How To Disable 2 Cores Extra Boost? Help!!!!!

[Ghoster]

Hello,  Noob here!

Asus strix E gaming wifi 1 bios 1202

i9 13900kf, 64gb ram (4 sticks), windows 11

I really need help in stooping those 2 cores boosting to 5.8ghz while idling in windows (not a problem "yet" but I don't need them doing that) I have been asking for weeks in places and reading forums so I have tried the recommended methods but there is always something off in my case:

1. Sync all cores  = that doesn't let my CPU down-clock in windows they all at 5.5ghz all the time ( on auto they do down-clock)

2. Choosing by core / core ratio =  I put those 2 cores to 55 and all others on auto but that tanked my performance, cine-bench  goes from 39k to only 29k with that ( I tried disabling AI Cep and still was 29k)

3. I tried disabling anything TVB in bios and that didn't work either!

Note: there is a place in the bios showing all per core frequencies at 55 and those 2 at 58 but it's all greyed out so I can't change them there.

Any help would be appreciated!

These are opportunistic overclock technologies.

Look for TVB, Enhanced TVB and Turbo 3.0 to disable.

Hello and thank for the respond!

I already tried disabling TVB related stuff and didn't work

haven't try turbo 3.0 but I think if I disable that, then it will also disable the boost to 5.5 ghz ? which I still want!

You can set Specific Core to the peak all core ratio.

No, that's Turbo 2.0. Blame Intel for stupid naming.

https://www.tomshardware.com/reference/intel-favored-cpu-cores-turbo-boost-max-technology-3.0

Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 is a feature used by some Intel CPUs to improve performance of lightly- or single-threaded applications by pushing those workloads to the processor’s two favored (or fastest) cores. Using both hardware and software, Intel claims Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 delivers “more than 15% better single-thread performance.” 

Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 identifies the best performing core(s) on a processor and provides increased performance on those cores through increasing frequency as needed by taking advantage of power and thermal headroom.

That actually cripples all the cores to lower though!

I just want to find how to make 2 cores stop boosting to 5.8ghz , been asking all around but the recommedations

seems to have some downside in my case,  so I waiting for someone to guide me with the proper settings to finally find a solution 😞

[Ghoster]

Hi there Silent_Scone , I was hoping for you to help me out, since I always see you helping everyone here!

Can you please guide me on how exactly? as I really don't understand much of this stuff

Where exactly do I do that in the bios?     is not the by cores / per core ratio settings right?

[Wesley1]

I don't think you can do that on intel default profile. You would need to enable overclocking and simply do a underclocking. That would require to setup many options manually in BIOS. You would need to do some research on your own, there's plenty of materials about this on google. 😀

I am not using intels profile, also I just tried what you told me:

1.Disabled intel boost 3.0

2.Disabled all 3 TVB options

and the cores still boost to 5.8 ghz while idling

Also for some reason doing that also doesn't let the P cores downclocks to 800 MHz while idle

Here is a screenshot of when I also tried just the "sycn all cores" method to 55

As you can see, they never downclock (neither really reach 55?), and core vid always static at 1.3+ all while idle btw!

I am truly at lost here , which why I came looking for help at asus forum!
I don't think it should be so hard to achieve this yet here I am 😞

please help me, and be patient with me because I am pretty sure I doing something wrong?
I just can't figure out why this is not simple as disabling or enabling a setting 😞

[Ghoster]

Anyone please?  I have tried everything and yet they still boost to 5.8ghz

How to sync all cores to full 5.5 ghz while they still downclocks while idling in windows?
