Hi.

My cpu 9900K and Asus Prime Z390-A.



So....



Cinebench first run was always 2050 points, then next 1940 and third 1850. Then i wait some minute run again and is 2050 points agian. Its not temps issue,,because temps are always good.

My uefi all is stock,MCE DISABLED,Intel Turbo Enabled

But...





i enabled MCE and scores are 2150 consistent . So keeping MCE is not bad?:)



My cpu cooler is Noctua NH-D15
 
It’s just multi core enhancement.

It means all 8 cores will spin at the turbo boost speed. No harm in setting it at all if your temps are good.
 
So i have actually: MultiCoreEnhacement on ENABLED,INTEL TURBO ENABLED,XMP ON.

My cinebench scores are between 2120-2150 points. Also 3dmark physic time spy test consistent 40FPS always.

Long Duration Package Power Limit.................AUTO.
Package Power Time Windows........................AUTO
Short Duration Package Power Limit.................AUTO

Question. So keep this settings or change ?

On Assassin Creed Oddyssey in benchmark my average fps ,final score are fluctuatin between: 72-78FPS.
So is this game/driver issue or just i must change that settings in Xtreme tweaker or UEFI?
 
MCE is just an "easy OC" button. As long as temperatures are fine, your CPU will run at up to 4.7 GHz on all cores.


MCE is maxing out the power limits and as long as there is thermal headroom it is allowing all cores to boost to 5GHz.
2150 cinebench is 5GHz all core, not 4.7GHz

Op, it should be fine, however you may find that with some time and effort you can get the same all core 5GHz overclock at a lower voltage and temperature than the MCE settings. To do this you would need to overclock the CPU yourself rather than leaving the settings on auto.

Sorry you're right, got the single-core and all-core boost mixed up; the whole point of MCE is that it allows all cores to use the single core boost frequency!
