3800x Boost performance at reduced power (4.3GHz, 1.225V)
Hey, your setup with a 3800X and the Noctua NH-D15 seems quite stable overall. The temperatures were higher than expected, especially during spikes, but it settled down nicely after a couple of hours. OCCT reached over 90°C, while idle temps stayed around 50-55°C. Cinebench R15 was solid at about 2100, and with stable settings (4.4GHz manual OC, 1.3V), the temps hovered near 84°C. After some testing, you got consistent results: 2h in OCCT, 2h in AIDA64, and 2h in R20 at 4.3GHz with 1.225V, keeping max temps around 89°C and averages between 74-78 depending on the test. In Apex Legends it stayed under 70°C, and idle was 37-39°C. The latest Cinebench is 2216. It looks like modern games perform better when all cores run stable at 4.3GHz rather than relying on one core at higher speeds. Your build seems to handle the heat well, which suggests good thermal management or solid components.
