Hi .
I've OC'd my 11900K - AsusRog Z590E, like this :
  • Intel Adaptive Boost Technology to Disabled
  • AI Overclock Tuner to XMP I
  • Asus MultiCore Enhancement to Enabled – Remove All Limits
  • CPU Core Ratio to AI Optimized
    • Set Overclocking TVB to +1Boost Profile.
    • Set Package Temperature Threshold to 85
    • Set Regulate Temperature Threshold to Enabled
    • Q-Fan Configuration to Turbo and pumps to full speed
The Issue that I experience is that the Vcore voltages fluctuates when I put some load like gaming around 1,294v-1,403v I I get a spike in game every 2 minutes when the voltage fluctuates from High to low or low to high, in idle non load just doing nothing jumps up to 1,625v .... The OC is stable Tested in Prime 95 and cinebench . I am using this OC for about 4 years but since last Bios update I experience this spikes in games .... I tried to tweek a bit the LLC changed to lvl 5 to lower a bit the voltage, in Prime 95 passed the stress tests, when I was gaming the spikes was gone but it crashed after 30 minutes. I lowered to LLC lvl 3 but it pulls to mutch voltage fluctuates around 1.43 and 1.55 in games.
Can someone help me fix this spikes please or give some advice ?

I've done that rolled back to an older version reset CMOS.... now is back to the last update.... I think the issue comes from Intel ME that cannot be rolled back.
