This was my first YT upload ever. Check out my channel for more detailed looks at this PC build, and my upgrade installations. I'm constantly working on improving, and I work hard to try and put on something worth watching... Although this video isn't very well put together, of course. I'm learning, and I'm slowly getting more comfortable speaking in front of a camera. It's very awkward 🤣. For me at least. I brainstorm every minute of the day to try and come up with something funny or interesting. Please toss out some ideas, if you have any. I really appreciate you all.
@@PDYALL Oh yeah, runs excellent! Only change is, I upgraded the GPU to an RTX 3070. Rips through all AAA titles with excellent frame rates at 1440p. I'm still loving this 10700K. I do plan to upgrade to intel Rocket Lake 11th Gen as soon as it's available. This will open up the Z490's PCIe Gen 4 capability. 10th Gen intel doesn't support PCIe Gen 4, but most Z490 MB are Gen 4 ready.
Nice yea I was torn between the 9900k that was on sale for $299 or the 10700k and the guy at microcenter said if I bought the 10700k the chipset is good for the next new cpu and he price matched the 10700k to the 9900k for me. And I almost got the 3070 but I needed a power supply so I settled for the 3060ti with a new 750watt power supply can’t wait to try out the new combo
Thanks for this. This was the first OC guide I saw and used as soon as I got my 10700K around a month ago. Everything seems great so far. My R15 score is around the same as yours but my max temps went up to 84C on a couple of the cores, which is not a big deal because it's being cooled by a 280mm AIO liquid cooler so 84C being the max under stress test is fine by me. I did however choose "fixed mode" over "Dynamic" just to have all cores on 5.1Ghz. Maybe that's why my temps were a bit higher
to anyone wondering, msi mpg bios are pretty damn smart so u don't even need to change any of the voltages or speeds other than the cpu multiplier, I just typed 51 and it adjusted all the settings automatically so I left everything else on auto, just make sure u got the extra 4 pin cpu power plugged in
Yes, you can leave Vcore on Auto, but I wouldn't recommend it. Locking down the voltage gives the user better control of what's going on. You can also dial in an undervolted OC, to control temps and what not. Running an OC in Auto is also a good starting point, to see what the MB allows under certain loads, then one can go down from there. To each their own though. Cheers
Moozi well if your gonna overclock then you kinda need to. 8pin cpu connector provides in the range of 150-225w to the cpu, 10700k takes up around 150-200w under load on stock speeds. however if u overclock it it could consume upwards of 300w meaning u won’t have a stable overclock without the extra 4pin cpu connector. Cpu connectors are nearly the same as pcie connectors, it’s fair to say that u wouldn’t leave an extra 4 pin on your gpu unpopulated even though ur gpu would most likely run fine without it, so it’s generally just recommended to populate all power connectors available to insure stability
HALKBR I have a Corsair rm750x which is the same one as u just the modular version. Yours would run the cpu perfectly fine on just the 8pin if u run on stock speeds. A light over clock might also not cause any trouble but pushing it anywhere above 5ghz is likely to cause instabilities (I initially ran mine with just the 8pin and tried over locking and at 5.1ghz cinebench stress test caused the pc to crash, plugging in the extra 4 pin allowed me to be stable at 5.2ghz)
Good to hear! My kid is running that 10700k now. I picked up an 11700k, but that 10700k OCs way better. The 11700k needs 1.417v to run a stable 5.0Ghz, and it just barely beats out the 10700k in benchmarks.
Thank you so much for this video! It`s great! I have the same setup as you (mobo and cpu), but an Corsair H100i platinum Cooler (pump on quiet mode). I followed your settings, but I run with hyperthreading off (for now) and I`m getting pretty good results. I have testet with Prime95, AIDA 64, Cinebench R20 and CPU stress test on 3D mark. Currently overclocked to 5Ghz and 1.280 Volts. Highest temp (as expected) I got was with with Prime 95/small FFT`s: 90 Degrees. On AIDA 64 (full stress withouth GPU and disks) I get 78 degrees after 10 mins. Cinebench R20: 77 degrees. CPU test in 3D Mark: 60 degrees. So to my "issue"; I`ve testet from 1.33 volts and run several test, and then stepped down to my current 1.280 volts. More ore less the same temps I got at 1.290 volts. So should I keep going to crash/blue screen and hope for even better temps, or should I just be happy with these results? I will do aa several hrs AIDA-stress test in the end though :) Also mention that I use this PC for VR simulators mainly, so maybe Prime95 isn`t relevant to stresstest with :/ -Again, thanks for amazing tutorials! Helped me alot!
I do the same settings, I however use adaptive +override at 1.300 with the itx megz490, you may try playing with your voltage and drop the temp? I know I had to set to 1.34 to get prime95 to run though. Great video !
That's exactly why a made a video. I couldn't find anything specifically for a 10700k. I assumed it was basically a 9900k. Seems to be pretty close. Good luck on your search for Asus settings.
I got my 10700k overclocked to 5.1Ghz all cores!!! Stable!! Temps only reach low 80s during 15 minute stress tests! I can give you my settings a bit later! I set it to 1.35v could possibly go lower just need more time
How much improvement are talking here compared to the boost mode @4.8mhz? I'm gonna follow your settings tomorrow. I noticed that I have CPU bottleneck since I got a 3080 ti even on 1440p. I see around %85 GPU usage while playing Warzone ( Fortune's Keep) on lowest settings.
Man my PC blue screened 4 times while testing with your overclock settings. Switched back to game boost mode. What’s weird is that with game boost on, the temps get pretty high (97° c).
Gotcha.. It's trial and error when OCing.. Each chip is unique. Make sure Game Boost is off before trying these settings (of course). I got lucky with my 10700K, it is super easy to OC, with some decent settings. BTW, I had intermittent crashes when I used Game Boost myself. My kid has my 10700K now, and I upgraded to 11th gen when they came out. It's not as good as an OCer. I run my 11700K at 1.41V lol. As long as I just game on it, I'm not worried about being at 1.4v. Miss my 10700K lol. You'll get it dialed in eventually.
Try giving it more voltage, staying below 1.4v if you can. You can also try a lower Ring Frequency, and different LLC modes to see what happens. So many little toggles in there. I also swapped out my MSI MB for an Aorus. That was a mistake as well. I really liked the MSI BIOS.
Thanks brotha! I honestly used Bing to search for 1440p MSI backgrounds. Bing image search seems to be a little better, for me, to grab backgrounds. I actually found something to compliment Bing on 🤣. The HDR of my monitor made this background pop, and I loved it. I'm going to upload another video this weekend of my rats nest of cables. I'm going to attempt to document my cleanup. It got messy as I added more accessories.
Never too late man. Probably safe to say the 280 would perform about like my 360. It'd be a great option for an OC'd CPU. Go for it! Mine is still keeping my 10700k nice and cool. Zero issues. NZXT makes top tier products.
Is ur voltage in idle the whole time at max? Cause mine doesnt go down... ive got the Tomahawk z490 and took the most of ur settings. CPU voltage 1,335v currently. BTW 2200p in R15 and 5300p in R20 :) (5,1GHz)
Looks like it stays pretty static for me set at Mode 3. If you drop the voltage, and set the "load line calibration" to a different mode it may be more dynamic. The load line mode will push voltage under load based on the mode you select. I selected steady voltage.
You sir, have literally the same PC configuration I do! core i7 10700k, corsair vengeance pro rbg 32gb 3200, msi z490 gaming edge wifi; well, I did the settings that you have and my pc booted without any issues, I ran cinebench; within 20 seconds, my temps are at 100C lol..... I'm using a corsair h100i gtx cooler (240mm) from my previous build (the cooler has been in use for 4.5 years), even at 100 C the computer was holding up and did not stop, I stop like half a minute into the cinebench starting. I definitely need a 360mm cooler!
Smiley TeK I kind of was wondering the same thing! This cooler was taken from my last build. It cooled a 4790k that was overclocked to 4.8ghz for 4.5 years!
thats a good chip man! i have an asus rog strix z490-e gaming load line level 3 svid behavior set to best case scenario and xmp is on this is my setting for my i7 10700k at 5.1 core and 48 ring the overclock is dynamic and voltage peak under lite load is 1.39v and in cinebench r20 load voltage drops to about 1.3v and temps are around 80c
