Hello, I have been trying to get my i5 12600KF to boost to 4.9 or more and i have tried using the automatic OC button on the XTU app. However, whenever i try, XTU says "Automatic OC failed. Manual tuning is currently active.". How do i fix this?
Another error pops up when i press "Optimise Power & Current Limits".Screenshot 2025-11-01 154416.png

Try going to XTU > Advanced Settings > All and look for the Processor Core iccMax slider. This should be set to the maximum value for a 12600KF which is 175 A. Alter this value to something less than that, 174.75 should do it.
