Hello, the order of their impact on temperatures when raised depends on the specific equipment you're using. Generally, higher settings tend to increase temperatures, so your 5950X likely responds accordingly. Let me know if you need further details!

This concept is quite complex, isn't it? From what I grasp from my own overclocking journey, TDC refers to sustained amps, EDC to peak amps, and PPT to total watts. These three metrics mainly influence your CPU temperature. TDC and PPT both play a big role in determining heat output, while EDC helps manage it. Understanding the relationship between voltage, amps, and watts is key—volts multiplied by amps gives watts, so they’re connected. Higher limits on TDC and PPT will both impact temperatures similarly. Different loads will stress the CPU in various ways, so you might hit a limit sooner with one metric than another. EDC should ideally be at least as high as TDC to allow temporary spikes without overheating. On my system, I keep PPT unlimited and set TDC to manage temps; adjusting EDC lowers heat but not as much. I think you should aim for EDC to match or exceed TDC. Increasing EDC can let you briefly exceed TDC, but it’s important to stay within safe limits. As long as you keep voltage steady, experimenting with all three is safe—just avoid pushing power too high before you know it.

The restriction you encounter first under stress determines power usage and heat generation. PPT focuses on power limits, which is the more precise metric, especially when using Zen 2.
