I’m pretty new to overclocking and undervolting, but issues with Intel’s 13th/14th-gen CPUs have pushed me into it. About two years ago, I built a PC with a 13th-gen i7, which developed issues over time. I was relieved when Intel acknowledged this problem and upgraded me to a 14th-gen i9. Knowing these CPUs have their quirks, I decided to play it safe and applied an undervolt following Buildzoid’s guide for ASUS Z790 boards with the 14900K. It’s been running well, but now I’m seeing some issues I’d love your input on:

after updating bios and going from the x129 microcode to the x12b i am seeing some odd behaviour in HWinfo:

All p-cores are boosting to 6100 mhz during idle

Elevated temperatures on all cores during CB23 - multiple hitting max temps

Hardware:

14900K

Asus prime Z790P wifi BIOS Version: 1802

Undervolt:

LLC Level 6

AC/DC Loadlines synced at 0.49

Voltage limit of 1400 mv adaptive svid with a negative offset of 110mv

Any insights or advice on addressing these issues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help!