Thanks bro. I think I got lucky on this chip, for sure. It's excellent. That's awesome. 80C in R20 is about what I get as well, on my 2 hottest cores. That's good. Heavy gaming, I spike around 65C
My Bananaz bro, runnin' smooth as butter. No crashes, no stutters, nada. Although, I just ran into my motherboards limitations. I'm all outta USB headers.. 🤔 I'm recording my next video, and had to put it on hold until I get a few necessities... Gotta hit up Amazon real quick 🤣
I have the same phone and same CPU. That phone takes some nice photos and videos of my ducks. I use dragon center long enough to sort out my lights and then remove it. Sometimes the color pattern will stick. Earlier it didn't though. I just can't stand how sluggish it is! I kinda want to test out the ClockGen features in the bios.
*update* since using the latest BIOS not sure if related but can now have a stable 5.3ghz 50x ring with max temp of core able to achieve was 84 degrees while running prime95 & r20 & r23. All cores are within 5 degrees of each other and hyperthreading on running Windows 10 Insiders Build 2103. Previous max was 5.2ghz & 48x ring @ 1.35v and SA 1.25 but 5.1ghz I kept it on due to the occasional WHEA or other error reported by HWINFO64 . Any of you guys tried upping the core with same results? I have not had a single error and its been running for over 400 hours
Using these settings, vcore seems to stay pretty steady, right around where it's set. I would assume that changing the LLC mode and/or setting voltage to auto might affect the voltages at idle, but you lose Vcore override with Auto. I run 5.0Ghz all core "dynamic" at 1.325V LLC mode 3 these days. The frequency fluctuates, but not the vcore (really). Change the Load Line Calibration mode, and see if that goes in the right direction.
Yes, you can. I'd suggest keeping an eye on temps and the fluctuations in voltage, and manually locking the voltage at some point though. Just my opinion, and just in case auto tries to push it higher than you'd expect. Auto is a good starting point though.
@@TheAcadianGuy I figured out that my old 240mm aio pump was not working properly. I've replaced it to a new 360mm aio and the temp went back to normal.
Can I use exactly the same specs if I've got: i7-10700k, SPC GRANDIS 3 (cooler), Patriot Viper Steel 16 GB, 3600MHz, CL17, MSI MPG Z490 GAMING PLUS? Mainly I'm wondering if cooler will handle that.
Hmm. Not familiar with that cooler, but it looks pretty beefy. Give it a try. The CPU will protect itself and throttle if it hits 100C. I was hitting 95C with a smaller Cooler Master EVO Black in Cinebench R20 @ 5Ghz tbh. It's safe to try it out. It's all about voltage. The lower you can go on voltages with your OC, the better temps you'll get, but it may not be stable. You probably know that, but you just gotta find the sweet spot. Try 1.3v and work up by .005 if it crashes under stress.
If it's a 10700k, these settings should be perfectly fine. You can probably even drop the voltage a little. Just be sure to double check your settings, leave the thermal protections enabled (as I did), and have a proper cooling solution. I would recommend a 240mm aio, or maybe even Noctua's larger air cooler minimum. The CPU will protect itself and throttle if it hits 100°C. You can also set an AVX offset of -5 or so to be sure the clocks drop if the CPU is hit with AVX instruction. I totally forgot to mention that. I didn't set an offset. I'm confident in my 360mm Kraken's ability to cool the CPU adequately. I will be posting a video on my cooler this weekend. Subscribe if you'd like so you can see how I keep it nice and cool.
@@TheSmileyTek I will take your opinion into consideration and I will do what you tell me and yes I have an i7 10700k I find it very similar to the I9 9th generation
"Clear cmos". Remove the motherboard battery and put it back in, or check your motherboard owners manual on which 2 pins to short with a screwdriver. You're all good. Try one of those 2 options. It'll reset your bios.
I wouldn't think so. As long as your temps are OK. I wouldn't go over 1.4v. However, I run my 11700K at 1.417v 😆. It's fine though. My 11700K just isn't as good of a sample of silicon as my 10700K is. I'd rate my 11700K as a "bronze" sample and my 10700K as a strong "gold plated silver" sample. The 10700K isn't quite a "golden" sample, but it's pretty close.
All nice MBs. The MPG Gaming Edge has a 60A power delivery where the Strix Z490-G appears to have 50A. Both appear to be 12 phase. Take a look at this document. Hope it helps you make a decision. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1yPS3hj_K7EPT4RBWCyjdKNP56pnwDz-IgBc0975-FUg/htmlview#
Can undervolting freeze your cpu while gaming? My 10700k is running 5ghz, used to be on 1.375v. After I changed it to 1.35, my pc froze after about 10 minutes on tarkov.
Oh yeah. If there's not enough voltage to push the frequency etc. It'll crash. I got pretty lucky with my 10700K, in that it was stable at 1.325 / 5.0Ghz. My 11700K not so much. I'm at 1.417 / 5.0Ghz with that CPU, and it runs a little hotter.
This Intel Rapid Storage is for what? Sorry not understanded, btw thanks for great video, i have same CPU, same motherboard, will try this overclock soon with my Noctua cooler :)
I have intel optane memory in one of my M.2 slots which is paired with my mechanical hard drive. It gives it a little boost by acting as a cache for the drive. The read speeds are closer to SSD performance on programs I use often. Optane "learns" which files are used often, and holds them in "memory" for the drive, so to speak. I disable it with Intel Rapid Storage to avoid any issues if I crash, and have to reset CMOS. From what I've read, you always want to unpair Optane before resetting the "Raid/Optane" switch in the BIOS. Clearing CMOS may set my BIOS to default which may turn off "Optane Genie". In theory it could cause issues with the drive. It's just a hard drive full of games, but it would take hours to re-download them. They're huge these days 🤣. Modern Warfare is over 200GB. That's nuts!
I'd think it would be best as well, to have all cpu power pins populated. I went with a Seasonic Focus Plus 850W modular. Luckily it had all of the cables I needed the the Z490 board. Although, power supplies above 650W have been harder to come across lately.
Yep same overclock 1 year later. Took a second to find my comment. Thank you sir. It takes me 30 seconds to un overclock or re add it whenever I want to use less power.
@@iAdam43 1 or two crashes over 6 months of Warzone. I actually use 5.0 at 1.3 and never have had a crash. 5.1 at 1.31 worked fine i just probably didn't add enough voltage and didnt want to risk my Pc dropping in $ Wager game.
@@danniebergall6356 Nice! It'll run like a champ. Be sure you have adequate cooling. My newer video shows what not to use, and what I ended up using for those low temps. It will throttle at 100C. You may already know that. I'm loving my 10700k. That air cooler I show would probably be ok for gaming though.... Maybe
@@TheSmileyTek ive got an NH-D15 Chromax on it. Should be fine enough. My room temps never go over 18c also so that helps. But ya i mostly game with it so wont have to worry about high temps with productivity programs.
I have tried it and my system running unstable - frozen few times. We are on pretty much the same specs, temperatures are at the same level but as I said windows crashed two times when I was using your settings.
Hello, I just saw your question about using these settings with the x63. That cooler is adequate for sure. All CPUs are different. Try dropping to 50 rather than 51, or add .005 volt increments until it's stable. Staying under 1.4v is a common practice when you OC, but it comes down to temps. Mosfet and cpu core temps.
BTW. Lian Li Lancool II Radiator fans - pull Front mount 360mm 5 case fans + the 3 on the radiator = 8 fans 3 rad fans in, 2 bottom fans in, 1 rear fan out, 2 top fans out. That link is to the video I uploaded showing the rig.
I'd say sustained 80s and above too often, would chip away at it a little faster. Although 100C tjmax is when it starts throttling, and that's per Intel specifications. I'd be ok with some 70s here and there, and low 80s at heavy load for short bursts. My target for gaming, I'm ok with 66ish spikes with low and high 50s sustained on the CPU. But, if you upgrade often, you may not even notice stability issues or degradation during short lived ownership, running at high temps. The CPU will protect itself if temperature protections aren't turned off. This is all just my opinion. The lower your temps (not counting LN2 or extreme OCing), the more stable and faster your silicon hardware will run. With my GPU, I go aggressive on the fan curve to keep my max temps around 70C sustained during heavy gaming. Not easy with a 3070FE, with stock cooling and an OC, but clock speeds stay where they're set until I hit about 74C. At that temp clocks drop a little on my GPU.
