10700K Overclocking Guide

Introduction

• The guide focuses on achieving a basic overclock of 4.9 GHz on an Intel 10700K processor.
• Suitable for various motherboards and systems with adequate airflow.
• Uses an Asus Maximus Formula XII for the demonstration but applicable to other motherboards.

Overclocking Settings

• Basic Settings:
  • Ensure Asus Multicore Enhancement is configured based on preference for hyper-threading.
  • Memory overclocking is not included in this guide.

BIOS Configuration

1. Initial Setup:

   • Default settings often set to auto.
   • Use Asus AI overclock tuner set to XMP II (memory-related).
   • Set clock and PCI frequency to 100.

2. Core Configurations:

   • Set CPU Core Ratio to Sync All Cores.
   • All-Core Ratio Limit to 49.
   • Disable CPU SVID Support.
   • Configure DIGI+ VRM: Set CPU Load-line Calibration to Level 4.

3. Voltage Settings:

   • Set Minimum and Max CPU Cache Ratio to 43.
   • Set CPU Core/Cache Voltage to Manual mode and Override to 1.35 volts.

Testing Process

• Use HWiNFO64 for monitoring system metrics and Prime95 for CPU stress testing.
• Avoid stressing AVX; focus on other aspects of the processor.

Hyper-Threading Tests

1. With Hyper-Threading Enabled:

   • Initial temperature test reaches 85°C.

2. With Hyper-Threading Disabled:

   • Re-run the stress test shows a 5°C drop (80°C total).

Multicore Enhancement Tests

1. Without Multicore Enhancement (Hyper-Threading Enabled):

   • End temperature at 88°C.

2. Without Multicore Enhancement (Hyper-Threading Disabled):

   • Temperature concludes at 80°C, similar to previous disable test.

Conclusion

• Overclock of 4.9 GHz achievable with various configurations.
• Disabling hyper-threading allows for higher frequency.
• Asus Multicore Enhancement aids but isn't necessary for overclocking.
