Hi,
I just built a new PC and I got some problem. I'm not able to find if my configuration is normal or is a setting problem.

First of all, I'm unable to use my memory "CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3600 (PC4-28800) C18" at 3333, the max I got is 2666. Anyone have this memory and be able to use at 3333?

Second, I got mix informations from different program. MSI CPU-z give me a core at 2094,9 Mhz under stress, I was thinking to have a minimum of 3,7Ghz for the core.

I check the utility " Intel Processor Identification Utility", my CPU speed reported is 2,10 Ghz. Again, I was thinking to have a minimum of 3,7Ghz for the core.

I done a benchmark with MSI CPUZ, anybody can do a benchmark with a I5-12600KF and post the result?

I was using "openhardwaremonitor-v0.9.6" for my old system but it seem to have problem with the I5-12600KF. Which hardware monitor do you use to have good number for this processor?

Thanks for your help, I think I should have wait before buying this new CPU!!!!

Yes, MSI Center is, frankly put, garbage. I don't know why everyone uses it.

Different BIOS settings - better done in the BIOS.
Overclocking - mostly useless with the latest CPUs, because they run at 99% of their capacity already due to several turbo methods. Just increases power consumption & heat.
RGB LED control - i turned RGB off, i don't have a case with a window.
LAN traffic manager - useless and eats CPU time, just throttle downloads in the download software if necessary.
HW monitoring - HWinfo64 or AIDA64 are way better.

Also, the Center like to mess with your configuration sometimes, and can even change the power plan in the Windows settings (which should always be on Balanced).

About your RAM: You might have to wait for a new BIOS version. Currently there are a lot of problems that can be attributed to the early BIOS development stage.