So I did everything that was said in the video but it’s only showing 3 cores and 6 threads and I have the exact same CPU and on top of that it only stays at 5.1ghz until I open any application then it just drops down to around 4.8 - 4.7 ghz. I’ve also reseted everything to default in the BIOS and tried the exact same thing and it still isint working. Any advice ?
@@TheSmileyTek I’m not quite sure tbh, where do you think I could find these game booster options ? I’m quite new to PC in general so I’m a bit lost with everything 😂
@@TheSmileyTek So turns out I had game boost and the overclocking turned off for my games on dragon centre. Everything seems to be stable and at a constant 5.1ghz. Thankyou heaps for the help, absolute legend!!!
For sure! They both have a 12+1+1 cpu power delivery. Good to go to OC using these settings. Your "mileage" may vary though. I consider my 10700k a pretty good sample of silicon. 1 year later, it's still running this OC 24/7, and it's running the same as always. No noticeable negative affect. Very happy with it.
@@uniseslayer4758 Nice! You'll love it. If you are going to install an aio and fan "hubs", you may need extra usb. Here's the one I grabbed from Amazon. www.amazon.com/dp/B08N4QVMJ5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_GTW9819VDXZ9KA1WK3P3
Sure, millage may vary per silicon sample. I have a 11700k now, and to hit 5ghz with it, I'm at 1.419v and 43 ring. That's higher than I'd like to be on voltage, and lower on ring, but my 11700k isn't as good a sample as my 10700k. So now my son has my 10700k and 3070 in his PC, since I was finally able to get a 3080 for msrp by entering the Newegg Raffles for 5 months lol. As long as you aren't crashing or noticing any negative effects, should be all good.
Hey I recently built a pc with a i5 10600k and msi z490 motherboard do you think these settings will work in terms of overclocking my 10600k? I'm new to manual overclocking, my last pc I just used the auto overclock
For the most part. May have to go higher on the voltage for a 5 or 5.1ghz though. I'd start at 1.35v (total guess) @ 5 or 5.1Ghz and move the voltage up or down from there( by 0.01). Staying below 1.4v ideally. Once it runs a quick benchmark at reasonable temps, I'd test it for stability with something like Aida64 for a few hours and then run a few back to back stress tests, along with the software you usually use. Maybe play a few demanding games or something too. The 10600k is a really good CPU.
@@TheSmileyTek ok thank you I will definitely try that out. If I have any trouble I'll leave a comment. I appreciate your time in helping me with this.
@@TheSmileyTek ok I think I have a stable overclock of 4.9ghz with 46 ring, 1.280v, Avx -3. My Temps are low to mid 90s. Thats the best I've gotten in Temps it seems anything in 1.3 makes them go to 100. I've done cinebench R20 and Linpack Extreme for stress tests and Cpu-Z. I'm not sure if this means it's good or not when I play warzone I have Cpu-z running on my other monitor and the Ghz and Ratio(8-48) fluxes lower is that normal?
That's something you'll have to play with. Specific to each chip, but I've had no issues at 1.33v @ 5.1 and 1.325v @ 5.0. There's probably some room there, to drop the voltage, if you play with the load line calibration and test it in AIDA64 for an hour or more.
Should run at 4.7Ghz right out of the box. That's 300mhz above 4.4. Are you going for 5.4Ghz? It is possible, but you would need some pretty high voltages and some major cooling, unless you have an excellent sample of silicon. I can push mine to 5.2Ghz or 5.3Ghz all core with manageable temps, but I don't gain anything noticeable. I've found 5.0Ghz (1.32V LLC mode 3) is the sweet spot for my silicon. Snappy and easy for my aio to keep cool under any circumstance so far.
@@TheSmileyTek out the box it says 3.8ghz. Unless I did something wrong? I only game I don’t do anything else. 4.7 would be great too. I appreciate the reply!
@@danielmora3843 For sure. No, you're correct on 3.8. That's just base clock. Should hit 4.7Ghz out of the box, before the temps get too high. You can follow this video, and set the core ratio to 44 and ring ratio to 41. Maybe try a 1.315V or 1.32V. Maybe even lower at 4.4. Or go for 47 core and 44 ring for a little more snap. 4.7Ghz is a good target for air cooling.
@@TheSmileyTek I am a noob. I’m gonna try this. So would this make my base 4.4? To be honest I don’t even know if I should be doing this. I am a total noob lol. But I see everyone doing it and rave about it.
@Daniel Mora No worries. Your CPU will protect itself from damage. Worst case, your PC just reboots if it doesn't like the settings or it gets too hot. Don't worry though. Z490 is made for this stuff. If you set the ratio to 4.4 "dynamic" the cpu frequency will drop down when idling and rise to 4.4 under load. If you set to "fixed" it will stay where you set the core ratio. 4.4 in this case. Also, you can search "power management" settings in Windows. Balanced will allow fluctuations in frequency (along with other power functions), and "performance" will keep everything perked up and probably minimize response times ever so slightly. It's all about temperatures. Maintaining reasonable temps, 20C to 75C in my opinion, is the key to longevity. But, running this CPU at 5Ghz probably won't have any negative affect until the CPU is years old. You'll probably upgrade before that ever happens. I was nervous my first time too. This stuff isn't cheap, but I learned that it will let you know if you go too far. You just boot back up, back off a little, and you're back in action no problem. You got this. Just have fun playing with your toys. 😁
Hi. I also have an i7 10700k with Gaming Carbon WIFI. I have a problem. With the latest BIOS update I can't set per core overclock. I set 4 core 5 ghz and 4 core 4,9 ghz but I always end up with 4,7 ghz all core in BIOS and windows ? Do you know what causing this problem ? I think the BIOS for my motherboard need a fix.
Hey buddy. Thanks for watching the video. Sorry about the crumby quality. I just wanted to share. On the per core clock settings, is it possible the Intel XTU is overriding them? Dragon Center was overriding my settings at first. A Windows task was running Dragon Center settings. Are the clocks right when you first start Windows, and then they all drop to 4.7 after a few seconds, or are they all 4.7 right when you log in to Windows?
@@TheSmileyTek Thx for the reply. I don't have intel XTU app. Clock speeds maxes at 4,7 Ghz on idle and under load. I don't have any power limits. I think this bios is bugged. One thing I have discovered that when I click Game Boost option, my cpu fans spins at max speed for no reason. Temp and vcore stays the same.
Yes. Game Boost sets a +1 to your clocks, and runs the cpu cooler at 100%. I plan to investigate the per core issue tonight. I noticed that my PC did the exact same thing. They all dropped to 4.7.. Very interesting. No worries though, we'll look into it, and figure it out.
Data point... I tried these settings today and could get through all of the stress tests, bench marks, etc. but playing CoD MW gave me blue screens “WHEA UNCORRECTABLE ERROR”. Raising the voltages fixed the issue.
sir, how can you set minimum core clock at 800mhz when i just stay at 5.100ghz, thats make my CPU hot even my system idle Im using MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Carbon Wifi + MSI CoreLiquid 360r and after follow your tutorial, i cant control my GPU Fan with MSI Afterburner, any suggest sir ?
What's your temps? Set your CPU ratio mode to dynamic. There is also a settings in Windows 10. Go to windows power settings, and select a balanced power plan. Those 2 things should make your clocks drop when not "loaded". None of those settings should've affected the GPU. Hmm. Reinstall Afterburner? Maybe
@@TheSmileyTek i follow all of your setting on bios, but not on windows power plan, maybe i will try that About GPU Fan control i have no idea, i restore my default bios setting and ist work again, maybe i should try one by one of the setting bios to know its work or not Thanks by the way sir
@@TheSmileyTek hello sir, its been a year :D and i still curious about this, i know our motherboard have 8+4 pin connector CPU Power, did you plug that all 8+4pin connector to or just 8 pin without 4 pin ?
That's excellent! Is that just gaming? Have you ran Cinebench R20 a few times to see when the liquid temps start to rise? 120mm vs 360mm rad, 360mm would just gain you a little more time under heavy load due to the volume of liquid. Short loads seem to be the same for both rad sizes. Some video renders I've ran, can put a sustained load in the cpu, but they're never long enough to raise the liquid temps more than a degree or two.
@@TheSmileyTek I just got home from work and decided to under-volt my cpu, id highly recommended doing the same. I set the max cpu vcore to 1.250vdc.

