Due to previous experiences when overclocking our i9-11900K in previous Z590 reviews, we've seen power consumption figures surpassing 350 W when overclocking, which is a phenomenal amount of wattage for an eight-core chip. As Intel is pushing its silicon almost to its limit right out of the factory, adequate cooling is needed. Perhaps the biggest disadvantage when it comes to overclocking the processor is having to deal with the extra heat and power implications. At present, Intel employs some of the most aggressive methods of automatic overclocking with its Thermal Velocity Boost (TVB), and more recently with Rocket Lake, its new Adaptive Boost Technology (ABT) on its 11th Gen Core i9 K and KF processors. On an eight-core processor such as the Intel Core i9-11900K, providing whatever software of application is being used can utilize the cores and threads, typically more performance can be had from pushing all of the cores higher. Despite the excellent work from both Intel and AMD over the last couple of years with its interpretations of 'turbo' and 'boost', this doesn't typically affect all of the cores, and instead focuses on one or two. The art of overclocking can be considered as a skill, as to get the right combination of settings to deliver an optimized, yet stable enough system to deliver the performance can be time-consuming and tedious. ![]() Overclocking Experience with the MSI MEG Z590 Ace
