June 3, 20233 yr Hi guys, I have an Intel i-7 13700k overclocked to 5.6Ghz; however, as I use my MSFS, the speed never passes 5.40Ghz. How can I make it reach 5.Ghz? How can I force it to run at 5.6Ghz ? - Motherboard: MSI Z690 - 32Gb RAM
June 4, 20232 yr what is your CPU load per core? Felix Win11 + Intel i5 [email protected] GHz (overclocked) + 64GB DDR4 RAM@3600MHz + 24GB GeForce RTX3090 + M.2 SSD 2TB + 1TB SSD + 2TB HDD + VelocityOne Flightstick + HOTAS Thrustmaster (throttle only) + Saitek ProFlight Rudder Pedals + Meta Quest 3
June 4, 20232 yr Unless you have super CPU and case cooling your not going to get that, even Billziod a tester had a 13900K running at that speed by turning off all the E cores and no memory XMP. Heat throttling will kick in. Edited June 4, 20232 yr by G-RFRY Raymond Fry.
June 4, 20232 yr The CPU will be downclocked from the max o/c freq based on a number of factors--temps, number of loaded cores, and power. Depending on your motherboard/BIOS options, you can usually override them, but you'll need to keep the heat under control. You can approach the heat issue by disabling HT (not really needed with 16 hardware cores at work), shutting down unneeded blocks of E-cores, manual voltage tweaking, and of course use of a very good CPU cooling solution. That said, I'd not drive myself too crazy trying to squeeze out an extra 3.7% of CPU clock speed, especially if you're not running exceptionally fast RAM.
