I dont get the hardware giveaway, does it work for you Mike?

Base line Bios set up, no OC: Intel Core i9 @ 4297.89 MHz - CPU-Z VALIDATOR

All cores around 67°C at my 8700K's 4.7GHz profile(@1.232v) no crash at least, as I use this as a "dirty" OC chek(generally when adjusting voltages down, for a set multiplier)

core temps varied between 38° and 48° even though a short run.

I'll reboot and run CPU Mark in Performance test and post after(if it doesn't crash).

@4.7GHz power option High Performance.
No Crash and head room

Oh I forgot to mention, after the CPU swap, I didn't need to do anything(yet) for activation as I have a digital license connected to my Microsoft account.
