Can you confirm if your PC will function properly after applying 5-way optimization with a stock heatsink?

I limit it to 70'C. You won't notice much, if any at all.

Establish a sensible maximum temperature and it won't overload the CPU beyond the cooler's limits (the advantage will be minimal at most).
You have the ability to adjust other settings (like fan control curves) in the BIOS... so I'm uncertain if the 5Way Optimization will really help you.

Yes. A sensible maximum temperature limit will prevent the CPU from exceeding the cooler's capacity, offering minimal advantage. You have flexibility in adjusting other BIOS settings like fan control curves, so the effectiveness of 5Way Optimization is uncertain. I don't think it will help much. What temperature do you think would be best?
