10700K OC - Task Manager - No activity detected...
It's common for Task Manager to display inaccurate data. Checking system status can help confirm if the issue lies with the software or hardware.
AVX is configured normally aside from disabling, offset which seems set to the default of 6. You already lose around 600MHz regardless. On XMP II you don’t notice much difference between I and II except for a slight boost to 4.8GHz. For stable performance at 5GHz with everyday tasks, aim for core voltage around 1.2V–1.3V and adjust clock speeds accordingly.
It's typical for your audio settings to display different values depending on the application. This inconsistency is common.
The Task Manager performs reasonably well on Intel 10th Gen processors. Performance drops noticeably on older models and may vary with 12th Gen CPUs featuring dual P and E cores at differing speeds. When a 10th Gen Intel CPU runs consistently around 4.80 GHz, the Task Manager typically reflects a slight reduction. Your captured image shows 4.77 GHz, indicating the application isn’t severely impaired. Consider using ThrottleStop for a more precise measurement of your CPU’s multiplier usage. In single-threaded tests with one core, it accurately displays the 52 multiplier most of the time. Background processes often engage additional cores, which can affect results. With default settings on the 10850K, the full 52.00 multiplier isn’t visible during a single-core test. An average of 51.95 at the busiest thread is very close to the ideal. For the 10700K, set all turbo ratios to 50 and apply sufficient voltage for stability. Utilize HWiNFO to track VCore voltage; around 1.35 V could be a good starting point. If instability occurs, increase voltage; if stable, lower it slightly. Exact voltage requirements remain unclear—only stability testing can confirm. If your system struggles to sustain 5.00 GHz under stress, check the BIOS for default turbo limits. Some motherboards allow both power limits to reach 4095W, helping prevent throttling.
Previously configured for a day using @unclewebb at 5.1 GHz across all cores with Vcore set to 1.4V, turbo ratios adjusted to 51, running MSFS2020 for four hours and roughly an hour of CSGO. Temperatures stayed stable; with case fans spinning at 1100 RPM and CPU AIO between 800–900 RPM, maintaining around 60°C and peaking near 67°C.
