Hi everyone, I recently purchased a PC about six months ago. My main goal for the CPU and motherboard is to achieve a consistent 5.5GHz performance at an 8C/16T configuration. I struggled to set it up properly in both BIOS and Intel XTU. I’d really appreciate any guidance to reach the desired speed. Right now, in IDLE, when I run R23, the clock readings are as follows: In XTU settings, the results in 3DMARK DX12 extreme time spy show a rather urgent situation. Could anyone assist me? I’m open to paying for time consulting and support. Thanks ahead!

not neccesary I mean this is just a group of hobbyists that help eachother out and i really just chill on the forums to help others and just keep up/learn about new hardware cause im still stuck on ddr3 What happens if you set ratio for cores 2-7 to 55? Thatd be 5.5ghz on all cores Also are your temps really hitting 105c when running cinebench? If so i dont think pushing more volt will help as youll just run into volt rollover and the cpu will destabilize if you add extra volt due to heat youll need a better cooler and the 2 things that come to mind would be a massive external radiator custom loop where you hook up a car radiator to your pc for maximum cooling capacity as pc rads simply will not cut it the 2nd option would be subzero phase change cooling Literally just build a cpu block and hook it up to an ac, although in this vid seems like they were running into thermal transfer issues if the evap at -14c and cpu temp at 38c is anything to go by Id totally build one of these if i had the money but haha no money atm =( the ac units themselves are like 70-100$ used, the block just buy a slug of copper and have someone machine it for you, then theres also the brazing equipment and insulation, literally the only reason i have interest in phase change systems is just to chill my cpu and rams to subzero temps and dailying those low temps with absolutely ridicolous overclocks, quite certain you can hit 6g+ allcore if you keep temps below zero or sub ambient so theres your target and then some

It might be possible, though if you're overheating excessively, you'll likely keep getting hotter. You won't want to rack up performance if you're running at high temperatures. Probably, you don't need higher voltage—since a 13900K chip should already run smoothly around 5.4GHz on all cores, you can safely undervolt it. Try adjusting the P cores to 55x and applying a -100 offset on both, to test. In the worst scenario, your CPU might crash; in the best case, it could perform much better.

I believe reducing the voltage will maintain temperatures better. The image shared displays an overvoltage instead of undervoltage, which is probably the core issue. During undervolting, the IA Offset voltage should be negative.

How's it going, unclewebb? This person should avoid overheating since they're already hot.

We're still using a positive voltage offset, which is not undervolting but rather overvolting. Your CPU should operate at full reliability with reduced voltage. The additional voltage you're applying is generating extra heat. P core 4 and P core 5 seem to be the top two cores, as indicated by the star next to them in XTU. If you plan to fine-tune individual cores, it makes sense to run your two best cores at the 56x multiplier. With the extra heat available, you might prefer simplicity and set all cores to 55 or 54. Core temperatures reaching 107°C exceed Intel's 100°C limit. For long-term stability, it's best to configure the maximum CPU temperature to the default 100°C in the BIOS.
