4.5Ghz is a solid choice, what cooling method are you employing? Consider if it could reach around 4.6 to 4.7GHz. My cooler is the NZXT Kraken X62.

John TJ shared that 4.5Ghz works well, but inquired about the cooling method and suggested testing if it reaches around 4.6~4.7GHz. He mentioned using the NZXT Kraken X62 and asked if someone had tried increasing the frequency.
John TJ shared his experience on the forum. He mentioned using a 4.5Ghz setup and asked about cooling options, suggesting temperatures around 4.6-4.7Ghz. He also discussed his NZXT Kraken X62 cooler and noted that for a Kraken 4.5, he considered going higher but found it takes around 1.4 to 1.45 GHz even with a Vcore of 1.38.

My cooler is the NZXT Kraken X62. For a Kraken 4.5 it's reasonable, have you tried increasing the speed?
Yes, it can go higher, but it appears to take about 1.4 - 1.45 even with a Vcore of 1.38.
What's the temperature at load? Try keeping it below 1.45V.

Yes, it can go higher, but it seems to drop to about 1.4 to 1.45 even with Vcore at 1.38.
What's the temperature at load? Try keeping it under 1.45V.
It's not too bad, max around 73°C, most units run between 60-68°C.

My setup is the NZXT Kraken X62.
For a Kraken 4.5 it's reasonable, have you experimented with higher speeds?
Yes, it can go up, but it usually drops to about 1.4 - 1.45 even though I set the Vcore to 1.38.
What temperature is it at load? Try keeping it under 1.45V.
It's not too bad, max around 73°C, most units run between 60-68°C.
If it stays stable at 4.5 with 1.4V, keep it there; above 1.45V isn't safe.

Yes, it can go higher, but it usually drops to 1.4 - 1.45 even with a Vcore of 1.38.
What temperature does it reach under load? Try keeping it below 1.45V.
It’s not too bad, max around 73°C, most units run between 60-68°C.
If it stays stable at 4.5 with 1.4V, keep that setting; above 1.45V isn’t safe.
It spikes to 1.42 - 1.45, how can I bring it under 1.4? Lowering the current capacity or using an LLC stage might help.