@@TheSmileyTek I agree I just settled on 1.320v as well. 1.25 runs fine under everyday loads but heavy loads can cause a crash in linpack due to voltage drop across the socket/pins. Glad to hear we came up with similar results!
Anyone know why is my 10700k running at 90-95 degrees when i stress test or game??? the cpu cooler is installed properly (trust me i had to do it 4 times before it would seat correctly)
@@TheSmileyTek well I think the cpu cooler is my issue. I only have the stock intel cooler on it and I figured that would be my issue.. i just ordered a Noctua NH-U12S and hopefully that'll be good enough
Oh yeah. You'll need more surface area to dissipate the heat coming off of an overclocked 10700K. Those temps are the same I was getting with a 212 Evo air cooler. The Noctua should work way better. I'd suggest trying an all core 5.0Ghz OC at 1.325V, LLC 3. That's what I run 24/7. No issues.
@@TheSmileyTek I will try out what you suggested once my cooler comes in, and thank you for the info! It's nice to have someone who knows what they're talking about helping a brotha out. 🤘🤘
I'd think your temps may push a little high under load, but it won't hurt to try it. The CPU will protect itself from overheating. I thermal throttled with a Cooler Master EVO Black installed. Looks like the Artic Esports is beefier than my Evo was. Give it a shot, and share your temps if you want. I'd love to hear how it goes.
I think it would be fine. It's a 12 +1 +1 phase 60 amp VRM power delivery system. I'd recommend the MEG Unify as a 10900k minimum, but I know this board would handle it just fine. I can go 5.2Ghz, and probably 5.3 with the 10700k. The VRMs only went into the 60C range when I ran Prime95 smallest ffts (a power virus).
They look pretty close to me, as far as the 12+1+1 phase power delivery system. I haven't noticed any obvious differences in my short time looking at the MAG lineup. I was looking for integrated WiFi just in case I ever needed it, but of course you can add a WiFi card for that. MPG (Performance Gaming) line. MAG (Functionality) line. Per MSI, the MPG lineup is slightly above the MAG lineup, with MEG at the top "best overclocking" board. Technically, MSI considers the MPG to be above the MAG. Hope that helps.
Those are not true temps, and this can be dangerous. The proper way to run temp tests is to run them for at least an hour continuously, preferably few hours. This gives the cpu a chance to heat up over time (notice how the longer you ran it, the hotter the temps got). Since a few Cinebench R20 tests got your cpu up to 80°C, I would say after an hour you'd be very close to 90°C, too high for my comfort. Try lowering the voltage by .05v, then test again for an hour. If stable, lower by another .05v, test again. When it gets unstable and starts to fail, go up by .01v until it doesn't fail, and you will have found the lowest possible voltage for your chip. Lower voltage = lower temps 😉
Those are true temps for an R20 run. Nothing dangerous shown in this video. Pretty standard. R20 runs AVX, so a spike in temps is normal. Nothing I run daily loads the CPU like R20 does. An 80C spike running AVX is normal as well (with an OC in my case). An AVX offset is all that's really needed if one doesn't feel comfortable with the spike caused by AVX. I ended up settling at 5.0Ghz, 1.320V, LLC 3 for daily use. I'm starting to realize I got pretty lucky with this silicon. Thanks for your input. Sounds like you're having as much fun as I am playing with our toys. I spent hours, over a few days running the proper stress tests getting to the settings I currently use. While gaming, my temps run between 45-65. That's perfect for me. What LLC Vcore and ratio does your CPU run best at?
@@TheSmileyTek I've been considering OCing my chip but haven't tried it yet, have been trying to see what results people are getting before I give it a shot. 65°C during gaming is great though, I'd be comfortable with that. You're right that Cinebench is a different type of load and heavier than gaming, I'm used to doing prime95 for 8hrs for a full time long term OC stability check, but that's how I learned about a dozen years ago lol. Some games give heavier loads than others, so if my cpu can handle hours of prime95 then I know no game will give me any issue. You'd also be surprised how many times an OC fails after an hour or two of testing, so with 8 hours it makes me feel comfortable enough knowing it's stable as can be. Everyone clocks differently tho hehe, like they say it's an art, not a science, at the end of the day there are different needs for different users and use cases, so everyone had their own way of clocking 🙂
I have very similar build 10700k with MPG Gaming Plus in my case I run 5 GHz with 1.27v but for prime stable need 1.28v MOS = VRM on MSI motherboard ;)
Nice! I haven't tried to see how low I can go on the voltage yet, but I definately plan to. MOS and VRM can be read separately. I have a thermocouple I plan to use on the "middle" VRM just out of curiosity. It would be some work to disconnect the MB and remove the heat sink though. Maybe I could read from the back of the MB? I've been lazy 🤣.
@@TheSmileyTek Yea for Asus you can read the VRM and for MSI u can read the MOS, but at the final of the day VRM is just the entire design, MOSFETS are more accurate to read actually.
🤔 I have noticed that I got pretty lucky with my chip. It seems to be able to run at a little bit lower voltages than some others. Have you tried bumping up the voltage a little? Start at 1.4v and work your way down. When it crashes, bump it up 0.005 and test it out. Try to stay below 1.4v if you can, but going over a little won't hurt anything, as long as your temps are ok.
I can go live tonight on YT and give it a shot. You're welcome to join me. I haven't tried less than 1.3v, but I can later, live. Turn on notifications and I'll try anything you guys suggest. Anything that won't destroy my toys of course lol.
@@TheSmileyTek I started newly over clocking. I'm on 5.1gh 1.28v, LLC mode3. My goal is stability for daily use work, browsing, and squeeze out more fps so games stay above 144fps within reason. Basically looking at 5.00GHz+ min maxing voltage for lower temps and overall longevity. Hopefully we're in same time zone ish. See you live streaming.
@@TheSmileyTek If you haven't already please get 3Dmark on steam to run some benches to see if there's performance gain/loses in revelance to lowered voltage. Thanks a bunch.
Excellent! I could run games and all of my usual software in the 1.25v range no problem, but Prime95 small fft crashed it 🤣. Although 1.33v, ran small fft no problem. I uploaded the video to my channel. Good ol' power "virus" test.
At the time, I preferred not to use the systems resources and skew my benchmarks. I have a 2nd PC and a capture card now, but no time to make content 🤣.
@@TheSmileyTek I looked this up because I just got this exact motherboard and a 10700kf, the chip was less than $300 so I had to pick it up, really good deal. I got the motherboard as “renewed” so I’m trying to check if it has any problems
This was my first YT upload ever. Check out my channel for more detailed looks at this PC build, and my upgrade installations. I'm constantly working on improving, and I work hard to try and put on something worth watching... Although this video isn't very well put together, of course. I'm learning, and I'm slowly getting more comfortable speaking in front of a camera. It's very awkward 🤣. For me at least. I brainstorm every minute of the day to try and come up with something funny or interesting. Please toss out some ideas, if you have any. I really appreciate you all.
what cooling system?
So is it still working all good no new changes
@@PDYALL Oh yeah, runs excellent! Only change is, I upgraded the GPU to an RTX 3070. Rips through all AAA titles with excellent frame rates at 1440p. I'm still loving this 10700K. I do plan to upgrade to intel Rocket Lake 11th Gen as soon as it's available. This will open up the Z490's PCIe Gen 4 capability. 10th Gen intel doesn't support PCIe Gen 4, but most Z490 MB are Gen 4 ready.
@@DanMDL Sorry for the late reply.. I have a Kraken X73 260mm AIO installed. It works great.
Nice yea I was torn between the 9900k that was on sale for $299 or the 10700k and the guy at microcenter said if I bought the 10700k the chipset is good for the next new cpu and he price matched the 10700k to the 9900k for me. And I almost got the 3070 but I needed a power supply so I settled for the 3060ti with a new 750watt power supply can’t wait to try out the new combo
Probably the best video I’ve found with what I’m looking for 👍
We will see how it works this weekend.
10700k, Z590 carbon, and 2fan aio
Thanks for this. This was the first OC guide I saw and used as soon as I got my 10700K around a month ago. Everything seems great so far. My R15 score is around the same as yours but my max temps went up to 84C on a couple of the cores, which is not a big deal because it's being cooled by a 280mm AIO liquid cooler so 84C being the max under stress test is fine by me. I did however choose "fixed mode" over "Dynamic" just to have all cores on 5.1Ghz. Maybe that's why my temps were a bit higher
Nice! Glad it was helpful. It's a great CPU.
"Hit delete a thousand times, I learned it on RUclips" lol
As an overclocker you'll never forget what key gets you into BIOS haha
😏😂
to anyone wondering, msi mpg bios are pretty damn smart so u don't even need to change any of the voltages or speeds other than the cpu multiplier, I just typed 51 and it adjusted all the settings automatically so I left everything else on auto, just make sure u got the extra 4 pin cpu power plugged in
Yes, you can leave Vcore on Auto, but I wouldn't recommend it. Locking down the voltage gives the user better control of what's going on. You can also dial in an undervolted OC, to control temps and what not. Running an OC in Auto is also a good starting point, to see what the MB allows under certain loads, then one can go down from there. To each their own though. Cheers
So you're suggesting to connect the 8 pin power as well as the 4 pin CPU power??
Moozi well if your gonna overclock then you kinda need to. 8pin cpu connector provides in the range of 150-225w to the cpu, 10700k takes up around 150-200w under load on stock speeds. however if u overclock it it could consume upwards of 300w meaning u won’t have a stable overclock without the extra 4pin cpu connector.
Cpu connectors are nearly the same as pcie connectors, it’s fair to say that u wouldn’t leave an extra 4 pin on your gpu unpopulated even though ur gpu would most likely run fine without it, so it’s generally just recommended to populate all power connectors available to insure stability
@@Magicmushroomboi My PSU is CX750 from Corsair, but don't have this extra 4pin :( Btw, whats your PSU?
HALKBR I have a Corsair rm750x which is the same one as u just the modular version. Yours would run the cpu perfectly fine on just the 8pin if u run on stock speeds. A light over clock might also not cause any trouble but pushing it anywhere above 5ghz is likely to cause instabilities (I initially ran mine with just the 8pin and tried over locking and at 5.1ghz cinebench stress test caused the pc to crash, plugging in the extra 4 pin allowed me to be stable at 5.2ghz)
I’ve been using this same Overclock for a year playing Warzone. Thank you for saving me a ton of time. I found this video first try
