i need assistance with 10700k oc
guy, you're my last chance, I think I'm making a mistake with my OC. The temps are really high, especially when I start a game they hit 90c. I have 10700k z490 aorus elite and msi mag aio 360r. Can someone advise me on what to do in tweaker mode? I'm using a fixed vcore at 1.35v, which is the only setting that keeps the PC from crashing.
Initially, what you aim to achieve with overclocking was receiving enhanced performance from a quality chip. That’s no longer the case.
Modern processors are grouped into categories, and top-tier models are reserved for higher-end builds.
If gaming is your goal, stock configurations enable turbo boosts beyond what you could manually adjust across cores.
For batch processing with all cores engaged, overclocking might be worthwhile.
If you’re simply testing the limits for fun, it’s a good idea to try it.
Heat generation stems from elevated CPU voltage and active cores.
A 360AIO could perform well if installed correctly; however, MSI reports some problems with it.
Still, running at 90°C under load isn’t entirely negative, while reaching 100°C marks the point of throttling.
What is the CPU speed you're using? If your setup has a constant VCore, you should also set a consistent multiplier and top speed. A speed near 4.8 GHz could be a suitable starting point for testing.
Brother, I can walk you through this step by step. It seems your system runs at around 5.1ghz with a CPU clock ratio of 51 and ring ratio of 42. The settings for BCLK adaptive voltage, CPU VCO, CPU system agent voltage, and CPU graphics voltage are all set to auto. I only adjusted the CPU ratio and ring ratio. Over the past year, during gaming, temperatures hovered between 60-67°C, but when starting a game, they spike to 80-88°C. In the lobby, it drops to around 50°C, then rises to the 60s during gaming. When using Adobe Premiere on 1080p videos, it reaches 88-92°C, and at idle it’s between 38-44°C. If I open a web browser, it spikes to 50-66°C before cooling down to the 40s. It looks like the voltage levels are much higher than expected. Thanks for your help—I’ve been looking for solutions for a long time.

Modern processors are categorized and higher-end models are reserved for premium configurations.
If your goal is gaming, stock configurations will enable the turbo feature to push performance beyond what you could manually adjust across cores.
For batch processing with all cores engaged, overclocking may still be worthwhile.
If your aim is simply testing the limits and enjoying the challenge, proceed.

I think a 360AIO would perform optimally if installed correctly; MSI appears to have problems with it.
Still, running at 90°C under load isn’t entirely negative.

It could be beneficial to start with stock settings and compare your maximum overclock to observe any noticeable improvements in gameplay.
Be mindful of the placebo effect.
If I remove the overclock, the FPS become unstable in games like PUGG. But I notice something off with the BIOS settings. I read a review about the MSI Mag 360R and it showed the 9900K reaching max 74 to 76C on full load at the CENIMA bench R6. Also, sometimes when I set it to stock, the temperatures go up because the Z490 mobos tend to increase voltage on their own.
It’s typical for temperatures to rise sharply when you increase a CPU’s clock speed. Consider the tip of your pinky finger—now imagine flipping a switch and delivering 150 Watts straight through it. It’s impossible to dissipate that much heat in such a tiny component. These sudden temperature spikes happen because of the intense power being applied.
Some Intel 10th Gen CPUs reach their limits around 5.0 GHz. To run them stably at this speed, the voltage must increase significantly, which generates more heat. Your current temperatures are acceptable. To achieve lower temperatures, you should reduce your CPU’s speed from 5.1 GHz back to 5.0 GHz. The small difference of 100 MHz can still impact heat output if the voltage needs a larger jump to maintain stability at 5.1 GHz.
Certain motherboards allow you to boost any voltage set to Auto in the BIOS. Use HWiNFO to check the actual SA and VCCIO voltages. Make sure BCLK isn’t being overclocked, as enabling BCLK adaptive voltage might not be necessary.
I checked your remark about the cooler and found it interesting. It's quite shocking how much this product falls short compared to some 240mm AIOs. I expected it wouldn't work out due to this issue.
The performance isn't exceptional, but my concern relates to how long this cooler will last. The pump is located in the radiator, slightly off-center, on all Coreliquid models except K and S. Considering what we already understand about preventing air from entering the pump... the user has a 360mm unit, and there are only two possible ways to install it.
