Hi everyone!
I recently started exploring overclocking (so late to the party). I bought the i5-11600K. Used XTU because i'm brand new. Was able to get the OC to 4.98ghz, temps under 89c (using an AIO), my multiplier is at 50x, static v at 1.375, Stressed for 4hours, saw a few voltage spikes max 1.4v. I have little idea what the other settings are in INTEL XTU. Did crash the system once, (looked like low voltage, changed the settings in the BIOS), restarted and got stability. I did see the wattage consumption go to 170! I know these are power hungry chips, but daymn.
In anyones experience, do you think I can tune the system more with a lower Voltage? Or leave it alone?
Also, I see a lot of guides for RAM tuning, I keep hearing mixed performance improvements? XTU are around 3000. Is this good? Should I do more?
Thanks everyone, happy to be here.