Good to hear! My kid is running that 10700k now. I picked up an 11700k, but that 10700k OCs way better. The 11700k needs 1.417v to run a stable 5.0Ghz, and it just barely beats out the 10700k in benchmarks.
@@TheSmileyTek thats interesting to hear.. i think that 10700k is a really good working cpu
and how it works?
Thank you so much for this video! It`s great! I have the same setup as you (mobo and cpu), but an Corsair H100i platinum Cooler (pump on quiet mode). I followed your settings, but I run with hyperthreading off (for now) and I`m getting pretty good results. I have testet with Prime95, AIDA 64, Cinebench R20 and CPU stress test on 3D mark. Currently overclocked to 5Ghz and 1.280 Volts. Highest temp (as expected) I got was with with Prime 95/small FFT`s: 90 Degrees. On AIDA 64 (full stress withouth GPU and disks) I get 78 degrees after 10 mins. Cinebench R20: 77 degrees. CPU test in 3D Mark: 60 degrees. So to my "issue"; I`ve testet from 1.33 volts and run several test, and then stepped down to my current 1.280 volts. More ore less the same temps I got at 1.290 volts. So should I keep going to crash/blue screen and hope for even better temps, or should I just be happy with these results? I will do aa several hrs AIDA-stress test in the end though :) Also mention that I use this PC for VR simulators mainly, so maybe Prime95 isn`t relevant to stresstest with :/ -Again, thanks for amazing tutorials! Helped me alot!
I do the same settings, I however use adaptive +override at 1.300 with the itx megz490, you may try playing with your voltage and drop the temp? I know I had to set to 1.34 to get prime95 to run though.
Great video !
I am running these same settings for 2 weeks now, and all fine. Temps are the same as before, when it was all on default.
One thing that bugs me is that this bois automatically sets my CPU fan to maximum speed as soon as I click on the Overclock option
Love how I chose an ASUS board and they label everything different from my past msi board
That's exactly why a made a video. I couldn't find anything specifically for a 10700k. I assumed it was basically a 9900k. Seems to be pretty close. Good luck on your search for Asus settings.
Have you found an asus video guide? I would love it lololol
Scott Lee unfortunately I have not. I miss my MSI board. Everything imports was right in front of you
My son wants a new motherboard for his Bday this month. I'll look into Asus.
I got my 10700k overclocked to 5.1Ghz all cores!!! Stable!! Temps only reach low 80s during 15 minute stress tests! I can give you my settings a bit later! I set it to 1.35v could possibly go lower just need more time
i have a z490 plus (msi-7c98) its that work for i7 10700k to overclock ?
Well this will help I have the same cpu and motherboard thx for the info
Did it work?
How much improvement are talking here compared to the boost mode @4.8mhz? I'm gonna follow your settings tomorrow. I noticed that I have CPU bottleneck since I got a 3080 ti even on 1440p. I see around %85 GPU usage while playing Warzone ( Fortune's Keep) on lowest settings.
Man my PC blue screened 4 times while testing with your overclock settings. Switched back to game boost mode. What’s weird is that with game boost on, the temps get pretty high (97° c).
Gotcha.. It's trial and error when OCing.. Each chip is unique. Make sure Game Boost is off before trying these settings (of course). I got lucky with my 10700K, it is super easy to OC, with some decent settings. BTW, I had intermittent crashes when I used Game Boost myself. My kid has my 10700K now, and I upgraded to 11th gen when they came out. It's not as good as an OCer. I run my 11700K at 1.41V lol. As long as I just game on it, I'm not worried about being at 1.4v. Miss my 10700K lol. You'll get it dialed in eventually.
Try giving it more voltage, staying below 1.4v if you can. You can also try a lower Ring Frequency, and different LLC modes to see what happens. So many little toggles in there. I also swapped out my MSI MB for an Aorus. That was a mistake as well. I really liked the MSI BIOS.
nice video; where did you find the MSI background?
Thanks brotha! I honestly used Bing to search for 1440p MSI backgrounds. Bing image search seems to be a little better, for me, to grab backgrounds. I actually found something to compliment Bing on 🤣. The HDR of my monitor made this background pop, and I loved it. I'm going to upload another video this weekend of my rats nest of cables. I'm going to attempt to document my cleanup. It got messy as I added more accessories.
Hello,
Thanks for the video tutorial, it worked perfect for me, Thanks A Hug
Awesome! Have fun!
Maybe a little late but think bout getting a kraken 280 mm do you know what will be average temps OC?
Never too late man. Probably safe to say the 280 would perform about like my 360. It'd be a great option for an OC'd CPU. Go for it! Mine is still keeping my 10700k nice and cool. Zero issues. NZXT makes top tier products.
More vid sir! youve got new subscriber
Thanks buddy. I will be uploading a new video this weekend. I may even get to a 2nd upload by Monday.
Quality - thank you
Is ur voltage in idle the whole time at max? Cause mine doesnt go down... ive got the Tomahawk z490 and took the most of ur settings. CPU voltage 1,335v currently. BTW 2200p in R15 and 5300p in R20 :) (5,1GHz)
Looks like it stays pretty static for me set at Mode 3. If you drop the voltage, and set the "load line calibration" to a different mode it may be more dynamic. The load line mode will push voltage under load based on the mode you select. I selected steady voltage.
You sir, have literally the same PC configuration I do! core i7 10700k, corsair vengeance pro rbg 32gb 3200, msi z490 gaming edge wifi; well, I did the settings that you have and my pc booted without any issues, I ran cinebench; within 20 seconds, my temps are at 100C lol..... I'm using a corsair h100i gtx cooler (240mm) from my previous build (the cooler has been in use for 4.5 years), even at 100 C the computer was holding up and did not stop, I stop like half a minute into the cinebench starting. I definitely need a 360mm cooler!
I'm curious as to why you hit 100C so quickly. May not need a 360mm, but maybe just a fresh aio.. This X73 has worked very well for me.
Smiley TeK I kind of was wondering the same thing! This cooler was taken from my last build. It cooled a 4790k that was overclocked to 4.8ghz for 4.5 years!
Hmm. Have you tried to remount the cooler to the cpu, just in case? What orientation is the rad mounted?
Smiley TeK will try to remount, it’s mounted to the top of my case, with the tubing on my right as an exhaust setup
That's ideal from what I understand. Maybe shake the pump to try and release some bubbles, if any are caught in there. Good luck man
Do you have any idea why i cant disable EIST and Intel Turbo Boost @9:32. I was able to do everything except that.
i have the same motherboard and cpu, in IDLE without doing anything, the CPU goes to 800MHz or stays at 5100MHz ???
thats a good chip man! i have an asus rog strix z490-e gaming load line level 3 svid behavior set to best case scenario and xmp is on this is my setting for my i7 10700k at 5.1 core and 48 ring the overclock is dynamic and voltage peak under lite load is 1.39v and in cinebench r20 load voltage drops to about 1.3v and temps are around 80c
Thanks bro. I think I got lucky on this chip, for sure. It's excellent. That's awesome. 80C in R20 is about what I get as well, on my 2 hottest cores. That's good. Heavy gaming, I spike around 65C
I have the same mobo with the same processor !!! I must say i am ver happy !!!
How’s it running so far with this oc, and hiccups to date? Still stable?
My Bananaz bro, runnin' smooth as butter. No crashes, no stutters, nada. Although, I just ran into my motherboards limitations. I'm all outta USB headers.. 🤔 I'm recording my next video, and had to put it on hold until I get a few necessities... Gotta hit up Amazon real quick 🤣
I have the same phone and same CPU. That phone takes some nice photos and videos of my ducks. I use dragon center long enough to sort out my lights and then remove it. Sometimes the color pattern will stick. Earlier it didn't though. I just can't stand how sluggish it is! I kinda want to test out the ClockGen features in the bios.
*update* since using the latest BIOS not sure if related but can now have a stable 5.3ghz 50x ring with max temp of core able to achieve was 84 degrees while running prime95 & r20 & r23. All cores are within 5 degrees of each other and hyperthreading on running Windows 10 Insiders Build 2103. Previous max was 5.2ghz & 48x ring @ 1.35v and SA 1.25 but 5.1ghz I kept it on due to the occasional WHEA or other error reported by HWINFO64 . Any of you guys tried upping the core with same results? I have not had a single error and its been running for over 400 hours
Do you know what the idle voltage is on the cpu. Saw that it was stuck at 1.3 does it go lower. Feel like idle would be around .2 volts
Using these settings, vcore seems to stay pretty steady, right around where it's set. I would assume that changing the LLC mode and/or setting voltage to auto might affect the voltages at idle, but you lose Vcore override with Auto. I run 5.0Ghz all core "dynamic" at 1.325V LLC mode 3 these days. The frequency fluctuates, but not the vcore (really). Change the Load Line Calibration mode, and see if that goes in the right direction.
Thanks but im still confused how to figure out the proper voltage settings. Cant you just leave it on auto?
Yes, you can. I'd suggest keeping an eye on temps and the fluctuations in voltage, and manually locking the voltage at some point though. Just my opinion, and just in case auto tries to push it higher than you'd expect. Auto is a good starting point though.
Can u do it on 5.0?
What cpu cooler? Mine still at stock speed reached 95°C in Cinebench R20
NZXT Kraken X73 360mm
woah! thats hot
@@TheAcadianGuy I figured out that my old 240mm aio pump was not working properly. I've replaced it to a new 360mm aio and the temp went back to normal.
Can I use exactly the same specs if I've got: i7-10700k, SPC GRANDIS 3 (cooler), Patriot Viper Steel 16 GB, 3600MHz, CL17, MSI MPG Z490 GAMING PLUS?
Mainly I'm wondering if cooler will handle that.
Hmm. Not familiar with that cooler, but it looks pretty beefy. Give it a try. The CPU will protect itself and throttle if it hits 100C. I was hitting 95C with a smaller Cooler Master EVO Black in Cinebench R20 @ 5Ghz tbh. It's safe to try it out. It's all about voltage. The lower you can go on voltages with your OC, the better temps you'll get, but it may not be stable. You probably know that, but you just gotta find the sweet spot. Try 1.3v and work up by .005 if it crashes under stress.
thanks I will try this settings in my Asrock Taichi motherboar, hoping not to burn my pc and have similar settings in the asrock bios
If it's a 10700k, these settings should be perfectly fine. You can probably even drop the voltage a little. Just be sure to double check your settings, leave the thermal protections enabled (as I did), and have a proper cooling solution. I would recommend a 240mm aio, or maybe even Noctua's larger air cooler minimum. The CPU will protect itself and throttle if it hits 100°C. You can also set an AVX offset of -5 or so to be sure the clocks drop if the CPU is hit with AVX instruction. I totally forgot to mention that. I didn't set an offset. I'm confident in my 360mm Kraken's ability to cool the CPU adequately. I will be posting a video on my cooler this weekend. Subscribe if you'd like so you can see how I keep it nice and cool.

