Edit1: The score should be flipped: 31.696 score to the right one
Benchmark video [ Battlefield 6 and Cinebench score]
Hey guys, I was messing around with my CPU power settings in BIOS today, following a Reddit guide about setting a "Negative Adaptive Offset." I tweaked some stuff in the AI Tweaker tab on my ASUS Z790-P with an i7-14700 (non-K), and the results were kinda interesting.
I set my adaptive offset to -0.13mV, with both PL1 and PL2 at 220. Then I adjusted two options:
- Synced ACDC Loadline with VRM Loadline and IA VR Voltage
Tested in Battlefield 6 and Cinebench R23 both gave similar results in fps and score.
When I enabled ACDC Loadline sync and set IA VR voltage to 1400, temps dropped perfectly to around 58–64°C (with 4.7ghz). But when I turned both off and left them on auto, temps went up to 75°C with higher clocks ( around 5.2-5.3ghz) even though FPS and Cinebench scores barely changed.
So what should I keep in this case? And can anyone explain why performance stays about the same even with higher clocks? I’m really trying to learn new things.
Here is my full spec:
CPU: i7 14700
CPU Cooler: Thermalright Royal Knight 120
MB: ASUS PRIME Z790-P
PSU: Cooler Master MWE 750 Bronze – V2 – 750W
GPU: Asus TUF Gaming RTX 5070 12GB GDDR 7 OC [ OC Profile: Core Clock +200 / Memory Clock: +1600 / Power Limit: +106% / Fan Speed: 73% ]
RAM: Kingston FuryBeast 32gb Dual DDR5 5600Mhz [XMP Enabled]
