Hello,

I have a system with these specs:

Intel core i5 14600k
NZXT Kraken x63 (4x140mm fans push-pull)
Asrock B760m pro rs/d4 (Latest Bios Microcode 0x12B)
G skill ripjaws 32gb@3200mhz (4x8gb)
Seasonic focus gx atx 3.0 850w
RTX 3060ti

All bios settings are on default, except IA VR Voltage Limit set at 1.4

Everything is stable and i get a multi core score in Cinebench R23 of 24130 and with a 10min run i get max temps of 77 °C

I would like to know if i would be able to undervolt my cpu with this motherboard and which way is the correct one?

Thanks in advance

Afaik, all motherboards can undervolt.

which way is the correct one?
For a more trial-until-error method you can download Intel XTU and undervolt from there so you don't have to reboot your system to change the offset each time. After you find a stable offset you can uninstall XTU and go into the bios to apply the offset there (you can just set XTU to launch on startup and apply the offset, but I like to avoid programs doing that).

Why do you think you need to mess with undervolting?
The thing is that since 2017 i had ryzen systems and undervolting always seemed to improve thermals, power consumption and gave a little bit of performance, both on cpu and gpu.
But i'm not that experienced with the latest intel generations that's why i asked.
I built this pc with an i5 12400 two months ago and some days ago i upgraded to 14600k but i cannot find the correct way to do it because of CEP and other factors.
Is it not worth it? :D