I have 5.0 GHz at 1.33-1.35v, other values just fail Prime95 test. is this high voltage at 5.0 GHz a problem?
I wouldn't think so. As long as your temps are OK. I wouldn't go over 1.4v. However, I run my 11700K at 1.417v 😆. It's fine though. My 11700K just isn't as good of a sample of silicon as my 10700K is. I'd rate my 11700K as a "bronze" sample and my 10700K as a strong "gold plated silver" sample. The 10700K isn't quite a "golden" sample, but it's pretty close.
How would this compare with the ASUS strix z490-G? Both in MATX. I can get this for £190 or the z490-G for £215 (it doesn’t have Wi-fi or Bluetooth)
All nice MBs. The MPG Gaming Edge has a 60A power delivery where the Strix Z490-G appears to have 50A. Both appear to be 12 phase.

This Intel Rapid Storage is for what? Sorry not understanded, btw thanks for great video, i have same CPU, same motherboard, will try this overclock soon with my Noctua cooler :)
I have intel optane memory in one of my M.2 slots which is paired with my mechanical hard drive. It gives it a little boost by acting as a cache for the drive. The read speeds are closer to SSD performance on programs I use often. Optane "learns" which files are used often, and holds them in "memory" for the drive, so to speak. I disable it with Intel Rapid Storage to avoid any issues if I crash, and have to reset CMOS. From what I've read, you always want to unpair Optane before resetting the "Raid/Optane" switch in the BIOS. Clearing CMOS may set my BIOS to default which may turn off "Optane Genie". In theory it could cause issues with the drive. It's just a hard drive full of games, but it would take hours to re-download them. They're huge these days 🤣. Modern Warfare is over 200GB. That's nuts!
@@TheSmileyTek You think i need the extra 4 pin from cpu for get the 5.1ghz? Because my psu is CX750 and dont have this extra 4pin
I'd think it would be best as well, to have all cpu power pins populated. I went with a Seasonic Focus Plus 850W modular. Luckily it had all of the cables I needed the the Z490 board. Although, power supplies above 650W have been harder to come across lately.

