What does 13900k instability look like

[smegle]

And Dcs after over an hours play. Any further thoughts?

show vcore and effective clocks. you've kinda expanded things not really that important. We don't know if the dc is setup properly yet.

Your core effective clocks show 5.5. This means whatever you were doing during that time windows hwinfo was open, maxed out the Pcores at 5.5.

Running r23

You’re basically running stock frequency there but pumping a lot of voltage.

Having your vcore shooting upto 1.5+ isn’t going to be good for chip longevity.

I’m not sure what advice you’re getting but you need to find your static vcore and llc first before messing with adaptive.

So hardset something like 55/43/49 and then start at 1.25v llc6 and work the voltages down increments of 10mv (0.010v) until unstable. Then you got a baseline to start from.

Thanks for the reply: Advice I got was following the guide I posted earlier on in this post - this one:

Asus Maximus Z790 and Intel i9-13900k/14900k - An...

Can you explain the 55/43/49 a bit more please and also with the voltages do you suggest using the voltage offset to put a negative in?

I did notice from the beginning that this chip seems to want a higher vcore than that quoted in the guide

Your uncore ratio is hitting 5.5 also. Follow that guide from the very start where it explains to set everything stock and set LLC 4, DC LL 1.02, AC LL 0.2. I remove all limits but you can enforce if you want. Increase short duration and long duration power limits etc. Run cinebench and look at the max V Core under load. Now go and start reducing AC LL from 0.2 to 0.18 and test. If you pass without issues drop it down to 0.16 and test again. Keep doing this until you find an instability then increase the AC LL from whatever it is at when instability is found to 2 above.

If you can show a screenshot again of HWINFO.

Did you set your Uncore ratio at 55 or did you leave it auto? Set it at 45 for now until the voltage is under control. That isn’t helping.

Cheers - I did this to start with - did the guide to the letter. Could only get ac ll stability at 0.24. It’d pass r23 but failed on geekbench at 0.22.
A few said geekbench shouldn’t be an issue when reducing ac ll so am I missing something?

I’ll reset everything to standard and try again. Will post the monitoring also - bit late tonight

55x Pcore
43x Ecore
49x Ring/Cache

Hard set those in the bios. Then run fixed/static vcore and LLC6.

You need to know what your chip is stable at before messing around with V/F curves and offsets. His guide is way too complex and I'd personally never recommend it to anyone but each his own.

Thanks

So put all back to standard with the very warm temps below! Then applied llc4, 1.02 dcll and initially 0.20acll but had to bump up to 0.22 acll to get stable.



Here’s mine at 0.22 stable. Vcore has come down a lot.


What would your advice be on next steps and really appreciate the help!

Thanks mate.
It’s set to auto and here’s the cooler and predict chip performance.
