Ensuring lasting performance at 9900KS and 5.0 GHz
Ensuring lasting performance at 9900KS and 5.0 GHz
Thus is correct. You can put the windows power mode to high performance which doesn’t allow it to under clock, but this just pumps volts and thus heat through the chip for no real reason. Sitting at the desktop doesn’t need a 16 thread machine to be at 5ghz lol. That said, you can enable that, it doesn’t hurt anything. Just personal preference. Lower heat/electricity vs higher heat and electricity for no real purpose. Lol. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I wasn't sure when checking the spec sheet it was almost the same as the 9900K. The base is higher, but the turbo boost (shown as single core boost) is marked at 5.0. Only one core can reach 5.0 from baseline. I assumed they were promising it could run all cores at 5.0, but you still need an OC or MCE enabled. Maybe I'm mistaken—it seems their website specs only list it as single core like the 9900K.
