i9 10900 VCORE
Hi,
I have a few questions after messing around with my new RIG - In particular my i9 10900 NON k
My SPECS are:
Asus TUF gaming Z490-Plus
Corsair TX750M 750W
Corsair H100x Liquid Cooler
Intel i9 10900
Asus 3080 TUF
32 GB Corsair Vengance LPX (3200MHZ)
I have enabled the following the BIOS.
XMP-2
Turbo Boost
MCE
Performance Mode
My questions are:
1. At the moment all my cores are running at 4.6 GHZ - also in idle. I pressume this is because of performance mode ? Which is a standard options in ASUS BIOS.
This means that VCORE is 1.33V - Is this safe in the long run, or will it degrade the CPU ? -

2. I score 6000 in Cinebench with these settings, which is the best result I can get. Is this a good score, or am I overdriving my CPU ?
3. Are there better "Non OC" settings for a 10900 that would grant me better gaming performance ? The reason i've this is to be sure that I'm not bottling my 3080.
Thanks in advance.
Pardon the multi-quotes, it's a bad habit of mine!
I wouldn't say it's the BEST way... but it's certainly the simplest.
Ooh, that one can be a real headache, as it affects 'everything' - core, cache, and memory frequencies. Can be highly unstable.
Really need to take your time with that method.
Yes, to both, but there's a bit of a dilemma going on here.
-The higher one goes in resolution, the easier the cpu's work becomes and the harder the gpu's work is. Going...
Right now I'm using 1080 at 144Hz on a BENQ screen. I'm considering upgrading to a 1440P 240Hz monitor to improve performance. If not, the ASUS ROG 360HZ model is an option. I understand these settings don't matter much since my monitor only supports 140Hz, but I'm aiming for at least +200 FPS in Warzone. This is mainly about optimizing my rig's speed.
Maybe, but what temperature does it reach under heavy use?
No specific idea. This isn’t something I focus on personally. Someone else might have the answer.
You’ve already activated MCE, which is essentially a one-click OC. If LOAD thermals work, then further adjustments aren’t needed.

Such a waste of time.
At 1080p ultra-high refresh, performance is mainly limited by CPU and RAM speeds. The GPU takes a back seat.
Why would you aim for just 500fps when you’re still experiencing drops below 240/360/etc.?
The main goal should be achieving the highest possible fps to ensure the smoothest experience, which the GPU doesn’t significantly help with.
I see the TUF board supports up to 4800mhz...
CPU/GPU are operating around 60-65 degrees in MW/Warzone with these configurations.
I attempted to reset my BIOS, but MCE remains set to "Auto" by default, so I decided to keep it that way.
My next monitor purchase is on the list, but I'm still unsure about what to choose.
I’m considering the new Samsung G7 27" or the Asus 27" ROG Strix XG279Q.
The Corsair Vengeance LPX only supports up to 3200MHZ according to the XMP-1, which is the maximum it shows.
I also want to check if using 1.33V could harm the CPU over time.
👍 I've addressed it already, though I realize my explanation wasn't precise. 1.33Vcore is acceptable. If the CPU was operating at 85C+ during heavy use, that wouldn't apply. Check sources like Hardware Unboxed for monitor evaluations, as they sometimes cover such topics. Tom's also reviews monitors. The drawback is that these reviews might not reflect real-world experiences after some time. I was looking at the motherboard's actual QVL for RAM: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/TUF...VL_Memory/
Thanks for the detailed reply Phaaze88. The information provided is helpful. Would you like me to summarize your questions in a concise way?
It's okay to admit it's not the optimal approach, though it's definitely the most straightforward one.
That particular issue tends to impact all aspects—core, cache, and memory speeds—and can lead to significant instability.
I’d advise proceeding with caution when using this method.
Yes, it applies to both, but there’s a clear challenge involved.
Increasing resolution makes CPU tasks easier while making GPU work more demanding; reversing the trend has the opposite effect.
With Nvidia’s recent updates to FP32 shaders, the 3080 model can only truly perform well at 4K resolution. At 1440p it shows less improvement than at 2080p, and even less so at 1080p. This doesn’t offer much benefit for gaming with ultra-high refresh rates.
In comparison, Intel’s Skylake lineup has a hard upper limit around 3733mhz, while the Ryzen 3000 series reaches its maximum refreshes without hitting that ceiling—though gains are smaller than before. They also handle memory timings more flexibly, making it easier to optimize performance.
Currently, most components are priced higher than necessary, influenced by supply issues, the pandemic, and some companies capitalizing on the situation.
Many people aim for the highest-end options, but sometimes that goes beyond what’s practical. Others view it as a missed opportunity or wasted effort from other angles.
Cool. I plan to give this a shot for a while. I was also thinking about testing it out:

I might need some help understanding how it works, and whether it really helps compared to the other method I used.
Would you say my RIG can handle the same number of frames on a 27" 1440p screen as it does on a 24" 1080p one?
