I currently possess an i5-14600K CPU on a MSI PRO-Z690-A DDR4 motherboard.
CEP is turned off in the BIOS. I reviewed the "Performance Limit Reasons" in the HWInfo panel and observed that Ring Limit and GT Limit remain mostly active, which should be due to power-saving features that deactivate them when not in use.
I’ve seen IA: Electrical Design Point/Other (ICCmax, PL4, SVID, DDR RAPL) consistently showing as YES during active usage in Cinebench or games, and it stays on throughout.
The ICCmax value in the BIOS matches the recommended default of 200A.
According to HWInfo data, it doesn’t even approach that level, suggesting this isn’t the main cause. The same applies to power consumption.
Could there be another factor I’m overlooking? I’m wondering if I might be unintentionally restricting performance.
I’m running CPU Lite Load at 9, possibly indicating a voltage constraint issue?
This is my HWInfo profile, initially set up with a Cinebench test (which explains the higher average results).
