPU. If you ever want to tweak further or explore other settings, feel free to reach out. Happy computing! 💻🔥
i got blue screen after the first test 😊
Sorry to hear about the blue screen! 😊 It sounds like the system might be a bit unstable with the current settings. I’d recommend reducing the undervolt slightly and testing again. For example, if you’re using an offset of -0.100V, try lowering it to -0.050V and see if that improves stability.
Disable graphics doesn’t show on Msi afterburner
*In my guide, I don’t use MSI Afterburner at all, so I’m not sure what you're referring to. The steps I covered don’t involve disabling graphics through Afterburner. If you’re following a different setup, let me know, and I’ll try to help, but for my video, you won’t need MSI Afterburner.*
@@saveroomorg I think he's referring to the part of the video at 4:25, where you mention to disable internal graphics, as long as you don't use them. :)
@@brett3613 Ah, got it! Yes, at 4:25, I do mention disabling internal graphics if you’re not using them. That’s just to prevent the integrated GPU from consuming unnecessary resources. Thanks for pointing that out.
@vitinvaldez4927 if you’re using an F-series CPU (like 14700KF), it doesn’t have integrated graphics, so this step wouldn’t apply.
