Overclocking and Undervolting the new Core i9 13900k. Tools, Tips and Gameplay

[@kanpurjam]

Hi, just undervolted my new 13600k by 0.050v, everything is undercontrol now. Big thanks to you. Btw, i was running 100 Deg constantly.

[@ufopulse]

the seating of your cooler or cooler itself is woefully inadequate if you are running 100 deg constantly. Re-seat it immediately

[@Laxim19]

how were you able to launch the Intel XTU? I just installed it from Intels URL. and when i try to open it is says that unable to launch because i might have undervoltage protection disabled`?

[@Mateo-wf1yz]

@@Laxim19 Solved the problem! I think this is a Windows 11 issue. If one dont enable the undervolt protection in Bios the intel XTU program wont start. And if its enabled one cant set a lower voltage on the cpu core. However, its says on startup: Ensure you have latest bios, uppdated windows and have undervolt protection enabled in bios. OR, check the status of these incompatible OS features: - Core isolation is enabled, See windows security (link) for details. I will try disable the core isolation feature in win 11 (require restart) and then report back if it works. Yes, disabling Core isolation fixes this and Intel XTU program starts even if undervolt protection is disabled in bios. Just click the link in the popup when Intel XTU starts and complains, Link named "Windows security". It takes you to the Core isolation where you can enable/disable it. Its probably a reason its enabled though so after the lower core voltage is set and tested working you probably should set it back to Core isolation: Enabled. Hope this helps you all.

Dude, your channel is suprisingly impressive. I think you're gonna make it.

[@charlesbevitt6727]

How did you undervolt it? The Intel Extreme Tuning Utility won't load unless Undervolt Protection is turned on in bios, and that prevents setting the voltage offset to a negative number.

[@rawrj]

Back in the day XTU gave me some of the most unstable overclocks, I wish they'd add an LLC feature. Looks improved though.

[@MehdiH1976]

Would've like too see more details on setting-up the overclocking application and performance benchmarks with under-volting. Your video was extremely general and hard to understand. I would've been ok with an extra 10 minute of explanations and detailed guide on how to do the things you were trying to explain. 23 minute video that is informative is definitely worth the time to watch.

But ins"t that basically i7-13700k? I would rather like to see 102% perf. with 90% consumption. ITs power consumption in gaming is not no where near those crazy number from all core stress tests.

[@hokopl]

I would've to see full guide for undervolting. 13600k is a pig to keep your temps in order. I have 240 aio ( first I was thinking of getting dh15 ) and after 4 min of cinebench I was hitting 97 degrees!!! My power meter for the whole rig without monitor was showing crazy 335W!

[@jjlw2378]

@@hokopl What is your voltage set to in BIOS? Do you have HWINFO64 installed? Check your VCORE and check your VROUT when under load. Your Mobo is likely set to AUTO voltage and is pumping way too much of it for no reason.

[@hokopl]

@@jjlw2378 Yeah, thx for the tip. During the cinebench test is pumping on avg 1,36V but i have seen maximum at 1,4V. There is something wrong with default bios settings, maybe P1 and P2 states

@@jjlw2378 Nice one! Thanks a lot for the link and tip regarding the bios. There was indeed setting called "box cooler" and when I have changed it, cpu is now on 181w power limit and in cinebench I'm getting 87 degrees max which is a huge relief. But yeah, I will try to find stable clocks and undervolt the chip

[@Deltatwo3]

Instructions unclear.. not only is my PC and office on fire but they called the national guard because they detected radioactive activity at my address... Cores saw 10000MHz and then it started to melt into the floor... Kind of looks like an elephant foot ;) Haha great video! Thanks for the tips!

[@nnnscorpionnn]

I wonder what would be our CPUs like 10 years later from now. We are almost at 6Ghz barrier with newer CPUs without bad temps and stabilisation issues. When I bought my 6700k 6 or 7 years ago, 4 Ghz base clock was awsome thing and overclocking it to 5 Ghz or 5.2 Ghz was overkill. Nowadays CPUs support 5Ghz or 5.6 Ghz speeds as default with turboboost and if you have good cooling solution you can reach 5.8 or 6Ghz easily. Probobably we are going to use 6Ghz as default and we can overlock it to 7Ghz or more. That's amazing.

[@4gbmeans4gb61]

Just one NOTE, alot of the motherboard auto voltage stock settings pump 1.5 plus V into it causing massive heat. Alot have found manual OC nets LOWER temps and higher clocks.

[@robeytech]

Yeah we had all of the stock setting removed. Tbh the QL fans don’t help.

Undervolting is the way now since those chips are already almost pushed to its limits. I don't want want to render and be constantly thermal throttling.

[@4gbmeans4gb61]

Well when motherboards are pumping 1.5v with auto on, and you can get 6ghz manual OC with LESS its kinda obvious you shouldn't use some auto features.

