hi all. I have a new build, key components: aourus elite z790 ax, i713700k, AMD 7900XTX, Noctua NHU12A, 32gb RAM in a Fractal North case with 3 intake, three exhaust fans. Used the stock Noctua paste. For context, I live in Spain and ambient temperature is currently 29-30C. If I run HWiNFO64 it shows some thermal throttling in P cores 2-7 when gaming (Apex Legends): It shows similar values using e.g. Cinebench. This was my first build so I don't know if this is normal or perhaps I applied the thermal paste wrong. Can anyone help me? Otherwise it usually runs well - you can see that normal running temps are 40-42C. Thanks!

Standard performance is normal and safe. Newer CPUs increase speed until they reach maximum limits. To lower temperatures, consider adjusting the BIOS for a negative vcore offset or setting static frequency at the highest safe Vcore your cooler supports without throttling.

Requires around 1.30 volts maximum. If you exceed that, lower the voltage. Hot operation is common; some boards prefer extra voltage.

Thanks! I assuming that is this: So its running at an average 1.319V but ran at max 1.405V. So it may be that 1.3v could reduce temps. I assume that is changed in Bios. So now I have three suggestions, which is preferred?: 1. negative vcore offset 2. setting static frequency at highest vcore the cooler can handle 3. set voltage to max 1.3v Is there a reason to pick one or the other? (or is it me being ignorant and they are three ways of saying a similar thing?)

Apply a -0.100 offset for stability. If needed, adjust to -0.075. This value helps align readings with hwinfo expectations.
