How good is AI overclock?
I used my Z690 Tufi Wi-Fi board with the Asus AI autoclock included. According to Jay Twocent, this made manual overclocking unnecessary. I increased the voltage of my 12700KF to 1.4V and saw it drop to around 4.8GHz. My core temp already reached 4.9-5GHz just by increasing fan speed. I also experimented with Intel XTU after clicking on overclock, which boosted it to 4.8 but wasn’t stable enough for regular use. The results vary depending on the method and settings tried.
Uncertain if all models behave the same. Possibly adjustments were made or a problem was detected, such as power quality or thermal issues. Not sure about every factor involved. My previous setup pushed my 8700k to 5.1 and 1.49, which is excessive for 5 but still risks CPU stress. Most of the time I settle around 1.32 to 1.35.
