Contrary to being on here since forever, I completely fell off the scene of memory oc and cpu and what not.

12400f runs hot. Stock cooler of course. Are these easily undervolted? Also, I have no idea what the hell is gear mode... I figure it's the memory controller has to be 1:1 in orde to be gear 1 right?

When I moved it to 1:1, pc wouldn't boot.

I am assuming this is abysmal, is this correct?

After setting XMP2 settings, I get of course better clocks:

But I need help understanding wtf is GEAR 1 2 3 or whatever and how do I spot it?

Also, after benching and checking temps, it goes as high as 90 C and it doesnt even go to 4.4GHZ like its supposed to the 12400f. The stock cooler is hot trash.

I can relate. After sorting out a system the years can start to pass on what used to be stored and updated in immediate recall.

1:1 memory OC is an AMD Infinity Fabric deal. Gear 1 XMP profile on Intel should be very easy to set and not worry about actual OC.
Does your RAM list a second or third profile under XMP?

As for temps with stock cooler. Disable Asus Performance Enhancement. You want stock Intel settings and to improve on the cpu operating range in other ways.

I disabled it but cpu gets as hot as 90°C and it doesn't excess 3.7Ghz so it's throttling.

I of course placed new thermal paste and still this is pathetic. I'll have to get a new cooler for such a weaker cpu.
