Hello fellow over clockers, I just built a new PC and I have spent the past several days dialing in a nice overclock on this 13600K.
Its a sync all cores overclock with the E cores disabled. I finished the overclock on the cores and was moving on to the Cache now, it was still at its default value of 4500 MHz.
In the BIOS, there are settings for max and min cache ratio, changing these to something greater than the default of 45, does nothing.
The Cache simply stays at the default speed of 4500 MHz.
I downloaded the Intel Extreme Utility (I did not use this for overclocking just wondered if it would show me something that I was missing), and noticed this:

The default value is still 45, the Min / Max seems to be adjusting the active / proposed? I can go lower than 45 and the speed will change accordingly, but anything greater than the default, will not. The speed will just stay at 4500 MHz.
I have spent a decent amount of time in the BIOS and I cant seem to find anything that I am missing?
I do have some experience overclocking, but I am definitely not an expert or anything. My current rig has an 8700K that I overclocked and has been my daily driver for 4 or 5 years running at 5 GHz. That build also uses an Asus Motherboard and I did not run into this problem. I was able to adjust the Cache multiplier and it worked.
I have gone into the BIOS for that build to compare settings and again, I cannot find anything that I am missing.
Its not the end of the world if I cannot figure this out since the core clock is dialed in already, but it would be nice if I could adjust the cache as well.
Any Help / Ideas are appreciated, also I apologize in advance if this is the wrong area for this thread, this is my first post basically on this forum.
thanks!
