To add to my previous video, and to make your test sessions a whole lot easier, I wanted to share some of my tips and settings for extreme overclocking on the Z690 DARK Kingpin, using subzero cooling methods such as LN2.
First of all make sure you use the stock socket ILM or the so called clamping mechanism that comes with the motherboards, at least for the initial tests. I did face very different cold bugs when I ran with stock ILM vs Custom Bracket so don't copy my mistakes.
The whole procedure is pretty simple for most CPUs. The setting table to to get to full pot temperatures is pretty basic for the vast majority of CPUs. You mainly need to set FLL Override to Mode 1-3, high enough VCore, usual sweetspot for multicore tests is between 1.6-1.65v, and Core PLL, Ring PLL and Atom PLL at around 1.1v. This is usually enough for most chips.
Atom voltage usually likes to be between 1.45-1.5v for the best possible ATOM/E-Core clock speeds. You can play a little bit with the Core PLL if you face weird clock walls early on. Try 1.1v first, then AUTO, then forced stock value of 0.9v and high value of 1.2-1.4 as last resort. If nothing else works for you and you still face cold bug very close to the max temperature, try very high Ring PLL of 1.7-1.8v. This was the key on my 12600K.
