Aurora R12, question about overclock
So I just got my Aurora R12 today, super excited. I got the i7-11700KF and RTX 3080 version with liquid cooling. I am just wondering what is the best overclock setting? The highest CPU GHz I got is like 4.79GHz. I can't ever reach near 5 or even just 4.9, any suggestions?
Thank you

I've done that, but you will get better setting at the Profile 2 it's a 4.9GHZ hard set. Your cinabench scores will be higher etc. If you do that custom 50/5.0ghz it will drop to 4.6ghz underload. Just a FYI and many many hours of testing.

Custom OC in the bios, set it to 50 for 5.0ghz. I run a 50 voltage offset on adaptive and obviously my power limits are set at 0

Starters Don't even use AWCC (Alienware Command Center) it's poor. I only use it for visual and system fan controls I set mine to Performance Temp.
Use MSI for your video card.
Use the Bios setting to Overclock. I set mine to profile 2 not sure what your i7 has so test there. Our chips are HOT 125w so we dont have much to OC without a better watercooler sadly. You can play with your OC there. Also a small tip is when the system restarts after making a OC change if the screen is blank and seems it wont start just his CRT+ALT+DEL and it will restart and boot into windows.
Also ALWAYS make sure XMP is set and Resizable Bar enabled.
Hope this gives ya some insight. Cheers!
