Question Overclocking 14700k ?

[SydneyAngel]

Is it possible to overclock this chip successful and keep temp tame ? I havent found any guides on this chip and motherboard combo. Is AI overclocking Viable ?

A lot of the issue with these chips was too aggressive a voltage. The fix actually involved pulling back from that. I wouldn't.

Is disabling C1states ok so the clocks dont drop to 800mhz

Perhaps someone with more specific knowledge can answer that aspect for you.

Not really worth it IMHO , could cause higher power usage and actually genenerate more heat.

disabling C1states

Intel recommends enabling C1E in the BIOS. It is debatable whether disabling C1E was responsible for any of the 13th and 14th Gen stability issues.

overclock this chip

There is not much to be gained overclocking a 14700K. You might only see a 5% or less increase in MHz and an even smaller gain in any real world performance. Overclocking is hardly worth it anymore. The old days of a 30% performance boost by overclocking are long gone.

The best way to maximize the performance of a 14th Gen CPU is by adjusting the turbo power limits and voltage to avoid any thermal throttling or power limit throttling.

Agree with others, don't even bother. Its already one of last generation's best chips for all around use.

Chips these days are binned and the better chips are used in higher priced versions like the 14900K
Yes, you can overclock.
The chips self regulate to keep temperatures less than 100c.

But, to what end?
Bragging rights, perhaps.
Benchmarks, perhaps.
Meaningful performance increase, not likely.

The downside?
Inadvertent mistake with voltage causing irreparable damage.

Intel has already overclocked them to the maximum "optimal?" clocks rates. The very common way to overclock these type of chips were to just set p1/p2 to unlimited power and let the chip thermal limit. This will let it boost the clocks to the maximum. You will get better benchmark scores but it will use massive amounts more power and produce a lot more heat.

It seems intel pick the point for their default power settings that were just at the point that the cpu started to use massively more power for very little increase in the performance.

They used to say it was safe to run these cpu at the thermal throttle limit all the time. After they got the failures they started to say to run it at the intel power limits. This was before they figured out it was a different setting that was destroying the chips and fixed it in bios. They never went back to saying you can run them with no power limits.

In real world use cases it is hard to really tell the difference between a overclocked cpu and one that is running at intel recommended values.

Is that what this is about? It sounds like you don't want idling cores to go to sleep; if a core(s) isn't doing anything, there's no real need for it to be running at high clocks all the time. That's wasting energy for no real gain, due to how fast the cores wake/sleep.
