Hi everyone--first time poster here but of course long time lurker.
I have a little experience overclocking for years with a 3570k on a Asus P8Z77 mobo. A few days ago I upgraded my system to a 10700k and Asus Z490-E mobo. My question related to the best way to optimize voltage and cooling on these newer Z490 boards. My previous overclocking situation with the 3570k was great -- I had a 4.6ghz OC at just 1.19v, and I could get stable 4.7ghz with 1.28v. Since the jump was a lot of extra voltage, I usually ran at the 4.5ghz setting. I delidded the CPU, so my temps with Prime95 small FFT and at 1.19v were in the mid 60s. At 1.28v they were mid 70s. I'm using the ID Cooling SE 224 XT air cooler which worked really well with my delidded 3570k. I was nowhere near dangerous temps.
Now with this new setup (10700k) I still have the air cooler, and I figured I would just run it at stock and keep the turbo on, and my temps would be fine (no OC). Well, they are fine for normal use (maybe gets up to high 70s when gaming), but if I stress test at all it goes up to 96 degrees C (Prime small FFT) so I shut the test down immediately. THis is without OC! I did see in the BIOS there are some features where the mobo is managing the voltage in ways that might be overkill. I turned off MCE and set the limit to reflect stock Intel before doing this stress test with p95.
Should I just try manually setting the clock multiplier and setting the voltage setting myself? I think this thing could run a lot less hotter than it is on stock turbo settings.
Thanks for any input! I've been using technology thats 10 years old for OCing, so all the later generation stuff is new to me.
