Hi!
Got a new 13600K, but I'm having some doubts tweaking it in order to reduce temps, I used to do override core voltage + LLC with my other CPUs, but I see that it has been mostly phased out in favor of adaptive and advanced offsets using the VF curve, something I'm completely new to.

In short:

Is there a way of setting a maximum frequency (let's say 5Ghz) and a top voltage for that given frequency (let's say 1.2V) like override, and then let the system downclock / downvolt at will when idle? Or it's just better to keep going with override and fixed frequency for that. Any cons other than marginally higher idle power draw?

Offset and adaptive used to (mostly) keep their "limits", but had some spikes during certain workloads (AVX, P95...) that just plainly ignored those voltage limits. And I've been looking at some recent guides, SkatterBencher videos and similar, but i'm pretty lost with all the options available regarding the VF curve.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Nothing is phased out. You do whatever works for you. How does it respond if you do core override with your llc adjustment? Just set sync all cores to 5ghz if that the max frequency you want and adjust voltage for max load if that’s what your getting at. If everything else is left on auto it should idle down still.

Like I said in the other thread, just put IA AC and DC Load Line on 0.01 and leave the voltage on Auto.

The way I understand it, that might help minimizing spikes, but if the VID is still too high there's some room with undervolting, isn't it?. Sorry if I'm messing things up, coming back from a 4+ year hiatus.

Also, I'm using the NH-U12S from my old build, if temps get too high would it be possible to limit the PL1 and PL2 to 90-100 and 125W with the 5Ghz top set? Or that would cause crashes / instabilities?

Lock all cores to fixed frequency and voltage. Use LLC that doesn't droop too much, that's it.

No, it will lower your CPU voltage under load. Just try it.

Wouldn't that keep both freuency and voltage locked even while idling? At least that's how my current 9600k behaves.

Voltage might stay at what you set in bios at idle but cpu speed should idle down. It will burn few more watts at idle but who cares about idle.

Why 5ghz? Default boost is 5.1..
I run mine at default 5.1 with 1.2 vcore fixed
