Backing up i5-14600KF overclock settings for Enshrouded?
During heavy survival-base rendering, the i5-14600KF suffered from transient voltage drops, causing the frequency to wobble and creating visible micro-stutters. I compared undervolting against just pushing the clock speed. I used the Intel XTU stress test to monitor the voltage curve and tracked the core frequency via a tuning panel, narrowing it from 2430 - 2760 MHz to a stable 2570 - 2640 MHz. This managed to keep the thermal peaks around 70 - 73 ℃. I can actually feel that the exhaust air isn't as scorching now, though the power draw is still a beefy 182 - 208 W. There's still a bit of coil whine at night and the fans are always humming. I used MSI Afterburner to verify the safety temperature curve is smooth, so even if the BIOS resets, I can restore the config. The system is finally stable. I hit a thermal wall during the first attempt, but the second calibration smoothed everything out. The game feels way more responsive now.
