Did you use the boost profile? Don't they still make boards for overclockers that have the bios reset button on the back I/O? If not, you could connect the reset to the clear CMOS when overclocking?

I do not. I like that it is allowed within warranty though.
Only other members with Arrow Lake I know:
@AcrosTinus Not sure if he tried the Boost profile
@In2Photos Did he get a gag order from Intel to not talk about his prize system?
@Kocicak Did we hurt his feelings enough for him to quit these forums?
@IEC He's also quiet about his recently bought system.
@ArrogantHair I think he's more into manual tuning so probably considers Boost profile beneath him

It would require BIOS update. Only planning to do that with Arrow Refresh (yes, I will put myself through the Refresh experience for the community!).
My mobo doesn't have a CMOS RESET button (bought a cheapo ~$250 mobo).
It has a CMOS RESET jumper but it's easier to do it with battery than to follow the jumper ritual.

Connect the reset switch to the clear CMOS. Or buy one for the express purpose of recovering from failed settings. https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-2-Pack-Motherboard-Computer/dp/B07FK7BQG9/

Usually, CMOS reset buttons are often present.
It's rare that there is a reset button on the back panel side of the motherboard.
It may not come with a motherboard that is reasonably priced.

Good full featured overclocking boards have always had a price premium attached. https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-ROG-STRIX-GAMING-WIFI/dp/B0DGWHZKMC?th=1
I suppose my hot take is that complaining about how a bang for buck board reacts when you overclock with an old? bios seems nit picky to me.

You would be right I guess but ASROCK SONIC Z790 that cost about the same had none of these issues.

I don't know that comparing different platforms makes a lot of sense. Particularly if you are not trying various bios versions...

The 265K is now in a ASRock Z890 Lightning with 200S Boost mode enabled (and 96GB DDR5-6400). No significant issues other than a lot of manual driver installation was required on Windows 11. I hesitate to try *nix for this reason...
The MSI Z890-P Pro Wifi is running the 265KF. It's having some sort of startup.nsh / UEFI secure boot issues and I can't be bothered to troubleshoot for the moment so it's sitting powered off for now. I may try to turn off secure boot and install Linux Mint to see how good or bad out of the box *nix compatibility is.

So far no real issues with the system. No tinkering either though. XMP is enabled and that's it. Haven't even updated the BIOS on it since we got it. If it ain't broke...Only other members with Arrow Lake I know:

I use a similar switch on my system since it doesn't have a button on the motherboard. And with a vertical GPU it wouldn't be easy to get to. Just plugged one of these in and ran it out the back of the case so it's easy to get to.
Boost mode is not a huge improvement, and limiting, as it locks certain things so you can't further tweak.
Boost mode - P55 E48 D2D 32 NGU 32
Gigabyte has and Ultra Turbo mode that does this:
Turbo mode - P55 E48 D2D 28 NGU 32 RING 39
Extreme mode - P56 E48 D2D 30 NGU 34 RING 40
Better than stock. Good if you don't want to tweak and degrade your CPU.
Interesting that Boost mode has D2D 32 but GB Extreme limits it to only 30.
I think RAM kit also matters. With Patriot 8200, I got best Rapydmark score of 163 secs. With Patriot 7200@8000, I'm stuck at 208 secs.

Looks better though still makes me wish that Bartlett Lake had been 12P Lion Coves on Intel 7. With low RAM latency and 8000+ RAM speeds, it would've been a very decent performer at 5.8 GHz ST and 5.5 GHz MT clocks.
Can someone try Keyshot Viewer benchmark on their Arrow Lake and let me know if it's wonky?
It exited unexpectedly three times in a row (at about 60%). Tried the GPU benchmark. That one didn't finish either. Tried again and this time the GPU benchmark completed successfully. Then tried CPU and it was also able to complete.
I'm running XMP 7200 profile and it's y-cruncher 2.5B stable.
Ran multiple other benchmarks and no issues.

By the way, Gigabyte Z890 mobos probably come with TPM support disabled by default. There seem to be articles online about it. I had to check because Win11 24H2 update failed and it says TPM not available. Now annoyingly need to figure out which setting is the culprit in the BIOS. Articles say to enable Secure Boot and Intel PTT.

I was benchmarking GB6 using XTU P54 E49 with BIOS defaults and RAM 5600C46.
Got an error saying GB couldn't connect to internet. Looked and saw that wireless was disconnected. Connected and tried again. Same problem again. This time it connected but said no internet. I checked on the laptop. It was working. So disconnect and try connecting again and it disappears. Try opening network settings and the window freezes. Reboot. System is taking forever with the spinning circle so shut it down hard and restart. Again, no wireless visible and settings window not working. Checked task manager and the CPU speed and utilization graph is frozen. Take out the USB wireless from the back and insert in a different port. Things get back to normal.
I think XTU killed at least one USB 3.1/3.2 port

Hmm. I wonder if my issues are XTU related and not the actual board/ram/cpu config? There has been no XTU update at all since ARL released.
You haven't tried using it without XTU?
It's definitely worth trying not to tune if you have stability problems.

The Gigabyte bios has serious issues with adaptive OC. XTU is the only stable bypass. Waiting for a stable bios update.
At least the day ended somewhat happily for me. Didn't check that port to see if it's working or not but I was able to get my Teamgroup 7200C34 kit working @ 7666C36 with ring 40 D2D 32 NGU 34 and two preferred P-cores at 5.4 GHz (y-cruncher stable).I think XTU killed at least one USB 3.1/3.2 port

Steady there young padawan, you need to restore the balance: turn the system off and on again. Reset ain't enough sometimes, give it an old fashioned power cycle.I think XTU killed at least one USB 3.1/3.2 port
PS: also keep USB Tree Viewer somewhere at hand, you never know when it's needed.
