Aurora R12, cannot overclock i7-11700KF?
Default Alienware motherboard with i7-11700KF, RTX 3060 Ti. So I installed OC driver and AWCC, but I cannot get the 'Advanced' tabs under CPU for some reason? I also don't see an option in my BIOS for Intel Boost Technology, despite it saying it's on with Intel Extreme Utility tuner.
So how do I go about overclocking my CPU? Do I have to manually set up a custom OC profile in the BIOS? If so, what would safe options be to do that? I want to get at least 4.5MHz instead of being capped at 3.6MHz.

Ultimately, I'm trying to prevent it from hitting 1.45Voltage entirely. Hence why I tried setting it to 1.285V by default. I wanted it to at most hit 1.3V. The fact it fluxuates to 1.45/1.5 seems like a reason to worry.

There doesn't seem to be a way to lock it to 1.3 Voltage, and even when I changed voltage to 1.285V for OC 1 and then the default -50 mV, it still jumps to 1.5V for some reason. I would have imagined that means it caps at 1.285V ?

Well I would start a new overclock profile and not mess with the factory Overclock1. When Do my cpu overclock profile to say like 4.99ghz right on the edge of green I test and save and name that profile I never have to mess with the voltage that is way to advance for me. Voltage will fluctuate !
