I ran a 15-minute stress test on prime 95. With the current temps and a 475W PSU, it should be fine to increase the settings.
Ethanol17 - Keep your funds safe. The W3680 operates consistently at 100% efficiency up to a maximum core temperature of 100°C. Should it ever hit that point, it will reduce its speed to guard against heat-related issues. I conducted extensive Prime95 tests with this processor and found it maintaining a 30x boost at 4.00 GHz even after two years. This demonstrates how the CPU multiplier adapts and enhances performance when you raise turbo limits (TDP). https://i.imgur.com/WTU1huC.png If you’re concerned about a 130W to 200W power supply, consider a more conservative TDP setting. This CPU can manage demands up to 4000 MHz with ease. On compatible boards, Intel’s 32nm Westmere chips run reliably at higher speeds. https://i.imgur.com/3XBqVgb.png With ample voltage, they can exceed those limits. https://i.imgur.com/0XxLLWh.png
It seems the clock looks great. I’ll probably experiment with it then. Appreciate all the support!
