Hi all,

I had a gigabyte z690 ud ddr4 when I first built this pc and I could reach 24-24.5k on cb r23. All it took was enabling MCE. This was on noctua air too.

I recently changed to ASUS TUF Gaming and it doesn't go over 23k. I am using a AIO now too and temps don't go over 65 when benching. Have tried MCE on and it only goes up to 23300, nowhere near my old score.

What do?

That doesn't help much in telling us what you're working with, since an initial search of that italicized term yields a page for a range of laptops under Asus. So if you will, what are the specs to your build and what have you changed out? We should be seeing a before and after specs to your build, mind you.

That can be just the difference in the BIOS on the boards.
Some will allow more power and a longer/bit higher boost.

EDIT don't read to much into synthetic benchmarks.

Thank you. I guess I was wondering if there was a guide for me to change values etc.

I'm well versed in dram OC but a noob on the CPU OC front.

Hey,

Sorry I thought I had alluded to that as I did have a z690 gigabyte. My bad I should be more specific.
