Reduced turbo speeds for P-Cores during Cinebench R23 on an Intel i7-13700KF processor
Reduced turbo speeds for P-Cores during Cinebench R23 on an Intel i7-13700KF processor
Oh, okay didn't know that either... I tried multiple things, followed some guides and played with voltages (adaptive, static, etc...). But it seems that, the Power goes up to 253W, which means power limited. Intel does not recommend anything above this power value for this processor. The maximum frequency I achieved is 5088Mhz for the p-cores and 4000Mhz for the e-cores, giving me roughly 26000 Points in Cinebench (which is low compared to the 31000 which is the expected).
Have you attempted to use ThrottleStop to lower your CPU voltage? This method helps cut energy use, allowing your CPU to perform Cinebench at maximum performance while staying below the 253W turbo threshold.
Yes, this matches what you've attempted. It appears the voltage reduction on the CPU remains active, even with the 0x104 microcode version... Please let me know if you need further help. Thank you for your patience.
Show a screenshot of the FIVR window. Reduce both core and P cache voltages. Avoid using ThrottleStop when Windows core isolation memory integrity is active. For best protection and CPU health, stick to the latest BIOS and skip undervolting entirely.
In summary, B760 motherboards generally don’t allow undervolting or overclocking. If you’re considering a 13-14 generation Intel CPU due to its power needs, I recommend opting for a Z-series board to explore performance improvements via undervolting. Thanks for your guidance, @unclewebb—your advice is appreciated. I’ll stick with the latest microcode (0x129) to ensure safety and security as you suggested.
