Overclocking the Z590 Motherboards

For overclocking, Asus recommends LLC4.

I've always used LLC6 on overclocking on both my Apex XI and now my Apex XIII

You'll see Asus recommend LLC 4 on the new Z590 motherboards. Why exactly could be a very long conversation.

As I said Mike a higher LLC means a tighter CPU Vdroop resulting in a higher sustained CPU voltage. I believe the trick is to find the lowest stable voltage with Vdroop. This will reduce the core temps like you are looking to do... I suggest you try:

SVID = trained and LLC4
CPU voltage = either AUTO or Adaptive (both on AUTO)

Did you run your GPU on stock clocks in 3D Mark? Is it still giving hardware errors?

My cpu is on manual ....I would never use auto. I've played with Adaptive on this board. Used Adaptive on my Apex XI thou.
If I run my GPU on stock settings I never get any hardware errors ...only happens when I oc heavy...
Again Matt I've always used LLC6 .....not going to change .....I might try it for kicks just to see results.
My temps right now are in low 30's ....but not doing anything.. LoL

BTW Mike look for this in the BIOS: "Package Temperature Threshold" You should set that to 90 and then "Regulate frequency above threshold" enabled. This will prevent your CPU breaching 90C!!!

Also in Extreme Tweaker/Thermal Velocity Boost set V-Max Stress to Enabled. This will prevent the motherboard from supplying the CPU voltage over 1.5V.

You can do LLC 4 and see your temps go down. There's lot's to learn about Z590 Mike.

You temp B settings are way to low for me ....very mild settings ...

bty .... Good morning Matt

Well its Morning here....

@Kol12
Just changed these to SVID = trained and LLC4 and will test these settings soon Matt

Morning Mike. It's about the opposite here, 11:05 PM and bed time.

You should put CPU voltage on auto while testing this. After that you can use offsets with the V/F Curve to lower voltage...

What voltage have you been using with your manual Vcore?
