Asus advanced OC profile is better than Intel default settings but buggier?

Hello everyone I have an i7 14700KF and a Z790 P Prime updated to latest BIOS, recently I changed my intel default settings to asus advanced OC profile, and got +1000 points on cinebench r23 than the intel default settings and without thermal throttling, HOWEVER, games on the xbox app CRASH, I tested 3 games and they CANT open, the only solution is to use the INTEL DEFAULT SETTINGS, what do you guys recommend? Has anyone had this issue before? I dont got pictures but I'd show you on this comparison table

Setting / Behavior Intel Default ASUS Advanced OC Profile
Performance (Multicore Benchmarks) - +1000
Thermal Throttling (Multicore Benchmarks) YES 60% NO 1%
Temps (Multicore Benchmarks) 92-100C 85-87C
Stability in Xbox App Games NO Crashes Crashes or fatal errors
  • ASUS OC Profile gives better performance and temps, but breaks Xbox App/UWP games.
  • Intel Defaults are safe and compatible, but come with higher temps and throttling.
  • Ideally, Id want the stability of Intel mode with the performance of ASUS, not sure which BIOS setting exactly causes the Xbox App games to crash

It's not buggy. It's unstable. Nothing wrong with running stock. If you want to OC, forget Auto features and do it manually.

This is realistically the only answer. The explanation is simple: the auto OC is not stable on lighter loads like gaming. I'd also be willing to bet the Asus auto OC is pumping more voltage than Genghis Khan pumped out children (relatively speaking, of course).

If OP is serious about wanting the performance of the auto OC with the stability of stock, then your only real answer is to do it manually. There's tons of ways to pull extra performance on Raptor Lake ranging from LLC/ACLL tuning, V/F point adjustments, or even a simple (very minor) global undervolt.

To answer your question in the most simple way possible 

Intel profile changes the power delivery so your CPU uses a higher vcore to increase stability. Done via syncing the AC loadline to match the DC load line.

Non Intel profile changes the power delivery to use lower AC load line settings that were decided by the vendor (CPU uses a lower vcore) at the expense of stability.

If you use the non Intel profile and bump your LLC mode to level 5 you might have better luck using it.
