He achieves 97° with the 240, though he swapped the fans and likely opened the bench. For details, did you observe that the Arctic specs for RGB fan models (82.91 m³/h, 1.85mmH, 2 O) are lower than the regular ones (95.70 m³/h, 2.20mmH, 2 O), even though they spin faster? I’d consider purchasing a reliable, affordable contact frame from Amazon or AliExpress. Edited December 24, 2023 by leclod
Power limit throttling isn't inherently bad; it's a safety feature that prevents overheating during high loads. If you're concerned, check your system's documentation or consult a specialist to ensure it's functioning properly.
The system's power constraints are manageable on their own but may impact overall efficiency.
These chips can handle a lot of power initially, but efficiency drops sharply as you approach their top limits. A small increase in wattage only provides a modest performance boost. Adjusting power settings is typical, though exceeding 300 watts may affect cooling. For context, the default maximum turbo power is set at 253 watts.
I just installed the Thermal Grizzly contact frame and during 5 minutes of Intel Xtu stress testing with no power limits it stayed at a max of 95 but maintained a steady 85-90°C. It never reached the 100°C mark and performed well in both the xtu benchmark and Cinebench. I fully recommend everyone consider getting one.