[@SafetyHammer.]

I can see the cpu pulling 300watt power, under a stress test the cpu will throttle most likely.

[@ashryver3605]

this video helped a lot i haven't upgraded my computer since like 2012 aside from the gpu (i7 4790k beast!) and am going to be jumping up to a 13900k/s or maybe a 7950x3d (probably gonna stick with intel though) and all I've heard is "you need to underclock this, lower voltage that, 360mm+ All In One watercoolers only, these things reach 100c temp etc etc" and I'm like oh man... but that's just when running full cinebench/aida stuff on extreme max possible limit loads, and never anything about what full 4k/etc GAMING is gonna be like. i always thought undervolting would make it unstable if you went higher core clocks because there's less juice, but it seems like its not a factor at all. I'm confident that a nhd15s or h150i capellix will be just fine for a 13900k/s and a tiny bit of basic/compact overclocking like this.

[@sveinnsigururolafsson8314]

I have a 13900kf with a d15. Temps idle 30-34c , gaming (rdr2 f.e) 58c is the highest i have seen it. No undervolt or overclock. I live in a rather colder climate though. But personally i just dont see the point of running these extreme tests. I never use anything in real life that does that anyway.

[@rraudales]

I've always wanted to overclock my CPUs, but was always afraid to do it from the BIOS. Every time I looked at tutorials, it always seem so complicated. With this new Intel app that allows you to overclock from your desktop, it seems a lot more user-friendly. However; I do feel you gave just a quick presentation, and ran a bit fast explaining some of the main cores (no pint intended), on how the entire process is done. Overall well done. thank you

[@oktc68]

Really simple to overclock the 13600k in bios, all P cores at 5.5/5.6/5.7GHz with undervolt and sub 80°C temps (280mm AIO)Just three settings. In game temps will be 20°C lower than Cinebench temps. As long as you have sufficient cooling and quality components it's a lot of fun. Go up in small increments and well, I've never damaged an Intel CPU and my old ones are still going strong in various relatives PC's.

For all those wondering bout crashes when overclocking, there is ABSOLUTELY no rule that it has to work. I can run my CPU with 1,14V, 6Ghz on single core and 5.5 GHz allcore. If I want to go 5.6 allcore I need 1.32V. 5.7 GHz cant be reached even with 1.4V. Try to undervolt, its much more efficient.

Word of warning. This Intel OC app will cause your e cores to drop below 3ghz and p cores low too, even when turned off. I think it's doubling up clock rates with the bios settings or something. Atleast on my MSI z790 it's bugged like this. Uninstalled and speeds are locked and steady again.

How are you cooling your I9? I have the same processor, Cinebench R23 will cause an immediate jump to 100c for my I9-13900k (cooled with an EK 280m AIO). I was very surprised to see you ran Cinebench for 15 minutes with a peak temp in the low 90s.

[@ImKhione]

I have a Corsair h150i 360mm AIO and a 13700k and it would immediately spike to 100C during Cinebench, and it seems like my chip doesn’t care how many volts it’s getting it’s hitting 100C if it’s receiving the recommended 253W PL I had to cap it to 230.250W just to get temps below 90. Which is very frustrating because I’ve seen people say that they’ve only set a -.150 offset and have seen temps drop by 15C which just doesn’t happen for me. It feels like I got absolutely shafted by the silicone gods

Well, great video and well explained. Definitely recommended for "newbies". However, I don't think CPUID HW/Monitor is a sufficient program and I don't understand why you wouldn't use HWInfo, for example, which is definitely the better program and provides much (more important) information, especially when it comes to the "actual temperature" of the CPU and packages. Otherwise, the mainboard tool that shows the temperature is sufficient, but is usually a different or incorrect value that can differ by 10 degrees or more depending on the CPU, mainboard and clock speed. Also, Cinebench is a good tool that provides clues, but it is not a suitable and meaningful program in terms of stability for either UV or OC. For most gamers, this is certainly sufficient and will probably only cause BSODs or similar in very few cases. Proper UV and OC cannot be done in a few minutes, let alone with a few short tests, because with the 13th and 14th generation in particular, a lot more is required if you want a stable and perfect system. The XTU is well explained and easy to understand.

I don’t know what to do anymore for my cpu I have a 13700k and my cooler is a Corsair h150i 360mm AIO and under stock settings cinebench makes it hit 100C immediately. Ive undervolted a ton I believe right now my current voltage settings are 1.265 and an offset of -.145 and temps would still hit 95-97C. The only thing that has brought temps down was limiting the short turbo boost power limit and bringing it down to 230W instead of 253W brought temps down to 86-90C even with the maintained undervolt. Whereas I’ve seen people say just undervolting their cpu with an offset of -.150 has brought temps down 15C but it just doesn’t do that for me. I know it’s not because of a bad mount or a dead AIO because my idle temps are perfectly normal 36-40C and so are my temps while gaming I’ve never seen above 70C but something about running a 100% load makes it want to run super hot no matter what I do

I have a Rog Asus Helios, Asus Rog Maximus Z790 extreme, Asus 4090 Strix, Asus 2 360 Aio with a 1650 toughppwer supply, 32gb 7200 mhz ddr5. I did the AI over clocking from Asus Bios. But I feel like with the latest hardware I'm not getting enough. If I download the Intel IXM will that turn off the Asus Smart OC from the Bios.

