You can adjust CPU V-core compensation via BIOS settings on your ASUS motherboard.
Looking for the correct CPU V Core setting on your Asus TUF gaming B660M-E. I tried BIOS → Advanced Settings but couldn't locate the option. I see entries like CPU Load Line Calibration or LLC, but not the exact "CPU V Core Compensation" setting. Since I know these two are related, maybe they’re interchangeable. For your i5 12400 with stock cooler and low Cinebench R23 score, changing it to auto level 5 might help. Check your motherboard manual or forums for the exact steps. Some users changed it there and saw improvement.
Level 5 seems to refer to an LLC configuration. Considering its role in influencing core voltage under heavy CPU use, "V Core Compensation" likely refers to a misinterpreted or mistranslated term. It’s possible it was a poor translation or omitted the acronym entirely. Yes, it probably points to the CPU Load Line Calibration setting they wish to adjust.
