i9-12900KS performance compared to K package temperatures
Your beef with GPU linking limits isn't with me, it's with them. Please do tell them your feelings, I agree as well. But wouldn't go out of my way to call people dumb like that. What am I talking about? The base thermal wattage difference and why there's a 10c gap in throttle temps. Of course I could be mistaken, I should have mentioned this as a guess unless there's some hard information other than..... That's just the way Intel designed them, so that's the way they are? THe Random tech boi runs his X58 at 100c all the time! With 2.4v on his ram!!
I thought the concept was silly, not a serious point. The processor with the better power rating actually has a lower maximum temperature limit. Your reasoning doesn’t hold up if you start with the wrong assumption. It doesn’t mean I’m suggesting anyone imitate that approach.
A powerful CPU offers greater overclocking flexibility than a high-temperature model. This is why advanced enthusiasts opt for LN2 cooling to push performance past benchmarks. The 12900KS tends to perform slightly better than the 12900K, prompting Intel to reduce the throttling threshold. Increased thermal margin enhances reliability under high loads. The 100°C TJ Max setting is fixed in both chips. For the 12900KS, Intel advises BIOS to shift the offset by about 10°C, lowering the throttling temp from 100°C to roughly 90°C. The manufacturer’s guide supports this adjustment, though some boards may ignore it.
