XTU Per-core tuning not working (alien.top)

I'm very confused on how XTU works. No matter what I do to the performance per-core tuning nothing is changed. The only way I can make a frequency change is by using Active-Core tuning. I want to specifically target certain cores for overclocking, not a general "6.1GHz".

Additionally, even though XTU reports 1 active core, it always uses 4+ active core setting in the Active-Core tuning. Which means if I want my 14900k to reach 6GHz I need to force at least 4 cores to run at 6GHz.

I want to try to get my best P cores higher than 6GHz. But in order to modify frequencies I need to make 4 cores go higher.

What am I missing here? I've attached an example below. There is only 1 active core, but its not using the clock speed for 1 active core.

Active core tuning is a turbo bin setting. It means you'll see the 1 active core multiplier when the system is using 1 core, which almost never happens. The 4 core bin is the most sane, because that's how windows usually works shuffling threads arounds.

Your xtu shows you can set a per core multiplier. So set your best core to the multiplier you want (61), and set the rest lower if you want a safe 1 core boost.

Like set the 4 core active to 6.1? I think that makes it so that 4 cores will try to go to 6.1, not just the best cores. Is there no way anymore to just OC the best 2 cores?
