4 matched DDR4 sticks can cost more than twice that of a pair for a reason.4000MHz runs fine with it's default profile with only two sticks in the MB. With 4 sticks it does not.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried a couple of higher voltage levels without success.XMP I will use partial profile with some settings on Auto and detected on boot, XMP II is complete DIMM profile.
Try to raise RAM voltage if it doesn't boot, mine was unstable on default XMP with Z390.
Dayum!!Alderlake 12600k testing various configurations. Everything is overclocked and stability tested with OCCT Large/Avx2 Extreme. For Shadow of the Tomb Raider, pay attention to the "CPU Game" average, not the main score. For FF Endwalker, Overall score is fine. HT = Hyperthreading Pcores/Ecores/Cache. Where ecores = disabled: Pcores/Cache.
Config 1: HT ON. Ecores ON. 53/41/44. 16/4200 SR mem
Config 2: HT OFF. Ecores ON. 53/41/44. 16/4200 SR mem
Config 3: HT ON. Ecores OFF. 53/50. 16/4200 SR mem
Config 4: HT OFF. Ecores OFF. 53/50. 16/4200 SR mem
VS 9900k HT OFF. 52/48. 16/4400 SR mem *look at CPU Game Average to compare*
Cool. How much performance in sim titles did you gain?@RasmusP
This where I ended up with this. I don't think I can do much more for a daily setup tbh:
Voltages are adaptive with 1.40 bios set with llc4. SA = 1.27v DRAM = 1.54v SA and IA Cep enabled. Avx2 guardband 100 and some sub voltages which are very chip specific like L2, pll's, term, etc

Wow. I need to study what you have done and try to get max performance. I also enjoy the challenge of getting the most out of my systems.The pc is for my kid who loves minecraft. I just tuned it for fun but it paid off immensely in minecraft. Just using the igpu, he went from 50 to 80fps in a spot I used for testing performance jumps. Saved us from having to hunt down a gpu!
In the meantime, a buddy who does reviews for a RU publication did some testing with ACC:
Probably lots of stuff happening at that spot and everything running in one single cpu thread?went from 50 to 80fps in a spot I used for testing performance jumps. Saved us from having to hunt down a gpu!
Which Z690 motherboards are easier or harder to overclock or undervolt?
There were complaints last November about Gigabyte BIOS not ready for prime time,
while ASUS’ AI overclocking seems well regarded,
but ASUS ROG Strix Z690-A or ASUS PRIME Z690-A VRM should suffice for 12600k but not 12900k
while MSI MPG Z690 Carbon should suffice for all,
but MSI gets dinged for nonstandard BIOS settings terminology
Is it worth overclocking for sim racing? How much fps improvement would you get from overclocking a 12700k? I have assumed it was minimum and have not tried it on my 12700k.Which Z690 motherboards are easier or harder to overclock or undervolt?

Simply take your fps and scale it with frequency.Is it worth overclocking for sim racing? How much fps improvement would you get from overclocking a 12700k? I have assumed it was minimum and have not tried it on my 12700k.
I thought sim games like ACC were more limited by the GPU and CPU overclocking didn’t do much.Simply take your fps and scale it with frequency.
85 fps @ 4.5 GHz
5 GHz => (85/4.5)*5 = 94.44 fps
The issue is that the newer gens boost very high on default and overclocking can be difficult since you can't get the single cores to boost much higher and you also can't get that boost clock on all cores stable that easily.
reportedly about 2% for a 12600k on games using 4 coresworth overclocking
