Serveral Questions

[timlab]

I have an I9-11900k intel chip in my Z-590-e motherboard.  I know I have power, but now that I got my elect bill, I know I can save something here (LOL).  Not to mention the heat from the chip itself.

Question#1:  For the reasons mentioned above, how can I turn off Turbo Mode?  According to my BIOS, I have 4 different kinds of Turbo.  I have Boot performance mode, Intel SpeedStep, Intel Speed Shift Technology, Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology, and Turbo Mode.   All these are set to enable, so which one or two would I set to disable to turn off Turbo Mode?

Question #2:  What is the purpose of having 2 LAN ports?  What can I use them for besides the 1st one is how my internet comes into my computer?

Question #3:  Looking at Core Temp and CPUID HWMonitor, I've noticed lately that when I run Cinebench R32 that some of my cores are reaching 80 degrees.  Have I hurt the chip?

Thanks

I'm not sure about disabling performance on Intel, as I'm on AMD, so no advice on that.  The ROG Z590 Series BIOS Manual might help you understand the various options.

The 2nd LAN port is for whatever you want.  A common use case would be to use one LAN port for normal LAN usage, and the 2nd for NAS/SAN storage; that gives you consistent bandwidth for network storage and prevents things like increased latency on your normal LAN traffic due to heavy storage activity.  If Intel were not killing off their advanced networking stuff on the 200 series drivers, you could also potentially use it with link aggregation, to create a 5G aggregate link to a suitable managed switch.

80C is well within limits and not particularly surprising when you are running extreme cases like benchmarks.  If it has crept upwards over time while running the same benchmarks; you might want to repaste your CPU, and clean the dust off your fans and cooler.

Hello,

1) Browse to Advanced > CPU Configuration > Power Management Control > Disable Turbo Mode

2) There are multiple benefits to dual LAN capabilities. Certain boards support teaming which involves two cables for double data output, load balancing, and connecting to multiple networks/intranets and transfer of data whilst using the other for general Internet use.

3) Cinebench R32 uses some AVX routines and is a fairly intensive all-core workload. As such, it will use more current than most other tasks such as gaming. 80c is fairly typical with AIO or most conventional cooling.

Hope this helps.

@Silent_Scone - I did what you suggested about the Turbo Mode.  What it did was lock my freq or clocks at its lowest for this I9 which is 3.5GHz.  No wiggle room, but down and run at this speed forever.  I did test this and this is what I found out:

I ran a stress test through XTU (I think that's right) and right off the bat it said "Current/EDP LImit Throttling".  I keep seeing this and have no clue how to fix it.  As for the two games that I play (all the time (WOW and Risk), I saw no change, and my graphics was set to medium which was fine for me.  When I when in to disable turbo mode, that was a message on the bottom that said something "Enable/Disable processor Turbo Mode (requires EMTTM enable too".  What does this mean and where can I find EMTTM?

Now during the winter time, all hands on deck as I use PLEX which is video transcoding.

EMTTM is Turbo Mode, you'd asked how to disable it. Some games may take a performance hit or require it to be enabled

Current/EDP (Electrical Design Point) is a power throttling limit. The durations for which can be adjusted in XTU. However, this defeats your objective if wanting to conserve power.

Set SVID behaviour to Best Case Scenario and consider experiementing with a negative offset voltage. You will need to reevaluate stability as the offset is applied to the entire VID stack.

I agree with you, however, I'm only the message as if you look at the image it states "Enable/Disable processor Turbo Mode (requires EMTTM enable too)".  That is the only reason why I"m asking.
