Variance in Chips?
Variance in Chips?
The real differences in chip performance lie mainly in the voltage needed to achieve each clock speed. These variations influence temperature indirectly through the power requirements. Running several identical chips together under similar conditions will yield comparable temperatures at any given voltage setting. The primary source of variance remains the specific voltage necessary for a target speed.
Everyone has their own threshold they hit. It's possible to run at very high voltage without damaging a CPU, use liquid nitrogen, and still struggle with instability at 4.8ghz on a 7700k. If you've researched this topic, you might have heard about the CPU lottery. The range of speeds and the corresponding voltages can vary quite a bit.
Clock speed does influence temperatures, but the difference is minor—just a few degrees depending on how much the speed changes.
If they could get similar outcomes, the temperatures would likely match.
Your temperatures are already high, which points to a more pressing cooling concern.
