Care to check over my HWInfo?

This is my most recent PassMark score. Mind you, this is with HT off. CPU score went down about 3k points, but everything else went up a bit. Are the K processors also locked at a BCLK of 102.9?

Otherwise, do you see any low hanging fruit that I can tune to pick up some speed or do things look OK? Bios is the latest microcode, and it looks like the i7 didn't pull more than 1.37V

Specs
14700K (Bclk 102.9)
Lexar DDR5 7200Mhz CL32 32 gig
990Pro Samsung
4070 Super (Asus Dual OC with +200 core and +1200 Mem)
MOBO Asrock B760M Riptide (weakest part of system, turning off HT keeps system from Power/Voltage Throttling)
Looks like max wattage with HT off is about 220W

Here is more info from Hwinfo

That's because you only can surpass it on Z motherboards. Intel are doing that since 2011 (technically, there was a P67 chipset...).

Apart from RAM timings tuning and software-specific adjustments (e.g. lowering NPC population in a game) there's literally nothing you can do to squeeze more from it.

Thanks for the info. I'm gonna switch out that riptide for a Z790. It's a quite decent entry level board, but I wanna squeeze some more out of the 14700K
 
Careful there. 13th and 14th series are prone to fail so ideally don't go harder than 1.45 V on CPU voltage.
 
No idea, never checked because I'm on a lowly 12400F and it seems we're stuck together for a long time. But if it in fact doesn't let you go above 1.4 then you're safe but sorry, you won't be able to get noticeable boost over 5.5 GHz at this voltage. In intensive applications at the very least.
 
Agreed, I was thinking the most recent microcode wouldn't let them go above 1.4?

They still go up to 1.55. Which is the "safe" peak voltage. But you have a Core i7, which has milder clock speeds and no TVB support. You'll be safe. Just upgrade the BIOS to the latest version with either 0x129 or 0x12B (preferably the latter) microcode.

I have the latest Asrock BIOS with the 0x12B. Even during heavy stressing HWinfo states 1.405 or so, so I believe I'm well within the safe range.

Yeah don't worry, you're not gonna have any issues. Largest majority of CPUs that dropped dead were i9's afaik anyway
 
Ultimately I was just looking to see if anything stuck out that I should change. I did tighten timings a bit more on the ram

7200mhz CL32-40-40-82 @1.5V
