Nice run @N00berG00ber
Something I have noticed about overclocking:
After using my latest OC of CPU Freq @4.925FGHz and Ring Ratio @4.623GHz, RAM @3.015GHz, for a week or so, ALL my benchmark scores have had a pretty big drop.
For example, when I first applied the above, I got a 7516, I just ran it, to test the OC's stability(Using the Benchmark profile, that turns off C-State and EIST, but leaves Turbo Boost on, which is needed to receive a CPU score in Performance test, otherwise it will run but not give a score), this time I only received this:
I'm beginning to believe, that an OC will settle in after a while, and Windows makes adjustments, like when WinSAT formal is run, no matter what you set your power option to, for a more stable system. Or maybe my BIOS does it to.
Oh well, for now I have reached the maximum stable OC for my CPU running on heatsink fans, sooooo...
I guess I'll run it in 24/7 mode(EIST on, C-State Auto, CPU Mode set back to Dynamic, and Vcore set to adaptive) run it another week, then see if I can drop the voltage a little. Maybe I can use this "settling in" to my advantage
I'd be curious on any feedback from you long time overclockers, if you have ever noticed a "settling in".
Lower could be due to some degradation. Running hot doesn't do electronics any good at all. I wouldn't think the voltage in that screenshot would be an issue, but.....the CPU temp it has up above would trouble me greatly, if I was seeing that while in the bios.
The Timespy CPU test is helped out quite a bit by uncore and memory overclocking.
