Asrock Z890i Nova wifi (itx) good for OC 285k?

[lawshadow]

Hi all,

This board in question:
https://pg.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z890I Nova WiFi/index.us.asp#Overview

Does the asrock z890i nova wifi (itx) with it's 12+1+1+1+1 Power Phase Design and 110A SPS suitable to overclock a 285k without worry for the VRM etc not doing massive OC but perhaps 5.0ghz on the E-cores and maybe even more, also a slight OC on the P-cores. Is this board good enough without worry or should i look elsewhere ?

What about the asrock PHANTOM GAMING Z890M Riptide:
https://pg.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z890M Riptide WiFi/index.us.asp
With it's 16+1+1+1+1 Power Phase Design but with 80A SPS?
Which of these 2 boards is THE better overclocker for 285k not doing massive overclock just a decent OC.
Reason im using a Lian Li A3 matx case will use either a good AIO cpu cooler or do a full custom water cooling setup with Aquacomputer Cuplex Vision cpu block and AC AMS 480 rad.

Feedback/help/advise is appreciated
Thx in advance

1. Don't OC the P-cores, they're tortured enough as it is.
2. No idea what you're doing here but if it's gaming I'd recommend ditching LGA1851 altogether as both LGA1700 and AM5 do it better.
3. 12*110 is slightly better than 16*80. On paper at least.
4. Both boards will warrant some overclock on E-cores but both also won't do any wonders in that department. Don't expect anything more than +200 MHz, could just run it at stock.

12phase 110a is more than enough. You'll be lucky to even pull 1/4th of that under load.

You will get to 5.7P and 4.8E as kinda high OC. After that it's silicon bin lottery and how high you are willing to go up in voltage.

Don't forget about cooling. It can still reach 320watts if you push it, but need to delid at some point or 100c Is inevitable.

Great thanks for the replies,


I mainly game at 1440p and 4k so the reviews at 1080p dont matter much besides there are good videos with the 285k getting a high boost from not only OC the E-cores but also: overclock ring ratio, NGU Fabric and D2D interface, set power profile in BIOS and Windows and turn of memory integrity in Windows. This with high speed CU-DIMM 8000+ resulted in actually pretty good performance getting close to a 9800X3D in some cases but overall has lower performance then the AMD counterparts that's a fact. What happened to Alder Lake Intel went to far with the "efficient" seeing how the Raptor Lake had degrading issues. So they released a LACKLUSTER Arrow Lake due to efficiency and "lessons" learned from Raptor Lake. Also reviews pointing out gaming on 285k = smooth with less "stutters" then other cpu's the guy tested incl previous Raptor Lake and AMD Ryzen 9. I will use the rig not for gaming mainly.

Guess i will custom watercool the 285k was about to get a "Be Quiet Light Loop 360" just for ease of installation. But then again its a ITX case (Lian Li A3 matx) so probably best to custom watercool it since i already have everything from an older build just the cpu block and the fans is all i need. And of course the mild OC warrant a custom loop i think so...

CPU block: Cuplex Kryos NEXT with VISION.
Radiator: Aquacomputer Airplex Modularity System 480 full copper (tube design similar to a MO-RA so no pesky dirty flux)
Pump: D5 with EKWB CQS D5 top + res
Radiator fans: 4 x Phanteks T-30's

Will attach a RAM fan cooler 3 x 40mm fans @ 2500rpm should keep the RAM at least 12 to 15c cooler (tested). And a 140mm fan blowing air towards the cpu, vrm, RAM (side mounted on the A3)
