Discussion Arrow Lake Builder's thread

Looks like you may not need to bother with manual tuning: https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-core-300-arrow-lake-refresh-rumored-to-feature-kf-series-skus-only



Once Intel releases that tool, you will get the best tuning possible with complete stability so the best of both worlds without any risk.

Can one button overclocking ever be better than manual tuning? AIBs tried to sell one-button overclocking with AM5 and it ended up being uniformly terrible. Not to mention Arrow Lake tuning is extremely complex compared to previous Intel gens due to the numerous bottlenecks in the architecture. I would expect this to be bad because Intel engineers took 2+ years to figure out how to fix degradation issues when overclockers had already found remedies for the problem within months of launch in 2022.

Seems the ring in some ARL CPUs has poor voltage handling ability: https://www.overclock.net/posts/29448968/

My son got his PC last night. It looks really good! They used a Lian Li case that may be a Microcenter exclusive or something. It's not even on the Lian Li website. They added some custom graphics to the bottom and back of the case too! Here is the specs and some pics. Haven't had much time to play with it yet. My son plays HS baseball and his schedule during the week is rather busy. I'm sure he'll be gaming like crazy this weekend though.

Wow. Being a custom PC with a custom Lian Li case, this is going to have an amazing resale value even 5 years later!

Can't wait for your updates on "out of the box" benchmarks and tuned benchmarks
