![]() ![]() Higher LLC settings may help with system stability but it can also reduce the lifespan of CPUs due to voltage overshoot, so we suggest keeping it at around level 4 for overclocking. Set Load-Line Calibration (LLC) to a medium setting, in our case LLC level 4. We would advise against extremely high LLC settings, but anything up to the midrange setting is safe for the longevity of our chip. Why even overclock? The most straightforward answer would be to get the highest stable clock speed with the lowest load-line calibration setting and lowest possible voltage while keeping temperatures in the safe zone. The objective of overclocking for daily use Our pre-tested i7 10700K can be pushed quite hard, so we let it rip and went to 5.2GHz all core overclock, which was stable in prime95 AVX2 torture test. Keep in mind that not all 10700K(s) will be able to achieve this frequency at safe voltages, but we estimate that most can be pushed to 5.1GHz. This depends on your silicon lottery luck, as well as the motherboard and PSU of your choice along with the cooling solution. For example, the expected overclock from an i9 will always be higher than that of an i5 and i7 however, you might push some individual chips higher. Also, a higher binned chip will overclock higher than a lower tier one. *Reminder* Not every chip can perform the same, as some will perform better than others. (For 5GHz overclock we insert 50, for 4.9GHz overclock we insert 49, and so on…) Step 3: Decide on the targeted frequency – in our case this is 5.2GHz so we insert a ratio of 52. This is a simple overclocking guide meant for beginners, so we will keep it simple. We won’t get into too much detail regarding these settings as it requires additional testing. ![]() Remember to change AVX Instruction Core Ratio Negative offset to 0. Select “Remove all limits” in ASUS MultiCore Enhancement options – this is needed for manual overclocking. Set Ai Overclock Tuner to Manual and base clock rate (BCLK Frequency) to 100 MHz.ĭo not turn on your XMP profile just yet – when stress testing the CPU we don’t want any potential memory instability, which could happen with XMP profiles. Therefore, we enable XMP once the CPU is stable. Step 2: Reboot your PC and enter BIOS by pressing the delete key on your keyboard. Select “Advanced BIOS” (press F7 if you’re currently in “EZ BIOS”). We used our flagship EK-AIO Elite 360 D-RGB to cool an Intel i7 10700k planted on an ASUS ROG Maximus XII Extreme motherboard.
