Avoid the file you mentioned. Retrieve HWInfo, set it to sensors-only mode, locate the button in the bottom-right labeled "start logging," press it, execute Cinebench, pause it to stop logging, then submit the log file. It should be a CSV if done properly.
Yeah, that's exactly what you're aiming for. You need to maintain the chip temperature below 100°C to avoid thermal throttling. At 5.8GHz you're likely running at the BIOS-set ratio, but when under load it drops to 4GHz. You should also lower the voltage usage. It seems you're attempting LLC Level 1 or 2 with a 1.5V configuration in BIOS—which is probably too high for these components. If your chip supports 5.8GHz at R23, Level 4 LLC (or possibly Level 5) should work best, achieving maximum switching speed with a voltage of 1.4-1.45V (or 1.3V if needed). Your voltage settings need adjustment, and a bit of VDroop is beneficial; it aids voltage regulation on the motherboard. Currently you might be seeing around 1.5V, but frequent dips to 1.3V or lower at 5.8GHz could compromise stability. Increasing VDroop can help maintain steadier performance.
Load Line Calibration influences how much voltage decreases when the CPU operates under stress. Without LLC protection, the average voltage can shift significantly—from around 1.4V during idle to about 1.1V under full load in tests like Cinebench. For those interested in the technical side: the behavior stems from how buck converters function, adjusting output based on current draw. The voltage regulator attempts to counteract this drop by considering the power plane resistance. Adjusting this calibration involves modifying the load line, which determines the resistive values used in the calculation. BIOS settings allow this adjustment; typically, you’ll find an option near VCore LLC in the overclocking menu. Setting it to 5 is common, though higher values (like 5) are recommended for performance. If you need further clarity, refer to the recommended video for a practical walkthrough using an oscilloscope.
Updated the LLC setting but any crashes still occur at 1.45V—consider checking connections or adjusting voltage settings.
Your chip probably won't handle 5.8GHz, especially with the cooling you're applying. Reduce it to 5.7GHz and 4.5GHz on the E cores and see if it works again.
I increased the voltage and everything functioned properly. I'm currently conducting stress tests.
Are you really keeping those frequencies steady? Simply increasing voltage will only raise the CPU temperature further, likely causing it to throttle more aggressively. Your overclocking setup doesn’t match the cooling capabilities of a 13600K build—consider a more common approach for a 5.4GHz P-core setup, maybe pair it with an undervolt adjustment. This could lead to a much smoother and cooler experience because you’ll consume far less power.
Bro was really powering up to 650w, you know Bob in real life 😂