For sure. It may need a little more voltage. My 10700k is a pretty good sample. Definitely expect some crashes while dialing in an OC.

Do you think it will be safe to use your settings with kraken x63 aio ?
I have tried it and my system running unstable - frozen few times. We are on pretty much the same specs, temperatures are at the same level but as I said windows crashed two times when I was using your settings.
Hello, I just saw your question about using these settings with the x63. That cooler is adequate for sure. All CPUs are different. Try dropping to 50 rather than 51, or add .005 volt increments until it's stable. Staying under 1.4v is a common practice when you OC, but it comes down to temps. Mosfet and cpu core temps.

Thanks friend!
What would you say are the "danger zone" temps with this cpu ?
I'd say sustained 80s and above too often, would chip away at it a little faster. Although 100C tjmax is when it starts throttling, and that's per Intel specifications. I'd be ok with some 70s here and there, and low 80s at heavy load for short bursts. My target for gaming, I'm ok with 66ish spikes with low and high 50s sustained on the CPU. But, if you upgrade often, you may not even notice stability issues or degradation during short lived ownership, running at high temps. The CPU will protect itself if temperature protections aren't turned off. This is all just my opinion. The lower your temps (not counting LN2 or extreme OCing), the more stable and faster your silicon hardware will run. With my GPU, I go aggressive on the fan curve to keep my max temps around 70C sustained during heavy gaming. Not easy with a 3070FE, with stock cooling and an OC, but clock speeds stay where they're set until I hit about 74C. At that temp clocks drop a little on my GPU.
we want deep explanation on how to oc plz
So I did everything that was said in the video but it’s only showing 3 cores and 6 threads and I have the exact same CPU and on top of that it only stays at 5.1ghz until I open any application then it just drops down to around 4.8 - 4.7 ghz. I’ve also reseted everything to default in the BIOS and tried the exact same thing and it still isint working. Any advice ?
I figured out the cores problem but the 5.1ghz is still a problem with dropping to 4.8 ghz when I open any game application
Do you have any software "game booster" options set? If so, make sure those are turned off so they don't override your BIOS settings.
@@TheSmileyTek I’m not quite sure tbh, where do you think I could find these game booster options ? I’m quite new to PC in general so I’m a bit lost with everything 😂

I have a question is it the same if I have the msi mpg z490 gaming plus not gaming edge
For sure! They both have a 12+1+1 cpu power delivery. Good to go to OC using these settings. Your "mileage" may vary though. I consider my 10700k a pretty good sample of silicon. 1 year later, it's still running this OC 24/7, and it's running the same as always. No noticeable negative affect. Very happy with it.
@@TheSmileyTek thanks cause I was actually planning to use the same cpu too lol
@@uniseslayer4758 Nice! You'll love it. If you are going to install an aio and fan "hubs", you may need extra usb. Here's the one I grabbed from Amazon. www.amazon.com/dp/B08N4QVMJ5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_GTW9819VDXZ9KA1WK3P3
Ring ratio only let me go to 43 not 48 for some reason
Sure, millage may vary per silicon sample. I have a 11700k now, and to hit 5ghz with it, I'm at 1.419v and 43 ring. That's higher than I'd like to be on voltage, and lower on ring, but my 11700k isn't as good a sample as my 10700k. So now my son has my 10700k and 3070 in his PC, since I was finally able to get a 3080 for msrp by entering the Newegg Raffles for 5 months lol.

Great video but you could at least explain what some of it is.
Hey I recently built a pc with a i5 10600k and msi z490 motherboard do you think these settings will work in terms of overclocking my 10600k? I'm new to manual overclocking, my last pc I just used the auto overclock
For the most part. May have to go higher on the voltage for a 5 or 5.1ghz though. I'd start at 1.35v (total guess) @ 5 or 5.1Ghz and move the voltage up or down from there( by 0.01). Staying below 1.4v ideally. Once it runs a quick benchmark at reasonable temps, I'd test it for stability with something like Aida64 for a few hours and then run a few back to back stress tests, along with the software you usually use. Maybe play a few demanding games or something too. The 10600k is a really good CPU.
@@TheSmileyTek ok thank you I will definitely try that out. If I have any trouble I'll leave a comment. I appreciate your time in helping me with this.
For sure, anytime!
@@TheSmileyTek ok I think I have a stable overclock of 4.9ghz with 46 ring, 1.280v, Avx -3. My Temps are low to mid 90s. Thats the best I've gotten in Temps it seems anything in 1.3 makes them go to 100. I've done cinebench R20 and Linpack Extreme for stress tests and Cpu-Z. I'm not sure if this means it's good or not when I play warzone I have Cpu-z running on my other monitor and the Ghz and Ratio(8-48) fluxes lower is that normal?
@@TheSmileyTek the 90s and 100 Temps were only during stress tests not normal operation, even when playing warzone they didn't reach 90
How much lower can I have the voltage at at this level of clockspeed?
That's something you'll have to play with. Specific to each chip, but I've had no issues at 1.33v @ 5.1 and 1.325v @ 5.0. There's probably some room there, to drop the voltage, if you play with the load line calibration and test it in AIDA64 for an hour or more.
Smiley TeK i have the same 10700k withe the same mobo the only difference is the cooler i have a x63
I’ve got this motherboard and same processor. I’m running a 240ml cooler master cpu cooler. Trying to get to maybe 4.4ghz. Recommendations?
Should run at 4.7Ghz right out of the box. That's 300mhz above 4.4. Are you going for 5.4Ghz? It is possible, but you would need some pretty high voltages and some major cooling, unless you have an excellent sample of silicon. I can push mine to 5.2Ghz or 5.3Ghz all core with manageable temps, but I don't gain anything noticeable. I've found 5.0Ghz (1.32V LLC mode 3) is the sweet spot for my silicon. Snappy and easy for my aio to keep cool under any circumstance so far.
@@TheSmileyTek out the box it says 3.8ghz. Unless I did something wrong? I only game I don’t do anything else. 4.7 would be great too. I appreciate the reply!
@@danielmora3843 For sure. No, you're correct on 3.8. That's just base clock. Should hit 4.7Ghz out of the box, before the temps get too high. You can follow this video, and set the core ratio to 44 and ring ratio to 41. Maybe try a 1.315V or 1.32V. Maybe even lower at 4.4. Or go for 47 core and 44 ring for a little more snap. 4.7Ghz is a good target for air cooling.
@@TheSmileyTek I am a noob. I’m gonna try this. So would this make my base 4.4? To be honest I don’t even know if I should be doing this. I am a total noob lol. But I see everyone doing it and rave about it.
@Daniel Mora No worries. Your CPU will protect itself from damage. Worst case, your PC just reboots if it doesn't like the settings or it gets too hot. Don't worry though. Z490 is made for this stuff. If you set the ratio to 4.4 "dynamic" the cpu frequency will drop down when idling and rise to 4.4 under load. If you set to "fixed" it will stay where you set the core ratio. 4.4 in this case. Also, you can search "power management" settings in Windows. Balanced will allow fluctuations in frequency (along with other power functions), and "performance" will keep everything perked up and probably minimize response times ever so slightly. It's all about temperatures. Maintaining reasonable temps, 20C to 75C in my opinion, is the key to longevity. But, running this CPU at 5Ghz probably won't have any negative affect until the CPU is years old. You'll probably upgrade before that ever happens. I was nervous my first time too. This stuff isn't cheap, but I learned that it will let you know if you go too far. You just boot back up, back off a little, and you're back in action no problem. You got this. Just have fun playing with your toys. 😁
Hi. I also have an i7 10700k with Gaming Carbon WIFI. I have a problem. With the latest BIOS update I can't set per core overclock. I set 4 core 5 ghz and 4 core 4,9 ghz but I always end up with 4,7 ghz all core in BIOS and windows ? Do you know what causing this problem ? I think the BIOS for my motherboard need a fix.
Hey buddy. Thanks for watching the video. Sorry about the crumby quality. I just wanted to share. On the per core clock settings, is it possible the Intel XTU is overriding them? Dragon Center was overriding my settings at first. A Windows task was running Dragon Center settings. Are the clocks right when you first start Windows, and then they all drop to 4.7 after a few seconds, or are they all 4.7 right when you log in to Windows?
@@TheSmileyTek Thx for the reply. I don't have intel XTU app. Clock speeds maxes at 4,7 Ghz on idle and under load. I don't have any power limits. I think this bios is bugged. One thing I have discovered that when I click Game Boost option, my cpu fans spins at max speed for no reason. Temp and vcore stays the same.
Yes. Game Boost sets a +1 to your clocks, and runs the cpu cooler at 100%. I plan to investigate the per core issue tonight. I noticed that my PC did the exact same thing. They all dropped to 4.7.. Very interesting. No worries though, we'll look into it, and figure it out.

