Story:
I’m not an experienced overclocker. I’ve spent this entire day reading on the internet & watching a bunch of videos and tutorials on overclocking and some videos that specifically show overclocking on an i7-11700K but I’m not really getting the results as expected on my new i7-11700K after testing and playing around with different settings now that the day is coming to an end and I’m quite confused with some settings in the BIOS, specially when different motherboard brands don’t have the same name for all settings. I would really appreciate any kind of help here to give this processor a better overclock and so that I hopefully can learn as well as understand more about overclocking! Thank you.
Current BIOS Settings:

Quick Info:
The GPU is overclocked.
The RAM settings have not been touched.
The RAM sticks are running at around 2700MHz and not the 4000MHz which the XMP Profile 1 sets.
The voltages don’t matter for me right now as long as the CPU doesn’t run way too hot. When I’m satisfied with the overclocking performance of the CPU I’ll reduce and tweak the voltages, performing stress tests to hit a sweet spot.
I’m no longer able to change the Turbo Ratio numbers for each core with the current BIOS settings.
With the BIOS settings that I have right now the core clock seems to be stuck at 4.9Ghz.
Running a test using Userbenchmarks, there’s not really an increasement in “Bench” for the CPU with the current BIOS settings compared to the default settings.
Specs:
Intel Core i7-11700K
Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060
Corsair RM850X 850W
G.Skill Ballistix 4x32GB (128GB)
Gigabyte Z590 UD AC
3 x M.2 NVME Drives
1 x SATA SSD Drive
1 x SATA HDD Drive
