I checked the chipset info under the motherboard and saw the low power promoter is normal. For an MSI GX 670 Max, that’s typical.

Promontory refers to the chipset design. Low-power signifies energy efficiency, though it doesn't carry much meaning in practice. This applies similarly to almost any Zen 2 compatible board.

That's mostly marketing nonsense. All it's going to do is adjust the power limits and voltages a little, such that your CPU *might* boost a little higher/longer. However, there's so many variables here, that there's no guarantee it's going to have any effect at all. Technically, any change to power delivery can hurt components, but for something like this that you just flip a switch on, everything is going to be well within acceptable ranges, so lifespan should not be impacted.

I know this is old post but I have been running the same board and an r5 3600 overclocked to 4.6ghz all core and it's been running that 24/7 since roughly the time you posted this and still passes cinibench no problem every time.
