Things have changed a lot since my last build, especially in the overclocking department. Are there any guides straight to the point without a lot of rambling on history to stuff I could care less about? Seems like in this day and age that is a rare thing. Been using google to try and find out how to overclock my i9 10900kf on a Z490 board.
By ramblings I mean features that have nothing to do with overclocking, to Intel has no standard of some guy complaining for over twenty minutes or writing paragraphs on the subject. I get it, try to find the stock settings foe my i9 10900kf is like pulling teeth. Then every motherboard manufacturer is doing something different it seems. So I get their complaining but it’s not really necessary.

Do you have or are you looking at any boards in particular? They added a lot of new stuff but if you're wanting to do an all-core OC it's not too bad.

I have a MSI MPG Z490 GAMING CARBON WIFI 6, ATX, ARGB, found a guide for one of their higher tier boards, but this one in particular nothing.

Any guide for MSI should apply. For all-core OC mostly it just requires setting LLC and manual override voltage setting. For 10900k you could try a mid-level LLC and about like 1.35 or so for 51x multiplier and then adjust for stability.

Sadly the board I have is the gamer board, it can overclock, but if its a guide for one of their beefier boards things might go south mostly due to the vregs on the board.

Someone needs to make a evga board OCing for dummies and go into super detail.

I agree... always should be a guide for dummies....
on overclocking cpu .. but usually need popular motherboard
for that to happen..
10700, msi z590 mb ,16gig ram, 3070ti ftw3 ultra, win 10 , crucial m.2's

Does not matter. The same principles apply as you are overclocking the CPU, not the mother board. The mother board only facilitates the ability to overclock the CPU. The guides for the higher end MSI mother boards will still work for your board as the settings in the BIOS will be the same. The guides are only guides, not hard fast settings for your particular CPU/MB combo. A starting point as you will. Each CPU/situation is different, your mileage may vary :) Good luck on your over clock adventure!

sort of matters on this board those vregs. What I can get away with on one of their better motherboards in a higher tier/price bracket I cannot get away with this carbon gaming. I think i have narrowed down not hitting 5.2ghz turbo in this area of my bios but not sure what one. Been doing a lot of reading... Just would like to get a base settings put in, really hate auto. Then slowly overclock from there. Main concern is at least hit stock for right now since I got the PSU of doom out.

Figured it out, ok all motherboard manufacturers do what they want. The max potential thermal velocity max boost is 5.3ghz on my cpu. Intel Turbo boost 3.0 technology is 5.2ghz, then Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 technology is 5.1ghz”max I’m at after the bios update”.
From what I understand none of the z490’s or at least mine does not support 3.0. No motherboard manufacturer has any strict guidelines from Intel so they do what they want. My earlier bios I take it let my CPU stay at 5.2ghz and let it go to 5.3ghz. I’m sure after months passed the users cried about heat. Thus MSI nerfed the bios on stock settings. That is the only thing I can come up with or think of as the reason... thus my max of 5.1ghz. Does this sound right or am I crazy?
