Help please! Maximus XIII hero 11700kf
Afternoon. I hope someone can assist me.
Recently, I've been configuring my 11700KF board using an M13H board (noctua nh-d15). I've previously overclocked extensively on AM3+ and lga1151 boards, but this time I chose to stick with the boost algorithms because of the limited OC capabilities of these chips.
So far, things have gone well, and I'm trying to provide as much detail as possible. Instead of adjusting the adaptive voltage, I've focused on fine-tuning the ASUS settings.
I enabled xmp/disabled avx512(don't use it).
Activated multi-core enhancement and unlocked all power limits, which allowed me to achieve an all-core boost of 4.9ghz, though the VCore reached a peak of 1.54v and caused very high temperatures.
Switching SVID behavior gave significantly better voltages. Now I'm boosting to 4.9 all-core at a much more reasonable voltage (around 1.4v).
Everything appears stable, with maximum temperatures staying around 75°C during testing.
My questions are:
1) The turbo boost 3 spec for the CPU is 5ghz. The max ratio is showing in the BIOS at 5ghz. Why is the all-core boost only reaching 4.9ghz? I assumed that because the ASUS settings bypassed the 2-core limit and boosted all cores, they would automatically reach 5ghz?
2) Are there any downsides to turning off AVX512? I'm not doing heavy calculations, just general PC use and modern games.
3) Can I adjust the cache ratio and voltage while using speedstep or power-saving features? What kind of small improvements does overclocking the cache on an 11th-gen processor bring?
Thank you very much for your help.
BIOS settings aren't compatible with these chips. Keeping Turbo and voltage options in auto or default mode can push speeds up to 5GHz+, but overheating is likely due to excessive voltage. My board was hitting 1.58v even with optimized defaults. It runs at 5.0GHz all-core with 1.32v, staying stable. Idle temps around 30°C, browsing 35-40°C, AAA gaming 52-58°C, stress never exceeds 70°C. MCE, TVB, and other auto-clock/boost features turned off. C-States and stepping are active. AVX2 at -1, AVX512 at -3. Programs relying on these will run much slower. I haven't experienced this issue...

Leaving Turbo options and voltages in auto or default mode can push speeds to over 5GHz, but temperatures may become extremely high due to excessive voltage.
My unit was hitting 1.58v when optimized defaults were active.
Now it runs at 5.0GHz all-core with 1.32v and stays stable.
Idle temps around 30°C, browsing 35-40°C, AAA gaming 52-58°C, stress never exceeds 70°C.
C-States and stepping are enabled.
AVX2 supports -1, AVX512 at -3.
Any apps using these features will run much slower.
I haven't tried anything new and didn't see any gains.
I think the current configuration is enough for this setup.
Cheers. That's a shame because the defaults are functioning well now after adjusting the SVID behavior; initially the voltages were too high, but fixing it resolved the issue.
It looks like I might need to try a more robust all-core overclock. I doubt I can stick with 1.32—Asus recommends around 1.45 instead.
I found a helpful guide on applying adaptive voltage to reapply power-saving settings once a stable overclock is achieved, and I thought I could use ASUS's defaults a bit more.
Anyone know why I'm not getting a single-core boost up to 5? I assume current and cooling are fine, what's the temperature limit for Turbo 3? And what are ASUS's default MCE settings?
I think I can probably find that on Google... Off I go.
Yeah the TJmax is 100c and I'm nowhere close to that, so it's probably the turbo settings. Anyway, I'll have to work on getting that 5ghz all-core overclock.
?, odd.
initial setup quickly increased speed to 5GHz.
after a week of AI training, it reached up to 5.4GHz.
but also experienced around 60°C during basic browsing.
i understand these chips can handle voltage and heat, but does ASUS really want us near a heater?
I don't mind too much, which helps keep oil costs down. I'll need to experiment with some settings then! I assumed the Asus MCE should have set me up for 5ghz boost, but I'm not sure what's happening. I'll have to check the bios.
