I encountered some problems with the chip before. Others on the forum recommended lowering the voltage, which I adjusted to around 1.475V. My power consumption dropped to about 325W. Now I’m wondering how to push the chip further without damaging it. Here’s the list of parts I’m using: CPU, cooler, motherboard, memory, storage, case, power supply, OS, and monitor.
Your scenario involves trying to improve performance without a dedicated graphics card. Initially, you should try boosting the integrated GPU (iGPU) settings. Later, you'll need to consider upgrading to a separate graphics card since overclocking alone isn't providing significant benefits anymore. Modern CPUs like AMD and Intel have pushed their processors to their limits, making large percentage improvements rare. The 13600K offers a decent boost in core speeds, but beyond certain thresholds—around 5.3 to 5.5 for all cores and 4.1 to 4.3GHz for E-cores—you're likely reaching the ceiling unless you have a high-end chip. You might experiment with per-core overclocking, but it won't make a noticeable difference in everyday tasks.
I'm just aiming to push it to the limit for the highest Cinebench score. It doesn't really matter to me now, but I'm curious how far I can take it. My current speeds are around 5.8 on the P core and 4.6 on the E cores, and I've noticed some solid improvements.
23000 is approximately what you're aiming for. It seems more related to thermal throttling than anything else.
The value seems inconsistent with typical performance expectations. It’s unclear if the numbers align with what a 13600K should achieve on the benchmark. You may still be experiencing thermal throttling, as those high overclock targets can push performance limits. To confirm the overclock’s validity, you could use tools like HWInfo64, OCCT, or similar software.
Execute HWInfo64 during the R23 pull and capture a log. Provide us with the log for easier sensor data review.
