Asking for help with cpu overclocking

[RC_Offical]

Hi, I recently bought a i5 13600k and I am using the intel ETU, but when I try to set it to stay overclocked after a reboot it says that i need to turn on CPU watchdog in my BIOS, How do i do this, I have looked all over my BIOS and cannot find it (PS I have a Asus Prime z790-a Wifi motherboard)

IMO you're probably better off just copying your settings from XTU and just putting them in the BIOS rather than having to have XTU open in the background. All the settings from XTU should be available right in the BIOS and that way you don't have to worry about it not running on startup. 

 

Granted, I'm from the X58 days of OC, so I'm more comfortable in the BIOS than I am with utilities like XTU (only ones like that I've ever gotten to work are Dragon Power, MemTweakIt, and ASRock Formula Drive, and the only one I actually used for any length of time was MemTweakIt), so keep that in mind when I say that.

I would prefer to use XTU since I don’t want to accidentally break my cpu or make it unstable can I turn on the watchdog timer or not on my ASUS motherboard
