Hello,
I've applied an OC to my 11900K - AsusRog Z590E, like this:
Intel Adaptive Boost Technology disabled
AI Overclock Tuner set to XMP I
Asus MultiCore Enhancement activated – all limits removed
CPU Core Ratio optimized for AI
Adjust Overclocking TVB to +1Boost profile
Set package temperature threshold to 85
Enable regulate temperature threshold
Q-Fan mode set to Turbo, fans running at full speed
The problem I face is that the Vcore voltages change when I apply load, such as during gaming (around 1,294v-1,403v). I notice a spike in the game every two minutes when the voltage shifts from high to low or vice versa. In idle with no load, nothing rises to 1,625v.
The OC has been stable after testing in Prime95 and Cinebench. I've used this configuration for about four years, but since the latest BIOS update, I'm experiencing these spikes again. I adjusted the LLC level to 5 to reduce voltage, and it passed stress tests in Prime95. However, during gaming it crashed after 30 minutes. I lowered it back to LLC level 3, but now the voltage fluctuates around 1.43 and 1.55 during games.
Could someone assist me in resolving these spikes or offer advice?

I've reverted to a previous version, which reset the CMOS... now it's back to the most recent update. It seems the problem is linked to Intel ME and can't be fixed by rolling back.
