13600k speeds

[Verta]

hey there, just got a 13600k. the boost speed hasnt gone above 4.9ghz even though it is 5.1ghz. any ideas? ive heard ram effects it.

I have a 13600k as well and I have had the same problem. What applications are you using to stress test?

Do you have XTU installed?

I was peaking at 4.99 Ghz before I downloaded XTU and did some very basic overclocking.

Now my max is 5.50Ghz

i dont think i can overclock on my motherboard

oh.

[Heliian]

For troubleshooting, please post full system specs. 

 

Did you update bios after you swapped the cpu?

What motherboard do you have?

[Verta]

im still getting around 4.8 max now

it is a whole different motherboard. specs are an rx 6600, 13600k, gigabyte x ddr4 b660 gaming motherboard and 32gb of 2666mhz hyperx fury

Did you update the bios to the newest version? 

 

It may not have shipped with the latest that is needed for the 13th Gen CPUs.

updated to version f21 and the speeds are a bit better but still not max and generally sttle around the 4.8ghz speed

Grab CPUID CPU-Z and HWiNFO64, run single core and multicore in Cinebench R23 and observe the clocks during (or after as HWiNFO64 will record the highest clock hit while it was running). You're most likely either in a multicore workload so it isn't hitting the peak advertised boost (which is usually for single core only), or Windows just hasn't done anything where it needed the CPU to hit full turbo. Make sure you're using the High Performance power plan in Control Panel also.

Open xtu and have a look at the graph and see where you sit with temp/speed/usage.   Also check if there are any limits highlited.

That is correct. The B660 chipset does not support overclocking. 

 

Make sure the core C States are enabled in the BIOS. That is how to get maximum speed when lightly loaded out of a locked motherboard.

Xtu doesent open and says my board doesn’t support it

this has been a thing since well almost forever. You'll almost never see the max rated boost unless it's specifically a single core workload, best to just go by all-core.

 

For example my 13700k is rated for up to 5.4ghz on a single core but it usually is just 5.3ghz all the time. If you look at logs, there are blips to 5.4ghz but never sustained unless it's like cinebench or cpuz single core test.

 

My 10900k, 9900k, 8700k, and pretty much all of my other CPUs do the same thing. Just look at what the all-core is and expect that.

An all core overclock is only possible if you have an unlocked K series CPU running on a Z series motherboard. His motherboard has the B660 chipset. It does not support an all core overclock.

That's not what I meant; I mean just consider your chip's maximum realistic frequency to be the all-core factory frequency. For example the 10900K claims "up to 5.3ghz" but in practice, expect 4.9ghz (or 4.8 with TVB) real-world, within the PL window.

Go bios and disable e cores as most programs are averaging the speed of all the cores and the e cores are hella slower 

 

use something like hwinfo to check
