MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Edge WiFi ATX bios version 7C79v11 maintains stable performance without overclocking the CPU. Voltage adjustments persist, but CPU ratios remain unchanged. The 10700k CPU operates within a stock range of 4.7 to 4.8 with a full 5.0 all-core overclock (ring ratio at 4.8) and C States turned off. Windows power settings are set to Ultimate to lock the frequency, yet cores can reach up to 5.0 for a brief 5 seconds during boot before settling back to 4.7. No throttling occurs. Voltage and temperatures remain consistent. I filed a support ticket with MSI and consider upgrading my board if needed. So far, I haven’t detected any missed issues from the overclock.

I discovered the issue! The MSI One Dragon Center "performance settings" were interfering with BIOS configurations. I turned them off, restarted, and it worked perfectly. Then I realized software was altering the ratio in Windows Event Viewer. It recorded One Dragon overwriting something, which made me think it might be the cause. Exactly what I expected.

For your interest, what voltage levels are involved and what type of cooler is being used? It might be wise to reinstall the BIOS with the current version, as it's the most recent.

Voltages reach their peak around 1.25 when the board is managed. I adjusted to 1.3 to try achieving 5ghz in the bios. Intel Extreme tuning tool increases the spike to 1.412 at 5.1ghz. The cooler is a Kraken X73 with a 360mm air cooler. Maximum temperatures stay at 72 under intense gaming at 5.1ghz. With Intel tuning, I reached 83C using AVX instructions at 5.1ghz. I re-flashed the bios but it still behaves the same. It's really strange.

Later, I realized software was altering the ratio in Windows Event Viewer, logging One Dragon overwriting data—probably the cause. Exactly! Now I'm running a stable 5ghz. My max voltage is 1.325v, and one core reaches 75°C during Cinebench R20, while others stay cooler. Cheers.
