Hello, all my temps are fine, and I'm running CPU in default settings except for my memory.
On memory I have it set to manual , running @ 4600MHz 1.5V 19-26-26-46 and system is prime95 stable.
My CPU VCCIO is set to Auto and stays @ 1.312V
And CPU VCCSA is also set to Auto and stays @ 1.360V
Do these voltages seem OK, or should I manually set them a bit lower. Perhaps 1.225V on both and see if system remains stable, or just not worry about it.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
My G-skill 4600 runs well with default VCCIO and VCCSA with default xmp2 profile, no extra voltage needed except 1.45v for DRAM. But the performance is very poor. It's more of a bandwidth problem, cpu has trouble keeping up when you trim prime / sec / tert timings. I usually aim for Read and Write performance at 92-94% of theoretical max at the given clock, and Copy not far behind without losing too much latency.
Every CPU behaves differently. VCCIO increases slightly at load and if it becomes too high I get Blue Screen or system lock. Too much VCCSA and Pcie start to be affected, freezes in games and sometimes Aura software can be affected and go from solid red to rainbow. So the highest I can go is 1.3v on both in Bios.
I have my RTL settings in auto, and when all is well they show 71 71 the same, and the PC always starts with the first try. But when you get too close to the edge they start to separate 1-2. This is a good indication of whether you are on the right track or have gone too far. You usually can't take someone else's settings and hope it works for you, you need to calculate some and then fine tune the rest with trial and error.
You should also keep in mind that high North Bridge clock can affect your RTL settings.

That is definitely not true!
I read it often that the high cache frequency is caused for bad or high RTLs.
The cache frequency has nothing to do with the RTLs!
Here is evidence as screenshots (all in one step - done one after the other!).
My 9900K 5GHz core clock / ram clock 4533 CL 17 1T / cache frequency from 4.3GHz to 4.8GHz.
Cache 43
Cache 44
Cache 45
Cache 46
Cache 47
Cache 48 Attention! ("Ring down Bin" Option musst be set to "Disable" for 4.8 GHz Cache frequency with 5.0GHz Core frequency)
and "Final" with optimal RTL and IO-L
GSAT stable and used every day without problems.
with 5GHz Core Clock / Ram clock 4533 CL 17 1T / Cache Frequency 4.7GHz
In all screenshots, the RTLs and IO-Ls are set to "Auto" and only in the "Final" screenshot show optimal Set for RTLs and IOLs.
A separate Guide on how to optimally set your RTL and IO-Ls will be available later btw. coming son 🙂
