Limitation at 4.4GHz frequency
Limitation at 4.4GHz frequency
Core ratio adjustments can't be made directly, this capability is exclusive to Intel's K-SKU chips. Intel Turbo Boost can reach up to 4.9GHz on one core when sufficient cooling allows.
To find which CPUs have the multiplier enabled, check your system's BIOS settings or use a diagnostic tool that reports CPU features.
At the finish of an Intel Core processor, you'll see either a K or X indicating an unlocked multiplier. For example, i7-11700 K or i9-10900 X. AMD supports overclocking for all Ryzen models.
Here’s a clearer version of your message:
So far, the guidance you received isn’t fully detailed. For reference, you can watch this video: https://youtu.be/4YFIJ2X-aG0. You might also consider setting the BCLK OC up to 102.9 MHz for a slight boost. Basically, disable all power restrictions. Then adjust the BCLK OC to the maximum stable frequency (locked chips have a hard cap at 103 MHz). By default, the 11700 core turbo runs at 4.4 GHz. Raising the BCLK OC to 102.9 MHz should push it just above 4.5 GHz across all cores. Also, note that your title mentions 11900, but your post says 11700. If it’s a 11900 chip, you’ll achieve around 4.7 GHz all-core and 4.8 GHz with BCLK tuning.
The KS is an extra choice now available, ready if you need it. If your 11900f isn’t handling a task as expected, don’t worry—this shouldn’t affect your setup.
