I am building a top end pc for my friend but it's been about 5-6 years since I build a pc and these new bios names and settings are a bit confusing. I followed a youtube video that go me most of the way there, I just did an AI overclock in the end and it's running stable although hot, but from what I read these newer cpus do run very hot (90c in Cinebench).

Anyway I cannot for the life of me find the vcore setting, even with AI overclock disabled. I even did a search in the bios and only found vcore monitor. I am happy with the AI overclock, although the first 3 cores go from 5.7ghz down to 5.2ghz almost instantly and stay there once it's put under any load?

I am trying to get the voltage down to get the temps down, I've used Intel Extreme Tuning Utility in windows and confirmed I can lower the vcore quite a bit without it crashing which helps a lot. It doesn't work very well though, as my profile doesn't apply and I have to set it manually every time, so I'd much rather set it in the bios and do away with ITU.
The video I watched said about using AI overclock and then he said he set an adaptive -700mV offset to lower the voltage, but didn't actually show how he did it or where these elusive setting(s) are. I am using the latest bios, the manual that come with the motherboard doesn't have any bios settings in it and the pdf one I downloaded shows vcore settings which apparently don't exist. :confused:

Any help is very much appreciated.
 
Thanks for the reply, that helped a lot. Amazing that new motherboards don't come with a manual for the bios and you have to download a pdf one. :cry:
 
Just use per core ratio of 53-53-52-52-51-51-51-51 for the p cores and 40 for the ecore, set the voltage to offset - mode and use 0.05v. I've found that's works on most cpus. Mine will do - 0.075 and can then be run on a single tower air cooler at only 92c.
