Best way to achieve an overclock around 10,700k is through careful tuning and stable components.
You're experiencing high temperatures under load, similar to what you had at 4.9Ghz with 46x. Since your current setup reaches 90-100°C and you haven't changed any settings yet, upgrading to a better cooler might help manage the heat. Consider a cooler with higher thermal performance or better airflow to keep things stable.
You might want to explore an LLC option. I’m curious about your PSU too—those new 10 series CPU tax PSUs seem connected to the discussion.
You might want to experiment with LLC, but it’s not necessarily an issue. It’s all about testing and learning. Just because you didn’t reach 5GHz doesn’t mean there’s a problem—it could be a matter of timing or design. Sometimes things just don’t work out the first time.
You should consider running it at lower clockspeeds to maintain a safe temperature around 80°C. A lower frequency like 4.8 can help prevent overheating, even though it might reduce performance. Thermal throttling is likely to occur if you push it higher, so keeping the temps stable is important. LLC changes won’t directly solve this issue but could help manage power delivery more efficiently.
It is possible. Replace the cooler and apply more thermal paste if needed.
for everyday use, I usually keep my CPU under 80°C during peak loads. Running it at 4.9GHz works just fine, and since you don’t keep it at full capacity for long, you’re unlikely to notice extreme temperature rises in games.
