Limiting my 12700K due to a temporary weak cooler

Had my AIOs pump fail. Thankfully still under Warranty so have RMA'd. Installed an old air cooler. It's not great but does work. Temps higher than I'd like when it boosts to 5Ghz on cores 4 and 5. They spike around 10 degrees hotter than the rest and make the fan RPM max + it's noisy 😞

I haven't bothered trying to Overclock, yet, and getting a little lost in the Bios. Last CPU I overclocked was a 4790K and things changed abit since then. Anyone know how to stop it boosting to 5Ghz on those two cores as thats the only time temps spike higher than I like for this cooler?

Have a ROG STRIX Z690-A GAMING WIFI D4 on Bios 1504

Bro, I am quite curious to know what you meant by temporary weak cooler. But if you want to stop Intel Boost, just disable in your BIOS advance setting.

If you want to get rid of 1-2 core boost disable Thermal Velocity Boost (TVB) in AI Tweaker.

Hello,

In the TVB menu you can set a frequency offset based on package temp.
