I'm running mine all at stock cause this CPU is more than fast enough for me. Just had temp issues and issues with Ai Suite which may be solved now. Helps when you tighten down your waterblock. This is the first time I have owned any EK waterblock and it doesn't come with instructions you have to scan a QR code on the box and go to the internet to get the instruction manual.
I turned off Asus Optimisations under Ai section in bios and told it to use intels specifics incase that was a little too high for the CPU.

Asus please you really need to fix your software both Ai Suite and this Forum.
I can't even attach a picture here, the screenshots are PNG and I have also tried converting them to JPG, Jpeg doesn't matter It will tell me wrong file extension or invalid file.
Don't know who does your software but yeah... It's such a shame because hardware wise you guys/girls are good.

Hi AsusRules32,
Have you reinstalled AI Suite 3 V3.00.78 from our support site but still got the same error message with idle mode overnight?
Did it occur every night and every you played Assassins Creed Valhalla about 30 minutes to an hour?
May I have screenshots of the settings you adjusted in AI Suite 3?
Thank you.

If you want to get a bit more out of your CPU without too much trouble, you can try this. This is fairly simple:
If left stock at default BIOS settings on a Strix Z490-A, my i9-10850 maximum frequency was only 4700mhz with a retardedly high voltage. Not once did I see any core go above 5000mhz. The 10850 is rated for 5200mhz max on turbo. I have a good custom water loop for cooling, temps were great, so I was confident thermal throttling should not be happening.
I went into BIOS and set all core to 5200 and left the voltage as is. I ran Cinebench R23 to test and it crashes. The voltage was up way too high already by default, so I wasnt going to raise it anymore. After pissing around for a bit, I landed at 5000mhz on all cores with 1.35v, and great temps. Looped Cinebench for an hour then ran Realbench looped for an hour. No crash, no errors, and good temps. I am going to mess with it further to see if I can get the voltage a bit lower. Also going to piss around and find a good off-set voltage rather than use a fixed. I left the Multicore Enhancement at Auto with no issue. Disabling it might help me further.
Given your CPU is rated for 5000mhz, you could possibly run all cores at 5000mhz at load. Chances are, maybe only one or two cores are even going that high if at any. The cores by default will run at different frequencies. Cant have that!
Use Aida64 or similar so you can monitor each CPU core's activity, frequency, and the CPU Core Voltage. Run a CPU stress test and note each core's activity and maximum frequency. Also note the core voltage. You will also see that not all cores are at same frequency. Chances are, not one hitting 5000mhz either.
Go into BIOS and set:
CPU Core Ratio - Sync All Cores
Core Ratio - 50
Multicore Enhancement - Auto
Leave CPU Core voltage set to auto for now. Save and exit.
Run a stress test. Cinebench or Realbench will give a decent real-world test. Note the max CPU Core Voltage
Did it crash?
NO - Cool. Go back to BIOS and lower the voltage. Set voltage control to manual and set voltage to what you noted and then drop it by say 5 increments below that voltage. Save and exit. Run stress test again. If successful, return to BIOS and drop voltage by 3 increments. Save and retest. Do this until it crashes, then bump voltage back up by one increment until stable again.
If this voltage is acceptable then good to go. Further tweaking maybe required.
Yes - Was the voltage high enough for that frequency in your opinion, or too high? And did all cores reach 5000mhz?
If it crashed and voltage was high, the bump down the multiplier in BIOS to 49 and repeat the above until stable at 4900mhz all cores. If voltage still too high at 4900mhz. drop multi to 48 and repeat. if no go, then just leave as it was before messing with it. You dont reall want to go any lower on the multi or you will definitely start to LOSE performance. Try a different method. This was the simplest.
This is by no means, a definitive guide. There are much better ones and people with much more knowledge on this subject than me. But this will get you in the ballpark and you can fine tune it further. Hopefully somebody with better knowledge will chime in and explain further.
