5.2 Everyday

All in this page is with AIR Cooling

Settings on edge of Intel spec.

This setup is for people who believe that when Intel write max vcore 1.52v, and temps below 74c is safe.

The good old:

1 core: core-limit 52, BLCK 100, loaded 5.2 Ghz

2 cores: core-limit 51, BLCK 100, loaded 5.1 Ghz

3 cores: core-limit 51, BLCK 100, loaded 5.1 Ghz

4 cores: core-limit 50, BLCK 100, loaded 5.0 Ghz

alternative 1 is (might require fixed memory voltage):

1 core: core-limit 50, BLCK 103,8, loaded 5.185 Ghz

2 cores: core-limit 49, BLCK 103,8, loaded 5.081 Ghz

3 cores: core-limit 49, BLCK 103,8, loaded 5.081 Ghz

4 cores: core-limit 48, BLCK 103,8, loaded 4.982 Ghz

alternative 2 is: (might require fixed memory voltage)

1 core: core-limit 49, BLCK 106, loaded 5.194 Ghz

2 cores: core-limit 48, BLCK 106, loaded 5.088 Ghz

3 cores: core-limit 48, BLCK 106, loaded 5.088 Ghz

4 cores: core-limit 47, BLCK 106, loaded 4.982 Ghz

See benchmarks with 106 here

I dont see any big performance differences and both seems to be rock stable for gaming and everyday usage on my system.

vcore: 1.46 (will automatically raise to 1.52v when all cores are loaded, with burntests)

All fans, not including the gfx fan, are on lowest possible speed. No watercooling on this setup.

Prime95 stresstesting with 8 threads, I reach a powerdraw on 120watt+, and heat exceed 85c+ after some time.
