10700K thermals available
What are the PL1 and PL2 power limits configured? If PL1 defaults to 125W, you'll face significant throttling when using Prime95. The CPU must reduce its speed to avoid surpassing that limit. In HWiNFO, adjust the top-left column for better visibility of details. Capture a screenshot during CPU loading and under throttling to identify the cause. If throttling occurs, verify power usage matches approximately 125W. For top performance from a 10700K, you'll need to raise the power limits considerably.
I see, you're checking if thermal throttling is affecting your VRM performance. It seems the issue might be related to your PL1/PL2 settings. As for your question, based on typical performance trends, you could potentially lower the voltage to around 1.25V or even 1.2V while maintaining stable speeds, especially if you adjust the boost settings. This would be a rough estimate—test gradually and monitor stability.
If you cant set power limit in the bios then heres a short copy paste guide i lazily made ;-; Short tdp limit yeet tutorial to make your cpu boost as much as it wants download throttlestop, press the turn on button, going into the tpl menu, set turbo long, short, and pp0 current to 99999 and shove the sliders all the way to the right, clamp, lock, apply, power limits yeeted
I grasped the voltage constraints you mentioned, but I was curious about the undervolt discussion from earlier.
