You're seeing solid performance with your 12700kf, but it's not reaching higher boosts like you hoped. The 360mm water cooler helps keep things cool, and you're not experiencing thermal throttling—great job! Your specs look solid: a 3070ti processor, 32GB RAM, 3600MHz (8x4) CL18 DDR4, Z690 motherboard, and a 850W PSU. Keep an eye on temperatures during heavy loads to ensure the cooler stays effective.
Checking the maximum turbo frequency for all cores. The Cinebench test didn’t reach 5GHz, but I can help you troubleshoot further. Let me know!
Typically operates at 200-300Mhz below a single-core speed. A 4.8 should be reasonable. How do you track your clocks? Turn off all other programs except monitoring tools to confirm cores weren’t increased enough to trigger multicore boost. I generally check Task Manager’s CPU section, use CPU-Z with the clock feature open for core/uncore details, and run HWiNFO64 to monitor temperatures.
I don’t want to cancel my warranty either—what’s really going on here?
5ghz represents the maximum boost for the processor. I believe pushing all cores to this level isn't really overclocking, just based on how it's described. The term "altering clock frequency" was used in marketing. You haven’t shared any of your 5ghz screenshots yet, so it seems you’re not meeting advertised details. Check the official specs here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/...tions.html. Consider running your PC in Windows Performance mode for better results. The chip should hit around 4.9ghz, which is ideal for gaming at default settings. Performance-core Max Turbo Frequency is listed as 4.90 GHz.
I had already configured it for performance, and it's really disappointing to find that my high-end CPU isn't operating at the expected pace, despite being genuine.
