Undervolting an i7-13700KF

I have tried to undervolt my CPU after getting trashy temps with an 360mm AIO but now I've found an option saying "Core input voltage" which sits at 1.8V at the moment. Should i drop that?

I don't think a 13700kf is a graphics card but ok.

 

What do you consider "trashy temps"

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

That core input voltage sounds like VCCIN, it's what powers the integrated voltage regulator that powers most of the internal voltages like VDDQ TX and VCCSA. If anything, you want to raise that voltage to 2V as that should increase efficiency slightly, though just leave it at 1.8V and worry about VCore only.

i didnt say that it is a gpu and i got temps of about 100°C and throttling down to 4.0 GHz

would it be safe to drop that by about 100mV?

This is very much a CPU specific thing, there are some chips out there that can't do -50mV, while there are some that can do -250mV with ease. You have to find the limits of your own chip. It is safe to undervolt by that much, it just depends on how good a CPU you have.

You posted this in the GPU section of the forum, hence that comment.

Looking for VCore or something didnt give any results... but I found some other options which i can set to "Offset mode" now I'm really confused...

Yeah, you want to set to offset mode then set negative offsets. 

 

What board are you using?

That seems like a cooler issue

Try remounting the cooler

1st rev Arctic liquid freezer II ARGB

 

the manual states, it isnt compatible with my board... maybe thats the issue since i had some clearance issues

I dropped 0.22v off my 13600k and dropped 34c but you need to do it in small steps and test stability on the way

-13600kf 

- 4000 32gb ram 

-4070ti super duper
