Recently move into Apex Z890 and 285K

P Score: 86

E Score: 88

MC SP: 54

It very diff scores then what i had in 14900K.,  Low P score and Low MCSP.   I know it a bit diff.

But my R23 score is around high 41000.   Which it lower then expected.

I am using Intel Extreme with N profile enable.

Also try AI Optimize .. and score pretty much unchange.  Its very disappointing.

Install Intel XTU.  But Speed Optimize is disabled.  Follow instruction on to disable undervold protection.  still cant get speed optimize to enable.   Vt-D is disabled as well.

i finally got my System to run Intel XTU.   I end up doing a fresh install of Windows 11.    

But i still have question.  In BIOS.   I setup as Asus Optimized.  and AI on P and E.  I was able to launch Intel XTU and speed optimized. 

But as soon as I swtich in BIOS to Intel Extreme, speed optimized is disabled.  WHY?  I would have thought the reverse.  In bios Intel Extrmem Profile enable the Speed optimized...and Asus Permermance disabled it.
