UEFI Performance Upgrade, OC'ing a 6700k

Hey everybody, I was curious about OC...

 

What does 'performance upgrade' in UEFI Bios actually do? I set mine to 100%, and my CPU is clocking to 4.7ghz. I noticed that the stock memory of 24 went down to 21. In HW monitor, the CPU volts max at 1.332 and my temps under load go to about... 59-60 degrees - Idle @ 23. (I have a nice corsair h80i v2).

 

Originally in UEFI, I had performance upgrade set to auto, and only changed CPU upgrade to 4.6. I had watched the LTT video on OC'ing a 6700k and my numbers all seem right. I did not manually change the volts, just left it all to auto. Everything is running fine and fast.

Auto voltage is usually a terrible idea. What's your vcore?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
