Working with 5950x under PPT/TDC/EDC constraints at 200/175/140 and a boost of +75mhz is the current setup. I also turned on PBO with a curve optimiser. I spent time stress testing each core, which showed values ranging from -13 to -30. No CPU issues have been observed for about a year. The all-core temperature stays around 80°C in a 25°C room. It seems like the process is challenging but offers minimal gain. With my previous Hyundai RAM sticks, any adjustment caused instability. I tried again after switching to Samsung RAM sticks and managed to get stable timings from 3600 CL14 to 3800 CL14, plus secondary and tertiary settings. Overall it's working well, but I'm not keen on diving deeper into this.
The 7000 series was built this way, but it’s quite naive. I doubt I’ll ever find something like this again. Plus, it looks pretty bad.
