Sup guys!
I recently bought an MSI Katana 15 equipped with the i7-13620H processor. While browsing online, I stumbled upon a video showcasing similar hardware, but with the previous-generation i7-12650H. I attempted to replicate the voltage tweaks demonstrated in the video since they improved the performance by alot.
To my disappointment, this modification showed an unexpected outcome. Instead of the anticipated performance boost, my Cinebench 23 Multi-Core-Score dropped from the average 15311 to a mere 14500 at best.
HWiNFO64 is revealing a paradoxical increase in both clock speed (max. 4800mhz) and wattage consumption (max. 101W), despite the overall performance drop in Cinebench.
​
**Here’s a breakdown of the tweaks I implemented:**
* Overclocking enabled in BIOS
* Undervolt protection disabled
* P-Core Voltage reduced by -100 mV
* E-Core Voltage reduced by -50 mV
* Ring Voltage reduced by -50 mV
​
Since undervolting appeared ineffective in Intel XTU, I maintained the default settings.
​
As a reference, I followed each step outlined in the video at the specified timestamp: [https://youtu.be/3fix5tAY6Rg?t=4268](https://youtu.be/3fix5tAY6Rg?t=4268)
​
Am I overlooking a crucial detail? I’ve even disabled Core Isolation and ensured VM Platform remains deactivated.
As a novice in this domain. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance!
