Hi all!
Z690 formula/13900k/asus ryuo iii
I was using 3101 bios, pretty good bios btw, nice temps and great stability. Yesterday i decided to update my bios, straight to 3402 ver. On 3101 i had adaptive vcore with slight undervolt on 5.7p/4.5e oc. -0.01200. In time spy cpu test my higher temp peak was 84c.
So, after successfull update to 3402, im applied my previous settings (again everything fine), disabled IA & SA CEP, run some quick tests for stability and wowed from my cpu temps. In time spy cpu test my cpu temp raised up to 6c!! Rolled back to 3302, repeat what i did before booting to windows and decided to check temps again, and again my cpu temp was 5c more than i had on 3101 ver. (89c).
Ok, did some undervolting, somehow on 3302 i have much more room for undervolting lol, with 3101 -0.01200 offset was my maximum, while 3302 allows me straight to -0.05700, after that im losing my stability. I did some tests again and my peak was 87-88c, but the other side is i gained some % in performance.
e.g with 3101 im topped 36-37k in cb23 with -0.01200, while on 3302 i can do 39900-40400 with -0.05700 offset.
So my question is, is this the way it should be or is something not working quite right? Its great that I got a performance uplift in return for increased temperatures, but at the same time my undervolt capabilities have increased much more and when jumping from 0.01200 to 0.05700 i dont gain in temperatures, but i gain in performance? How can i lower temperatures now with little loss in performance like before? Limiting tdp?
I hope this is not a stupid question, but i dont quite understand how the new bios work, specifically 3302 and 3401, that due to such important updates added undervolt capabilities and at the same time increased temperatures.
Thanks.