What's your temps? Set your CPU ratio mode to dynamic. There is also a settings in Windows 10. Go to windows power settings, and select a balanced power plan.

That's excellent! Is that just gaming? Have you ran Cinebench R20 a few times to see when the liquid temps start to rise? 120mm vs 360mm rad, 360mm would just gain you a little more time under heavy load due to the volume of liquid. Short loads seem to be the same for both rad sizes. Some video renders I've ran, can put a sustained load in the cpu, but they're never long enough to raise the liquid temps more than a degree or two.

@@TheSmileyTek also I'm unsure of my voltage and llc, I haven't adjusted any of those settings
Oh yeah. You'll need more surface area to dissipate the heat coming off of an overclocked 10700K. Those temps are the same I was getting with a 212 Evo air cooler. The Noctua should work way better. I'd suggest trying an all core 5.0Ghz OC at 1.325V, LLC 3. That's what I run 24/7. No issues.

Think I can achieve this oc with an artic esports duo air cooler?
I'd think your temps may push a little high under load, but it won't hurt to try it. The CPU will protect itself from overheating. I thermal throttled with a Cooler Master EVO Black installed. Looks like the Artic Esports is beefier than my Evo was. Give it a shot, and share your temps if you want. I'd love to hear how it goes.

I think it would be fine. It's a 12 +1 +1 phase 60 amp VRM power delivery system. I'd recommend the MEG Unify as a 10900k minimum, but I know this board would handle it just fine. I can go 5.2Ghz, and probably 5.3 with the 10700k. The VRMs only went into the 60C range when I ran Prime95 smallest ffts (a power virus).
My xmp file not working
Is your RAM XMP? Download CPU-z and see if the "SPD" tables show XMP profiles. Then you'll know for sure.
Is this board better than Z490 Tomahawk? Sorry I am still noob
They look pretty close to me, as far as the 12+1+1 phase power delivery system. I haven't noticed any obvious differences in my short time looking at the MAG lineup. I was looking for integrated WiFi just in case I ever needed it, but of course you can add a WiFi card for that. MPG (Performance Gaming) line. MAG (Functionality) line. Per MSI, the MPG lineup is slightly above the MAG lineup, with MEG at the top "best overclocking" board. Technically, MSI considers the MPG to be above the MAG. Hope that helps.
thanks a lot!
@@masamiakita993 Anytime my friend.

TLDR: Gaming edge is slightly better for overclocking
AKA the bell whiff
Don't know why I threw my gamer tags in there 🤣. Just sharing my settings when 10th gen was new.
Where can I find heat temps
I use HWiNFO www.hwinfo.com/
Those are not true temps, and this can be dangerous. The proper way to run temp tests is to run them for at least an hour continuously, preferably few hours. This gives the cpu a chance to heat up over time (notice how the longer you ran it, the hotter the temps got). Since a few Cinebench R20 tests got your cpu up to 80°C, I would say after an hour you'd be very close to 90°C, too high for my comfort. Try lowering the voltage by .05v, then test again for an hour. If stable, lower by another .05v, test again. When it gets unstable and starts to fail, go up by .01v until it doesn't fail, and you will have found the lowest possible voltage for your chip. Lower voltage = lower temps 😉
Those are true temps for an R20 run. Nothing dangerous shown in this video. Pretty standard. R20 runs AVX, so a spike in temps is normal. Nothing I run daily loads the CPU like R20 does. An 80C spike running AVX is normal as well (with an OC in my case). An AVX offset is all that's really needed if one doesn't feel comfortable with the spike caused by AVX. I ended up settling at 5.0Ghz, 1.320V, LLC 3 for daily use. I'm starting to realize I got pretty lucky with this silicon. Thanks for your input. Sounds like you're having as much fun as I am playing with our toys. I spent hours, over a few days running the proper stress tests getting to the settings I currently use. While gaming, my temps run between 45-65. That's perfect for me. What LLC Vcore and ratio does your CPU run best at?
@@TheSmileyTek I've been considering OCing my chip but haven't tried it yet, have been trying to see what results people are getting before I give it a shot. 65°C during gaming is great though, I'd be comfortable with that. You're right that Cinebench is a different type of load and heavier than gaming, I'm used to doing prime95 for 8hrs for a full time long term OC stability check, but that's how I learned about a dozen years ago lol. Some games give heavier loads than others, so if my cpu can handle hours of prime95 then I know no game will give me any issue. You'd also be surprised how many times an OC fails after an hour or two of testing, so with 8 hours it makes me feel comfortable enough knowing it's stable as can be. Everyone clocks differently tho hehe, like they say it's an art, not a science, at the end of the day there are different needs for different users and use cases, so everyone had their own way of clocking 🙂
I have very similar build 10700k with MPG Gaming Plus in my case I run 5 GHz with 1.27v but for prime stable need 1.28v
MOS = VRM on MSI motherboard ;)
Nice! I haven't tried to see how low I can go on the voltage yet, but I definately plan to. MOS and VRM can be read separately. I have a thermocouple I plan to use on the "middle" VRM just out of curiosity. It would be some work to disconnect the MB and remove the heat sink though. Maybe I could read from the back of the MB? I've been lazy 🤣.
@@TheSmileyTek Yea for Asus you can read the VRM and for MSI u can read the MOS, but at the final of the day VRM is just the entire design, MOSFETS are more accurate to read actually.

🤔 I have noticed that I got pretty lucky with my chip. It seems to be able to run at a little bit lower voltages than some others. Have you tried bumping up the voltage a little? Start at 1.4v and work your way down. When it crashes, bump it up 0.005 and test it out. Try to stay below 1.4v if you can, but going over a little won't hurt anything, as long as your temps are ok.
