I want my cpu to use minimum voltage and watts, just want it to run relaxed and less power, don’t care about performance please guide me I’m new.
For gigabyte motherboard (Advanced Mode):
Perfdrive: Optimized.
CPU Upgrade: Max Performance
Multi-Core Enhancements: Disable
Vcore Voltage Mode: Auto
CPU VCore: Auto
Dynamic Vcore: -0.050 (Test if stable & monitor the temperature)
Then save. Test run cinebench r23. Everything is working fine, go back to BIOS, set TDP P1: 125w & P2: 253w.
Mine is Z690 Aorus Pro DDR4 13700k uv
I mainly use my pc for gaming so first set PL1 to 75W and PL2 125W as 13700k is super efficient after some tuning
set offset mode - legacy and start with vcore -0.110 / RING - 0.020 and go from there.
Test with OCCT instruction AVX/AVX2
I recently upgraded from a i9-11900k to i9-14900k and didn’t have temp problems before but even with a 360mm aio the 14900k was running 100C in cinebench stock out of the box. Following this guys video I lowered my long term power draw to 145 watts and 225 watts and have much better temps. I went from a 35000 score with 100C to 31000 score with 63C temps all core average. Loss of performance but significant reduction in temps. https://youtu.be/LnzDawjBcPM?si=pQLJFXhe3p0emqZg
