Hello, I'm checking if it's possible to lower your CPU clock in overclock mode for your 11700K 5.0GHz. You want to set manual values like 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, etc., without using turbo boost or C-states. Currently you're running at 4.9GHz and it affects the AIO Triple 360mm setup speeds similarly to MSI Afterburner fan curves.

I needed to translate your message from English to English via chatGPT. I’m not sure how things have changed since my last experience with an Intel CPU, but you managed to set the static base clock, multiplier, and voltage. The main issue back then was handling AVX workloads, which meant you had to cut your overclock by at least 15-20% to avoid crashes during those loads. The second part refers to extensive low-level scripting and using XTU. I think there isn’t a ready-made solution for that, and it feels like a pointless effort when you already have turbo boost.

When Intel Turbo Boost is turned off, the 11700K operates at its Base Frequency only, which stands at 3.60 GHz. This setting can be found on the official Intel page. Some motherboards offer BIOS settings that claim to disable Turbo Boost, but this doesn’t actually change the processor’s behavior. Users may mistakenly believe Turbo Boost isn’t needed, yet it remains essential for performance beyond that base speed. The BIOS will typically activate Turbo Boost if you attempt to run your CPU faster than 3.60 GHz, even if you disable the C states. Enabling Turbo Boost at default ensures stable operation across active cores. If you need higher speeds, adjust the turbo limits according to your system’s needs. For example, with lighter workloads, you can allow a boost up to 4.90 or 5.00 GHz while keeping temperatures manageable. The CPU will automatically throttle when under heavy load, such as during intensive tasks. You can fine-tune these settings based on your cooling solution and workload preferences. If you’re using a cooler like the Corsair H100i, it helps maintain performance. Running Cinebench R23 can reveal if voltage or temperature issues are affecting stability. Checking the reported VCore voltage via HWiNFO may point to power management problems that need attention.
