This is where adjusting voltage becomes important. Relying solely on the motherboard to manage auto-voltages often results in excessive voltage being applied, especially at higher frequencies, which can cause overheating. To address this, begin by applying negative offsets to help regulate temperatures and hopefully improve performance. Disabling power limits is also recommended if you're drawing significant current, as you might not be utilizing the full 50x boost. Keep an eye on VRM temperatures; if they exceed 100°C, consider adding a fan to the VRM area. For a 12600K chip, this should be fine unless you're using high-power components like the 12900K. Review cooler specifications carefully, as many focus mainly on one CPU type and may not fully reflect overall performance. The cooling solution itself matters too—designs that use cold plates can greatly affect efficiency, sometimes more so for certain CPUs. It’s possible a cooler will perform adequately across different platforms, but testing under real conditions is essential. So far, your adjustments haven’t caused any issues, but continue experimenting to see how it impacts performance.
