I purchased a new 14700k with an asus rog strix z790 motherboard and Corsair ddr5 96gb 5600 kit.

It’s a drop in replacement from a 3950x.

The issue I’m having is that while gaming it’s overloading my ups. (6900xt, 850 watt psu)

I’d like some advice on bios settings to tune down the power consumption under load. Cities skylines 2 is keeping all the threads at around 70% usage individually including e cores and with the Radeon card it’s a bit too much. The ups is like 2 months old so I don’t want to replace it yet.

Right now the bios is pretty stock aside from making sure rebar is on and boot drive tweak.

Is it possible to undervolt these?

I’m using a custom water loop so temps aren’t an issue.

    I dual boot multiple operating systems. Initially had to enable csm but I got refind working now. So I can boot with rebar enabled for windows gaming but still boot bsd in uefi mode
