TDP 10850K 250 watts
Hey there, I just checked my setup after stressing AIDA64 and RealBench. The max package I got was 150W at 175W TDP. With Prime95 I expected around 253W, but it actually came out normal. MCE is on, and a guy named Nexus mentioned issues when the motherboard exceeds 250W. In my case, I'm only hitting 250W with MCE and 4800MHZ across all cores. Temperatures are around 72°C to 75°C on RealBench and AIDA64. I'm using an MSI AIO 240R.
You're asking about the meaning of "high pl1 power limits for a limited amount of time." It seems you're clarifying how your system handled sustained high performance without overheating or throttling. Your benchmark results show stable performance with minimal temperature rise, and you noticed consistent clock speeds even under heavy loads. The mention of Prime95 running at 253W TDP but no speed reduction suggests the system maintained efficiency. Essentially, it's about understanding why your hardware could sustain high power demands without dropping performance or causing thermal issues.
so your running your cpu overclocked. If the cpu was stock, the power limits would drop after about a minute. Since the temps are fine, I wouldn't worry about it.
The power limit decreases when conditions become unfavorable, typically due to overheating. After a minute, it drops because of sustained stress or inefficiency, not because temperature isn’t a factor. If things are running smoothly, the drop shouldn’t happen.
This setup is designed for Intel CPUs. It restricts maximum power usage for roughly one minute, then allows a drop. Since you've already boosted your CPU beyond standard limits, it won't adhere to typical Intel power constraints.
Prime95 consumes roughly 140% of its theoretical load, with typical draws near 185W for 10.85k and 10.9k units, which seems accurate.
XG32, your assistance is greatly appreciated. I understand this might seem straightforward, yet I attempted it in other discussions and couldn't locate any guidance. Once I acquire the MSI AIO 360 for a performance boost, I plan to keep the components set automatically. The MSI site indicated that my cooler performs adequately with processors up to the 10TH without pushing extreme overclock limits—specifically, a non-K line with all settings left on. Perhaps in the future I'll upgrade to a more advanced model, but for now I feel adequately equipped. If you're familiar with my cooling setup, it would be helpful to know.
It can reach up to 259 watts during AVX workload, making 300+ possible with a 10-core processor.
