8+4 pin CPU power supply
I’m checking if those additional pins are necessary for your setup. The voltage will remain in auto mode.
Consider testing at 5.0GHz on a lower voltage configuration instead of the default. Be cautious if you make mistakes, and a CMOS reset might also resolve the issue.
Currently I'm using an i5 3550 with a 4GHz overclock, voltage set to auto. The highest temperature I reached during rendering was 65°C, and it never exceeded that limit under any conditions.
You mentioned that question before in another discussion. It seems many people are still asking about the extra 4-pin power or the 8-pin options for certain models. The additional 4-pin isn't necessary unless you're targeting very high frequencies like 5GHz+ on the i9-10900K or pushing 6GHz+ with the i7-10700K using liquid nitrogen cooling. The existing single 8-pin can handle up to 384W. Avoid leaving voltages on Auto, as it might be too high and risk damage, particularly when overclocking. If you manage to run at 5.0/5.1 GHz on lower voltage, that's ideal. When overclocking, aim for the minimum voltage possible.
Ivy Bridge and Comet Lake represent entirely distinct concepts.
