Hello ladies and gentlemen.
I hope the day is finding you all well. I just have a question. I’m overclocking my 14900KS on a custom loop. I’ve got it to the point to where it’s just barely hitting 90°C and I’m keeping two of my cores at 63 and the rest at 59. I’m pretty happy with that.

I’d like to stop it from thermal throttling at 90C though. How can I do that?
Do I have to change C states or do I have to manually go into TVB and adjust things independently?
Or can I set TVB to disabled? I just want to completely disable CPU and Ring thermal throttling at 90 C lol.
I’ve got most of the stuff I need set up in bios, but this one thing is making me nutty.

Setting the CPU temp max to 105° didn’t stop it and I never get close to that in testing anyway.

Thanks and happy Friday everyone!
UPDATE:
So I found a step toward the solution? I just used Intel XTU, enabled TVB and disabled the steps and set it to 100° C.
However in Hardware monitor I can see it is still downclocking my CPU..
So uh… Yea… Idk..
Maybe a step in the right direction.
Perhaps TVB manual adjustments in bios is the way to go?

When you're not sure (we are not sure) what settings are changed, which are not, clear cmos and start over.

At stock, it should be hitting 100c. You need to change nothing. Enable xmp. Use balanced mode in windows. Do not enable XTU to apply the profile when windows loads, keep the profile save in bios once you have it set up and working well.

For 13/14th I think it's easier to gauge what temps should be at X wattage. For example the 13900K I use is all-core 5.5 / 4.3 GHz. It loads at around 320watts in the 90c range for the custom loop I'm using. Less voltage, lower wattage and lower temps is the goal. But you have to fight it not being stable if the voltage is too low.