[@Hyper_1989]

For some reason whenever I set a negative core voltage offset and click apply it just resets to the default value of 0.000v. Anyone know how to remedy this?

@Robeytech hi, i have the new i9 13900K and Z90-E and RX 5700XT can you help me with Overclocking???

[@NML1288-z9y]

i ran the cinebench and my max was 100c. im using the kraken z73 and 9 case fans. does this temp mean my cooling s not adequate??

[@robeytech]

Yes

[@TheMrKlassy]

How do you get a fixed frequency in game? I see some people playing hogwarts at 6ghz constant yet mine is always changing between 5.6-5.8ghz.

[@officialyashvirgaming]

Yo in my Z790 in the bios i've see a 6Ghz Instant profile, do i switch to that to BOOST my i9 13900k

[@TheMrKlassy]

@@officialyashvirgaming no idea, you can try it, wont hurt. I have z690 and only thing I did was turn limits off cpu.

I have as well the i913900K and I have a problem when i change the voltage with Intel extreme tuning to -0.04, and i press "Apply" the number switches to "undefined". How can i solve this problem?

Does it keep doing that?

nice video, but my intel xtu core voltage offset greyed out, please help

[@MascotR]

What was Ambient Temp? My 13900K is hitting TMax@100C at factory clocks on an Next X72 360mm 😭 ( ambient temp is 31C

[@MascotR]

So the Xtreme Tubing Utility isn't a stable software. Keeps crashing and very inconsistent performance. i tried the OCII on the Asus AI software and got better results. The 13900K is still a beast with power draw and temperatures and IMO and AIO won't keep temps down if you have high ambient temps above 30C.

Man I bought this Intel 13k I9 last year and I put it in the Asus Z 690e motherboard threw in my Asus 3070 that I already had. G skill ddr5 Ram and have had nothing but blue screens of death for a whole year. I have run every MIM test and got great results I've run every command prompt you can think of. As soon as I open Lightroom and start working on an image. It crashes and I get a blue screen with the watchdog. I even recently reinstalled windows. I've updated on my drivers I have tested all my hard drives I've tested the Ram with memtest I've tested tested tested and I don't know what the hell's causing this.

Cinebench is not a stress test, is a benchmark, if you pass cinebench you still are unstable in a ton of senario…

[@Hardwaretuned]

That’s completely false in every way. It’s one of the harder stress tests out there

[@teox85]

@@Hardwaretuned no, is not, is only a benchmark, you have no idea, but you are probably new in the pc world and youtube doesn’t help you, i understand. If you are stable in cinebench, you can crash in any video rendering, any video encoding, any 3d rendering, any games, you are just light work load stable, you have to test with occt small or prime 95 small, then you are probably 100% stable.

[@lukastemberger]

@@Hardwaretuned It does use up 100% of raw power of your cpu, but it's using an instruction set specific to its 3D renderer. There are many different instructions that software can use that can become unstable even if Cinebench is stable. Another point of view is - people who actually use Cinema 4D for their work would never overclock because stability is more important than a few % of speed when your work is on the line.

[@Chaos_Dave98]

@@teox85 my old 4790k(4,8ghz) instantly crashes on prime95, but for gaming and cinebench i never experienced a single crash in 2 years

[@imlove6533]

It's ranked number three of stress tests. Prime 95 being number one which is the ultimate stress test but also a type of stress that would never actually happen

[@sammy3828]

Hi I’m using a 13900KF.. what is the common/normal frequency of the OCed CPU? It shows to be 6000mhz… I tried to go up to 6200 but then my system keeps crashing (not at high temperature tho with AIO)… Wanna check my limit for OC thanks

[@chrisschneider850]

58. kf means no gpu on chip. its a bit cheaper and smidge cooler.

[@x-techgaming]

To "get the power out of it", you undervolt it, not overclock it

[@4gbmeans4gb61]

Have to with these because the stupid motherboards auto voltage pumps 1.4 to 1.5v. Manual OC can net lower voltage and higher clocks.

[@Bunderwahl]

How about a video on can 1300K be air-cooled, work some of that Robey magic!

[@Am3nd01m]

Awesome video! I will buy a 13900k and this video teached me how to OC it :) Thanks!

[@Anakin_Ackerman]

I think undervolting is probably better for the 13900k. If you just want to game I see no reason in overclocking the 13900k.
