I haven’t encountered anything unusual. No issues with the power supply have arisen. Systems remain stable, and the titanium construction has consistently performed well. I don’t own a multimeter, but I’m open to getting one if needed.
10 volts is a bit too low for my preference. My 1kW runs between 11.5 to 11.8 volts and it matched the multimeter within 0.01 volts. You can test any yellow and black markings on the spare EPS connector or PCI-E connector. It's a good idea to verify at idle and then under load. It might just be a minor reading, but it's safer to be sure.
It's great you noticed the issue, but this power supply has always worked well for me. I'm just glad someone pointed it out. My main worry was overheating during Cinebench runs—though I know the max temperature stays around 90°C. If I can reduce the temperature by adjusting the voltage while keeping all cores at 4850, that would be ideal.
I managed to stabilize it. Adjusted offset to -0.16, dropping it from 1.45v to 1.29v. Running at 4700 with breaks, reaching up to 4850 on a couple of cores while playing Doom Eternal. Peak temps hit 71°C—fair performance. Low end stays high at 57°C, which is confusing. The socket remains cool at 29°C.
I'm not very technical, but I set everything up without linking the LLC with the offset. I chose medium on my B450MB and it's the second lowest setting. Cinebench still runs at 81c, but I managed to boost its score by nearly a thousand points. Gaming now drops below 70c and low workloads...I think I've figured out the temperature issue.
