ASUS VLatch on ROG Maximus XIII Apex Explored | Overclocking Rocket Lake: What's New

VLatch is a brand new feature on the Maximus XIII Apex and Extreme that allows enthusiasts to detect the true Vmin and Vmax of the CPU core voltage without having to purchase an expensive oscilloscope.

Explaining the VLatch function and purpose gets complicated very quickly but I’ll try to keep it as simple as possible.

04:22 ASUS mobos are just so nice to work with... I had RAMPAGE 4 and RAMPAGE 5 now waiting for my MAXIMUS 8 Apex and new set of G.Skill F4-5066C20D-16GTRS.
For your information I actually got my 11900K work on MSI Z590 A-PRO all core turbo @ 5.5GHz (All AVX disabled) I just bought a cheap but somewhat good board to test the 11900K.
I really liked the X99 RAMPAGE V board and the stuff you could actually do with it... I'm sure I will explore the MAXIMUS XIII the same way and your videos will come handy!!!
You have nice content also subscribed to your channel and keep them videos coming!

You are killing it bro.. the most informative video's out there on youtube !! :D Thanks for all the hard work.. truly helps everyone bro !

I actually have a question to ask. In ASUS motherboard’s CPU clock speed setting, there’s a thing called “per core” mode. I only know how to adjust the numbers in the “all core” mode and “auto” mode, but I am not sure how to deal with the “per core” mode. For example, I’m using a i5-10600KF, how do I know what the maximum clock speed each particular core of my cpu can be stabilized at, so that I can get the cpu to work at its highest speed rather than riskily setting a single number in the “all core” mode?

Hi, i have the apex encore motherboard, but it still shows the v_latch voltage on hwinfo even tho it is switch disabled on my motherboard. Does it makes a diff when i turn this on? Its kinda weird.

(recommended llc 4) Not particularly, not in my case tho, depends on what you trying to achieve at the given voltage and at what workload.
My 10900kf pulls almost 400w at min 1.19v 5.3 all core in linpack 1.42v max idle (direct die cooling) and at llc5 droop is around 230mv and 200~ at level 6. So if i want to pass 50 loops linpack at 5.3 all core i need to raise the initial voltage above 1.45 with llc5 to not drop under 1.2 at linpack or set llc6. I dont know why theres so much droop on my board or its just normal. all protections are off and at maximum current/power limits. (die sense voltage reading)

Hey mate I’m here again to watch your video :)

If I leave my V-Latch switch on, on my crosshair viii extreme on will that affect the performance?

i heard the z590 apex have allot problems is that true ? i have a 10900k and i dont now what too choose z490 of z590 apex please help me out !

[sagerdood]

Great vid bud, although i dont have that feature, still interesting

[NotDelpize]

So, i have a 10900k and Asus xii apex, what llc would you suggest?

[vapidwords]

Will it work on 10900K chip too? Thought about getting Z590 Apex for 10900K just to get Vlatch data.

[stephclaud]

attention sur les rog apex XII z490 il ne faut pas flasher le bios avec un 11700k en place pour que la carte mère supporte le 11700k, il faut la flasher avec un 10700k, sinon ça ne marchera pas.

lol, fantastic, oh well at least you learned something... the hard way.
