Time Spy - DirectX 12 benchmark test

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.

The screenshot is old, it's when I was just trying the settings, my average temps are in the 30's and reach high 70's when under a very heavy load, a single core might touch 82° for a split second, but nothing to worry about.

But like I said, I'm going to run it one more week with my daily settings, as opposed to my benchmarking setting, and see if I can lower the voltage. If it isn't stable at anything lower(I want to save power too, I just may drop it down to 4.7 for daily things, or even go to 4.4 when summer comes.

It's just nice to know this PC was a good buy for 2100€(about $2234) And for a Workstation it's powerful as heck, great for running VM's too.
Being it only has 6 phases for power delivery, a lower OC with less voltage might be wiser eventually.

Great run guys

Thanks @Dude

You should get 7K soon. I will update the boards when I get office installed

You can do it through office online too.

Yeah, but that was my excuse because Im busy tweaking I dont like the online office

Hope you are referring to your new system???

How are you getting on with the tweaking

I have it dialed in at 4.8 for daily use.


I have validated the CPU at 5.1, and OC the ram to 3600, but leave ram at 3200 for daily
