B760-i Gaming Wifi Temperature high due to intel CEP default setting

fritsch
Level 8

4 weeks ago

Hi,
after I installed my 14600K with B760i Strix Gaming Wifi I realized that the temperatures with Automatic settings get very high until the CPU throttles. I even bought a new cooler, cause I thought my equipment is the problem.

After trying certain things like setting custom Load Levels in the bios I realized that the CEP setting causes AC and DC Loadline Levels of 1.7 - which is the upper edge of the intel spec - this will produce a high voltage and with that the temperature increases heavily.

After disabling CEP and choosing e.g. LLC Level Auto, which results in Level3 on my system, the AC LoadLine goes down to 0.3 (verified with HWInfo) - this results in 15 or more degrees colder CPU and no throtteling at all, with full performance (Cinebench R23) ~ 23500 point, pretty normal system no overclocking. To  not run into potential overvoltage issues I set the max IAC Voltage to 1.45 Volts, just to be on safe side.

Key question:
Is there a reason ASUS by default would overrule all board specific Loadline values when CEP is enabled and set a very high value of 1.7 for the AC Loadline? It's for sure not in the interest of ASUS to have defaults that would basically cook the CPU, right?

Hello @fritsch 

Thank you for reaching out to us.

May I kindly ask which BIOS version you are currently using? After clearing CMOS and running the system under default BIOS settings, do you still encounter high CPU temperatures under heavy load?
To help us better understand and verify the situation with our backend team, kindly confirm the following details:
- images of the BIOS main page, along with any manual configuration settings you may have applied
If possible, please also share the BIOS settings file in .CMO format to allow us to replicate the configuration directly.
- the brand, model, and installation slots or ports of all key components, including GPU, RAM (please include part number), SSD/HDD, PSU, and CPU cooler
- OS version and build, HWInfo version, as well as the names and versions of  any testing utilities used
- a video recording that documents the setup and results, including the physical hardware setup, BIOS access after clearing CMOS, Enabling CEP only, then confirming the AC/DC Loadline values, CPU temperature, frequency, and power consumption behavior under stress testing

Thank you.

I am on Version 1820 - I used the HW Pin to get the CMOS cleared when adding the new CPU. I always loaded default settings never the less. I will post all the missing details (screenshots / CMO files) later on.

For the time being, here is the complete build:
Complete Build:
CPU Cooler: Noctua U12A CPU Cooler with both fans (pull / push installed)
Case: Fractal Torrent Nano
Fans: 180 mm in the front, 120 mm Noctua in the back
RAM: G.Skill DDR5 5600 2 x 16GB CL28 KIT running in XMP-1 mode.
GPU:  Asus DUAL-RTX4070S-12G
Power-Supply: be quiet! Pure Power 12 M (750 W)
SSD: Kingston FURY Renegade 2 TB, SSD

Find attached the requested information for my tuned profile, which in short only has three (from my point) relevant changes from the defaults:
XMP-1 is enabled
CEP is disabled
SYNC ADC LoadLine with VRM Loadline enabled

Also find for my tuned profile: Cinebech + hwinfo screenshots to show that with CEP disabled the Auto AC LoadLine results in 0.3 (see yellow marked hwinfo) - this is especially relevant when I post the "default settings later" on:

Find now attached the default settings - please see the huge temperature difference in the comparison. I made the same screenshots after 30 seconds of cinebench running. Please also focus on the LoadLine values - far too high - no idea why this should be the default.

You can also directly see that the voltage heavily increased in default settings - even in bios already, this most likely causes the heat due to the massive loadline compensation of 1.7.

If you show me an option how to upload cmo files - please tell me - as the forum (for me) seems only to allow upload pictures and text - I uploaded the txt export from bios.

PS: Also see the temperature and voltage difference in the cinebench screenshots with cep enabled in combination with the thermals.

For default settings - I enabled XMP never the less on top - else the comparison would be quite unfair - just that you don't wonder when checking the results.
