Hello mate, what settings did you have to change in your bios? I bought the same CPU. I’m waiting to buy the motherboard. It’s not in stock yet. (Asus Maximus z790 Dark Hero) And the only thing I know is we should increase the volt and try to increase the frequencies. But I’m also reading that instead of increasing the voltage, we should actually decrease it (undervolting) and I don’t understand how we can then overclock the CPU by undervolting and having a stable system.
Voltage Regulator Thermal Design Current Limit (VR-TDC)
VR-TDC is a power management feature supported by Intel power management architecture. The feature introduces a current limit, naturally specified in amperes, that is to be maintained to preserve the electrical constraints on properties of the voltage regulator (VR). Generally, the control algorithm monitors the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) current, which is also measured in amperes, by reading current measurements from the VR. As with other control algorithms, this algorithm controls the power budget based on a given time window. If the limit is hit, the processor will reduce the CPU frequency (frequency throttling) to ensure the current remains below this limit.
My 14900k runs at 6.2 already with no effort. It’s done 6.2 on four cores and 6.1 on the other four.
