Intel 12x00 series Alder lake

I ran Cinebench23 with 1.36v DRAM, SA 1.2, power limits off and XMP 1, moved from 22412 to 22689 score. Temps picked up on the cores as expected, averaging high 70s with max temp hitting 88.

Mid way through the bench I realized I could open up the front of the case :rolleyes: to get better air flow. I did that and temps dropped a few degrees. The CPU pump and fans are on a custom curve, they are balanced, not extreme and they could have been increased to drop the temps a bit more. Also, today we hit 39 degrees. I have the AC on but it was only enough to keep the room in a comfortable level. Couldn’t tell you ambient temps.





For now I'm going to revert it to XMP 2 with power limits off for testing purposes and see how it goes as I haven't spent any time on this to see how games perform.


Right now, the PC is sweet. Everything just runs silky smooth with RT enabled. Whether the $$$ for the upgrade was worth it…..well….who cares, you only live once. But yes, it was worth it.
 
CB23 is not going to test your IMC for you.

Play the games you crashed in. Stress tests are not a be-all-end-all for stability anymore, not since Comet Lake.
 
Yeah I know I just want to test gaming in XMP 2 as is since I haven’t done much gaming then move to XMP 1, test, see what up and then determine how to proceed from there. Then when a new BIOS come out I want to see if the volts have changed. I’ll then bump the memory back up for maximum performance.

Part of the learning curve.

Crashed in WD Legion using XMP II. Loads of people complaining on reddit and ASUS forums.

Looking at the boards compatible memory, my F4-3200C14D-16GTZR doesn't appear in there. I guess I'll need to wait for more memory support/BIOs update to come out for an official fix. Will up SA and DRAM voltage if issue persists.

The memory I use isn't on the list either. F4-3200C14D-16GFX says it's designed for AMD platforms. I have to use XMP1 when I force 1t command rate. This kit defaulted to 1T on AMD platforms.
 
lol Der Bauer clocks 12400 past 12600K for gaming. Apparently Asus apex and hero boards have a setting that unlocks non K proc overclocking.
