Question Cpu Power Limit On Prime B760

[pokerplaya]

Hey guys!
I've got an asus B760 D4 Prime MOBO, paired with an 12900k
(I know i know...) And I've tried to look for a way to limit my cpu power.
On another board (strix z690) I've got enforce all intel limits.
And i can't find something similar on my Prime mobo.
Maybe one of you got something? Thanks everyone ☺️

My setup -
I9 12900k
Gtx 1080 galax
Transcend 1tb nvme
Samsung 860 250Gb SSD
B760 D4 Prime.
Seasonic 650 bronze PSU.

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Include PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, used, refurbished)?

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

Done 🙂

As I understand your post the concern seems to be if the 650 Watt PSU will support the CPU and other components.

FYI:

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-psus,4229.html

First read the review to get a sense of things and then use some of the calculators to determine the applicable wattage for the build in question.

If a component presents a range of values use the high end value.

And, in any case - if needed, a well reviewed and quality PSU should be purchased.

A good quality PSU would be preferred versus trying to configure ways to limit CPU power.

What plans are being considered to limit CPU power?

Plus someday you may need remove any such limits and then you have to deal with an underpowered PSU.....

Hey buddy, thanks for trying to help!
I'll try to clarify.
My intention is limiting my CPU's power consumption because of the whole issue with Intel's latest generations (mostly 13 and 14) tendency to push performance (and stability )to the edge by letting the CPU to use as much power as possible.
MOBO companies rather than use Intel's limitations, let the cpu basically do whatever it wants.
I just wanted to make sure that Intel's limitations are being used,
Saving power and keeping as long of a life span as possible 😄

When you boot up into Windows, did you check to see what the turbo power limits are set to? If your motherboard supports a 12900K then it should automatically set the turbo power limits to the Intel default values. Try running ThrottleStop 9.6 to check these settings.

ThrottleStop 9.7.3 Download

ThrottleStop is a small application designed to monitor for and correct the three main types of CPU throttling that are being used on many lapto

If the BIOS does not have any options to set the turbo power limits, you can use ThrottleStop to set the turbo power limits to whatever values you like. Press the TPL button to open the Turbo Power Limits window. The Turbo Power Limits section shows what values the CPU is currently using. The Power Limit Controls section allows you to adjust the PL1 and PL2 power limit values as well as the turbo time limit value.

Thanks man!
I didn't check for that in the bios actually, I'm gonna, and I'll update in this post.
But anyways Throttle stop looks like a pretty good solution!
I know that companies like MSI GIGABYTE ASUS etc tend to prevent you from tinkering with setting like power draw in low tier MOBOS so you won't vause instability so I'll give this a shot, thanks again!
