This video helped my CPU now stay under 50’ C at all times. Thank you so much for this video, I followed every step and have had no problems. Will keep for future reference. Much thanks again as this helped me solve my problem. 🙏🏼

Cant wait to get home to try this. Been gaming for months with the same CPU, i9-12900KF (32GB DDR5, 5200mhz), upgraded to a 4090, now all of a sudden the core temps go as high as 98°C when gaming. New thermal paste was added (360 AIO Thermaltake pump/ cooler) full system reset, and still CPU core gets too hot. Only thing i didnt do was undervolt it.
@@triple8284 forgot to say my motherboard is an MSI Z690 Pro Wifi-A. It helped a little but weird spikes would happen and the temps would stay high. So i went on Amazon and ordered a Thermal Grizzly contact bracket, Corsair “extreme” Thermal paste, and went into bios and turned off my smart fan curve, keeping all fans and pump at 100%. I get heat spikes but but overall the gaming temps are lower than they were before. Playing Cybperunk 2077 maxed out with Path tracing on, ive seen temps as low as 72°. Im no pro PC guy so doing it all myself, im pleased Undervolting alone didn’t solve my issues, but i would recommend anyway. These CPUs are heat monsters

I lowered my voltage down to 1.17v with ZERO cost in performance and maxxing out at 70 degrees as opposed to before actually thermal throttling, literally all I did was go into throttle stop (superior to bios OC) and lowered voltage
Thanks. Good video Just curious, what speeds do you run your 12900k at? I currently have e-cores disabled and p-cores all set to 4.6ghz I have my vcore set at 1.2v but based on the end of your video i should set that back to auto and just use an offset instead?
I'm reading that it doesn't work with locked boards (660/760) and 12th gen CPUs. It will work for 13th and 14th, but for 12th gen you need a Z chipset.
Not true. I have a B660M Aorus Elite AX motherboard and I can do everything here in the video. The only thing you need a z chipset for is for "overclocking the cores" which I don't wanna do, hence why I opted for a B660M rather than a z690 or z790 mobo. I'm also running cool on a CoolerMaster PL360 Flux 360mm AIO watercooler. Makes all the difference in temps over a heatsink and fan combo...
Also why the fuck would you disable e cores even if gaming, if the game you’re playing doesn’t require the power you’re giving it its offloaded to the E cores, the EFFICIENCY cores; you’re only increasing wattage disabling them
So do u think it works on every motherboards? I have a custom one, unbranded. And i have no idea of how these things actually work. The only thing i know is i have a 12900k and a 3090ti and my pc gets to burn in 5mins of planing Baldurs Gate 3 lol
@@fuiunafresa7824 i have a 12900k and a 4090ABP watercooled with 1 44m 360 rad and lian li inf fans getting 95 max at cpu at bf2042.. what cooling do you have?
Dud if you disable the ecores you are wasting money. Get a 12700kf. Something not stupid would be to lower the ecore speed to 3ghz. That alone lowers de consumption
Thanks a lot for the support! I actually already have a Ryzen 5 5600X Undervolting tutorial on the channel and the settings are the same! Take a look at that!
I’m getting an error when following these instructions. After I save and reboot (-0.050) it says “previous overclock settings failed” and gives me the option to press F1 or F2 or ALT + F1. It then takes me back to the MSI BIOS. 😢 Edit: So to fix the error, I had to switch the mode from “Offset” or “adaptive + offset”. In your opinion, will this matter?
@@ImWateringPSUsSame issue here, the setting failed. But i dont have the "adaptative + offset" option to solve it. Just auto / override Mode / offset mode. Any advice? Its an msi click bios 5, same as video but with red color. I9 12900 + msi meg z690 unify

Got the same speca as you, how did the undervolting of the cpu do ??

Only difference in mine is I’m still running a 2070s. I’m trying it in the AM. Will let you know

That’s hot! Hope this worked for you. Max mine reaches gaming with a 4090 is 63. I am using water cooling though.

That’s absolutely GREAT my man! :) Consider subscribing to support the channel
Software solutions are not better than using the bios. All it takes is one conflict and you’ve fried your shit
That's amazing. Did you do offset or fixed Vcore?
I have a B760 Tomahawk motherboard and cpi core voltage mode doesn't show in my bios at all. even on expert mode in advanced
excellent video, thank you
Glad it helped, consider subscribing to really support the channel :)
Thanks. Good video

Why the hell would you even buy a 12900k for if you're doing this
Pretty sick case. What case is that

Subscribe if it works :)
Also why the fuck would you disable e cores even if gaming, if the game you’re playing doesn’t require the power you’re giving it its offloaded to the E cores, the EFFICIENCY cores; you’re only increasing wattage disabling them
In some games you’ll actually see a slight increase still, plus you can push the cache and the P-cores further without E-cores!
oh yea that's true, suppose it all depends on use case. Have a good un@@ImWateringPSUs
Thanks brother
Hey man, it’s my pleasure:)
Is there any reason to underclock this cpu while im running a 4090? as the 12900k probably bottlenecks?
Power saving and temp saving mostly, there really isn't gonna be a noticeable performance drop!
12900k wont bottle neck, and an undervolt isnt the same as an underclock
I have same cpu and gpu no problem at the moment
i have a 12900k. Is it safe to try and go to 0.060 or 0.065? My temps still spike pretty high under load and want to see if i can get them down a bit.
Hey there, yes it is! Just make sure to check for stability!
hey did you fix your problem ? and what is your Cooler ?
thnks a lot Bro

It would be awesome if u could help, since my watercooler seems to be not enough for cooling that fucking core
Hi there! Yes, it works on every motherboard. I also have in the making a dedicated video for locked motherboards, should be out within a few weeks

Weeeell the 12900K still is the better binned CPU though! In some games this really works :) But I’m not recommending everybody disables the e-cores
Sir can you do it on ryzen 5 5600 pls? This guides so good!
Thanks a lot for the support! I actually already have a Ryzen 5 5600X Undervolting tutorial on the channel and the settings are the same! Take a look at that!
Can I undervolt and limit the power to the cpu to 130W? Or will the two combined cause instability?
Yes you can! And it will actually be better than just power limiting it!

It won’t matter, it’s just a difference depending on the BIOS and motherboard vendor. Enjoy your undervolt!
