ROG STRIX Z590-E Gaming WiFi overclocking 10700K

[pdixon0]

Hi guys

I'm hoping for a little guidance here!

I've recently upgraded my motherboard from a Z490 PRIME-A to a ROG STRIX Z590-E Gaming WiFi. The old motherboard has gone to a build for my son.

OK, on the PRIME-A I used to run my 10700K at the following and it was stable with decent temps in AIDA64 (~92C) after 10 mins or so.

MCE - Enabled
Core Usage - 52, 52, 52, 52, 51, 51, 51, 51
AVX Offset - 1
SVID - Best Case Scenario
LLC - 4
Adaptive Voltage - 1.4V
VCCIO - 1.2V
VCCSA - 1.2V
DRAM - 1.4V
DRAM Speed - 4000MHz
Vcore in HWiNFO64 would max out at around 1.459V which I believe being socket sense would really be around 1.36-1.37V which I was quite happy with, again the temps were managable.

There were probably some other tweaks like TVB Voltage Optimizations being enabled too...

Now with the new board, to get it to even boot into Windows I need to run Adaptive Voltage at 1.58V which is obviously not a happy place to be! Mind you, HWiNFO64 maxes out at around 1.476 or something like that, which 'should' still be just less than 1.4V if you take into account that it is a Socket Sense reading?

I know the voltage isn't really high as the temps stay around the same ~92C in AIDA64 but I'm not happy that I'm having to use such a high value in BIOS, just in case!

What are everyone else's findings on the Z590 boards? I know they're still immature BIOS-wise - I'm currently on 0605

My full build for info:

ROG STRIX Z590-E Gaming WiFi
10700K (SP in BIOS 51)
Noctua D15 Chromax.Black (Cooler Score in BIOS ~182)
32GB G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3733MHz
Corsair RM750i
WD SN850 500GB boot SSD (in slot 3)
AData Sx8200Pro 2TB (the one with the good controller etc in slot 4)
EVGA 1070 Ti FTW2 (+550MHz RAM / +200MHz core)
Antec P120 Crystal
6 x Noctua Chromax.Black S12A Case fans

Thanks in advance

1.32V VCore?! I couldn't even get my 10700K to POST with less than 1.5V adaptive in BIOS! I've since moved on to a 11700K and that is fine at 1.45V adaptive (LLC5). Don't know if it has been a newer BIOS (0704) or if there were some strange settings in BIOS that the 10700K didn't like. It ran like a champ on the Z490 board I have...

Actually i don't know , everything that i have tested - mostly games (BF1 - BF5 - Cyberpunk - Destiny 2 ) and bench (Prime95 , Cinebench, AIDA64) seems to working with no crashes...
The only thing is when i enable AVX on prime95 i am getting BSOD...
I have the M/B and CPU about a month or so...was planing to buy an 11700K but i think i keep my 10700k for now.
Is there any wrong with my OC Bios Settings?

I'm no expert on overclocking but my original setup was similar in that it ran the games I play without issue but it would crash on stress tests. You could set an AVX offset if you're unstable on AVX loads or up your VCore to make it stable at the frequency you have. Just be mindful of voltages and heat.

Auto AVX worked for me , tried with all AVX demanding tests on AIDA64 several times and it just downclocked my cpu about 300-600 MhZ depending the test...
AVX is a power hungry feature that makes me wondering who is gonna use it on normal everyday activity even with gaming on an "consumer CPU" .
IMO intel had to provide this as a separate module/card such as floating (math co processors) was back in the past or with a different SKU.

I thought that im having a strange "over-voltage" thing on this board.
Hwinfo was showing around 1.200-1.250 V on Core VID and a little bit bigger on Vcore with everything on auto. The thermals were kinda high,which i blamed it on the AIO. But when i opened CPU-Z it was showing 1.507~.
Also,only after changing the voltage to 1.275(which it supposed to run with no problems at 4800 fixed,just for testing)i noticed that in the prediction corner it was predicting around 1.455 for 4800 (non AVX),and for AVX it was around 1.6+. And yeah,1.275 didn't work and it was unable to boot. Everything below 1.375 (yeah,kinda too much) was ending in BSOD only by logging into windows.
Today i tried to play with it a little,and for whatever reason able to work on 1.285. And prediction corner has changed.
Now it shows like this. Strange. Feels like motherboard is really evolving with time. So the best thing i can say is : give it time,really. Nothing else to say.

I am thinking about purchasing Z590 because there are 16 USB 3.0 ports scattered around the motherboard and supported by three USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A ports as well as two M.2 slots. Just finished reading about this one https://techreviewteam.com/hardware/best-motherboard-for-i7-11700k/. It seems a good option as for me (I hope I'm not making a mistake). But here what Asus says about this product: "Updated power designs underpin the entire lineup, which is further enhanced with the latest connectivity options" - so I guess it's exactly what is needed.

4x M.2 slots

10x rear I\O USB ports, 2 of which are 2.0
4x onboard USB headers, 2 of which are 2.0

have totally redone my overclock
so far have it totally stable @ 5GHz all cores
1.320 Adaptive voltage +.005v and LLC 4

have been stressing with Cinebench & Prime 95 with no errors or crashes.
gaming with Cyberpunk 2077 reaching ~62°C, stressing ~75°.


the only issue i've been having is that i can not get the c-states to properly function anymore...
for some reason creating a new Power Plan in Windows was the only thing that would fix the c-state issue of being stuck at the highest state.
existing plans would not function correctly no matter what Processor power management settings were in place. like all had defaulted to High Performance but could not be altered.
