Overclocking the Z590 Motherboards

PCH VCCIN is 1.8V on my XIII Hero and you can't change it. HWiNFO isn't working too well with Win 11.

That's odd. I haven't had a single issue with Hwinfo64 on Windows 11. What problems are you having?

I'd be interested in what you find. I thought it only applied to the recommended voltages you need for achieving the OC frequency of your choice - the better the cooling the more overclocking headroom.

BTW, I has mine set to"more inclided to update" and the cooling score varied quite a bit depending on the load you have been running and how aggressive you have set fans/pump.

You may be right, I haven't seen any change in temps so far but I'm still tweaking memory.

HWiNFO can't read the BCLK of 10th Gen Intel CPU's in Win 11 if Core Isolation is enabled. It can with 11 Gen. Some changes MS made to Core Isolation.

Hi,
Maybe you need to go full manual or activate extreme ocing in bios first

That setting on x299/ x99 can help get more performance to, it also brings the heat lol
Maybe @doorules noticed it too ?

Pretty sure VCCIN is locked permanently but I'll look into it.

Ahh. I have that disabled because it is incompatible with some caching software I use. Thnks
