Hey, I saw your setup—XTU with an i7 13700KF and Gigabyte B760 DS3H DDR4. It’s frustrating when the speed optimizer keeps dropping out. Could you share what you’ve tried so far? Sometimes a fresh approach or checking BIOS updates helps.

The Deceived Motherboards with B760 chipset cannot be overclocked or have speed adjustments applied. A unlocked K series CPU becomes restricted once installed on a B760 board, which could explain the failure of Speed Optimizer. Consider manually tweaking the PL1 and PL2 turbo power settings in the BIOS for better full-load performance and cooling. Some boards feature a BIOS option that sets both limits to the maximum value, 4095. You can monitor current usage with HWiNFO. Changing the turbo limits is the most effective method to boost performance when a CPU is locked.

Ensure you don't push components beyond their limits. The improvement is minimal and lifespan decreases significantly for the benefit. If you must overclock, rely on manual settings rather than automatic ones, as they tend to be less reliable.

Thanks for the details, really appreciated! @Sawa Takahashi I understand, but I’m completely new to overclocking, so I thought the auto setting would be the best choice. I just don’t want to mess things up by doing it myself.

Replace your B board with a minimum Z690 model. B boards aren't meant for overclocking. Focus on adjusting the multiplier and voltage instead. You can't change the multipliers on a B series chipset, which would cause issues.

I get your point but I still believe in my first idea. Just avoid overclocking—it's not worth it. It's similar to buying a car and then making all the modifications yourself, like suspension, rudders, a bigger engine, big wheels, and extra paint. If you're going to need performance gains from overclocking, you should have invested in better parts that match or exceed it without needing to overclock. That's just my take.
