Core speed fluctuating during idle mode
Core speed fluctuating during idle mode
I'm using a 5GHz processor at 1.37V with no AVX and a high LLC setting. It's been this configuration for nearly two years now. I did a delid test, but I wouldn't exceed 1.35V without doing it.
It looks like you're considering different configurations for testing. You're thinking about using version 4.9 with a 1.35v AVX-512 processor and an OCCT chip, but you're unsure if it's feasible soon. If it doesn't work, you might try 4.8ghz with 1.32 instead, though you mentioned it could still be insufficient based on your previous test with OCCT.
I'll attempt to use cache version 44. I'll also check 4.9ghz + 1.35vcore with AVX0 if it doesn't work. If that fails, I'll try 4.8ghz + 1.32... and if neither works, I'll go with 4.7. Thank you for your patience—keep updating as I test everything. P.S. Should I run OCCT one hour, Cinebench 5-10 times, and RealBench 30 minutes? Or would a shorter test be sufficient?
I understand you're open to different approaches, but there isn't a universal solution here. Personally, I'm okay with an hour of RealBench and stable applications without crashes, especially if I don’t handle anything financially important. A rare crash wouldn’t stop me from continuing my work—unless it affects critical tasks, then it could be a problem. It depends on your specific needs and what you're testing. Everyone's situation is different, so what works for one might not for another.
Most of my thoughts on starting up and using Chrome matched what you said in detail. If it functions, it does. Unless you need absolute reliability, go with Pluto’s advice.
I checked all the options. Here’s what I got: 4.9ghz - 1.36vcore, 4.8ghz - 1.32vcore, 4.7ghz - 1.28vcore. I skipped 4.9ghz because the 1.36vcore is too high for my chip and for continuous use with heavy gaming. For 24/7 play, I’m leaning toward 4.7 or 4.8. Combining 4.7 with 1.28vcore gives a very cold performance even under tough loads, but the overclock is limited. 4.8 with 1.32vcore works well for me—it’s a solid OC and I can handle it while gaming nonstop.
