i9 12900k temps

Just a quick update. I changed the vcore to 1.25 and the temps are staying under 70c but it’s impacted my cinebench score from around 26k to 12k. Do I just keep increasing the vcore until I get the right balance?
 
The only adjustment I’ve made in the bios are as follows:
CPU core/cache voltage - manual mode
CPU core voltage override - 1.25000

am I missing another setting adjustment?
 
you definitely need to manage the voltage manually, the boosting algorithm may be messed up when you only put in a manual voltage, i'd try setting the CPU overclock manually as well, start at 4.9 all core, 3.9 e core to start with and see what happens with temps and performance.

Thanks. I will try that

Sorry for the stupid question but how do I set the cpu speeds?
 
It might be easier following a video for undervolting if you're new to this.

Here's an example on an ASUS motherboard, the settings you need to change should be the same or similar across the board though.

I tried that but I don’t have the adaptive setting only auto, Manuel and offset
 
That's probably why then. I believe you need a z690 board to gain full control of the voltage.

You might have to revert to the offset mode and see how far you can reduce it without losing performance. I think you said a -0.05 offet worked fine?

Yes you can manually set voltage on these boards. Set LLC in digi vrm to 4 or 6, set current capability to 140%. When running a benchmark have core temp and cpuz open so you can check if its downclocking. So if its set at 4900hz does it remain there throughout. while you are testing and trouble shooting disable C-states in the advanced cpu tab and when in windows go to control panel type power options and select the performance tab instead of balanced tis will run everything at full so worse case scenario. you can change back after. out of curiosity what clocks are you running and at what voltage and what was your power draw??

I just set the offset to 0.07 and it’s drawing 254w and vcore is 1.305. I will do the adjustment you suggested and see
