Hi all, I just finished my build over the weekend. i7-13700k, 32 GB DDR5 RAM, ASROCK Z790 Pro Wifi MB
From watching a few youtube video channels, it seems that some motherboard manufactures automatically tries to push the CPUs to the max wattage to achieve optimal performance. Bios by default sets the CPU to an "overwattage" setting which then causes excessive heat.
Per Hardware Canucks, ASUS calls it "Multicore Enhancement." To prevent the CPU from pushing it to the max and pushing 100 C, in ASUS one needs change Multicore Enhancement fro 'Auto' to 'Disabled - Enforce All Limits'
On the ASROCK motherboard, where does one go into Bios to ensure the CPU watts do not exceed 13700k's max turbo power of 253W?
ASROCK bios is not clear. Is it "Base Frequency Boost" under "OC Tweaker" ? By default "Base Frequency Boost" is set to Auto. I have the option to choose 250W, is this the setting to prevent the BIOS from allowing the CPU to exceed 253W?
