Like what is the reason they are so significantly locked down? If anything lock voltages to safe values to completely mitigate the idiots that might accidentally set 1.8v instead of 1.08v. Like max voltage of 1.4 or something. And why isn’t Dram overclockable at all? I just don’t see a good reason for why they are locked down so hard. Maybe longevity? They are scared that dead laptops will start popping up? As long as they don’t allow crazy voltage values I can’t imagine that being an issue.

No matter what I do I can’t stabilize FGR off. Has anyone else experienced this on Intel? And if so how did you fix it?

MOBO is the ASUS z690-F. Voltage under load is 1.2 with droop and 1.3 in light load scenarios. Should I be worried about any sort of degradation with these settings? Can I push voltage even more for 5.6 or 5.7 and not worry about degradation? What's a maximum safe manual voltage for these chips? I'm battling light load, line gaming where the CPU stays at a very cool 60c or so and all core where the CPU shoots to 270w and hits 85-90c on all p cores. Thinking about lowering max wattage to around 225 or so.

Can someone PLEASE help me with this. I for the life of me can’t get all cores to lock to a specific frequency and stay there. Like I can get them to lock in light load scenarios but the moment a load hits BOOM. CPU downclocks. And temp isn’t an issue. I’m running a 420mm AIO and max temp is 75c.
