Yup, using two chiplets with four cores each works well. I plan to pick the 3800X model, turn off boost and undervolt settings as needed, and test various clock speeds until I find a balance between power use and stable performance. I’ll see what works best later.
3800X seems to be the superior option, and if reducing power usage is critical, disabling cores might help further.
It sounds like you're considering two profiles—one using 4 cores with higher clock speeds and another utilizing all 8 cores. I'll check how 6 cores compare. Appreciate the input!
No, Motherboard VRM doesn't control CPU clock speeds based on power usage.
Essentially, as long as the board has good power delivery, it can manage the eight core chips without issues.
