Hi
Got my new rig going:
CPU: i5-13600k (5.1ghz)
Motherboard: Asus Z790-I Gaming Wifi
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws S5 DDR5 6400MHz 2x16GB (XMP enabled)
GFX: RTX 4070
I really want low noise (and heat)
So I'm looking into simple CPU undervolting etc.
And I don't mind losing a bit of performance, so I figured also lowering the multi a few steps is fine
I started with XTU, climbed the voltage offset and right now I'm at this:
That changed everything.
The computer is much much more cool and silent overall now, but plenty powerful for my use.
Cinebench gives a score of 21.150 (multi) and 1.750 (single) and maxes out at 80c temp
This seems good enough for me
But I prefer to use BIOS instead of XTU
So I reset XTU and uninstall it. and go into bios.
I set the CPU to Sync All Cores and set the ratio to 47
A bit confused about how to set the undervolt, but I figured it must be the CPU L2 voltage?
I keep it at adaptive, set it to offset - and I put in 0.050 (let's start with that and see)
Then I reboot, and test with cinebench.
Boom the temps go up to 94c quickly.
I stop it right away and reset default in bios again
Hmm now what?
Can someone help me how to achieve the XTU result, but with BIOS tweaking?
Thank you
