So I was trying to manually set a per-core OC on my 10920X on an X299 Micro (131-SX-E295-KR) running the latest BIOS 1.23 - and there's something REALLY WRONG with these boards...
So OK, not only did EVGA decide to label stuff Core 1 through Core 12 despite Intel, HWinfo, HWMonitor, and like literelaly everyone else using the nomenclature of "first core = Core 0" fine, whatever, I just have to "add 1" to modify the correct core, right? Annoying they broke with convention but shouldn't be that hard to work around, right? You'd think that...
So Intel Turbo Boost 3 reports that (their numbering) core 2 and core 10 are my best 2 cores.
Fine, I go into UEFI and to test, I set everything to a stock / safe 3.5Ghz, and then bumped core 10 (what EVGA calls Core 11) to 5.0 and added a little voltage (not bad, nice and low at 1.275V and 77C under max load). Cool. I can deal with this stupid numbering thing. So I go to work on Core 2 (what EVGA calls Core 3). I set that to 5.0 and the same voltage using the BIOS.
I boot into windows and run some Cinebench R20 and Prime95 (no AVX) to validate and huh, that's odd, I know I set Core 2 (EVGA's Core 3)... but it's showing ACTUAL INTEL CORE THREE as the one at 5.0??
So I'm curious, and I fire up E-LEET and what the actual... it's showing "Core 4" (EVGA nomenclature) as the one I set at 5.0?!?
I booted back into BIOS, double checked, yep, I did correctly set Core 2 (EVGA 3) not Core 3 (EVGA 4), so lemme get this straight, SOME of them are mis-named / mis-mapped, but not all? HOW DO YOU GET THIS SO WRONG EVGA? I'm going to test each one individually and report what it's set in BIOS vs what it shows up in actuality and update this thread, but this is really frustrating. Please fix this ASAP (in addition to the mess of OC BOT not recognizing 109?0X chips as being overclockable lol)...
