Friend’s setup gives him a lot of cooling power, but the system is pushing limits. The Prism should provide extra thermal headroom, allowing smoother performance at lower boost settings. Whether he can hit 1.42v on the 1600 with the Prism depends on how much the component improves efficiency—likely yes, but it may still feel tight.
After spending many years with poor Intel coolers, it's surprising how impressive they look now.
I rely on this 1600 more than any other device in my home. It’s the one I enjoy most, to be truthful.
Updated the Prism installation. Works well as a cooler. Adjusted multiplier to 40x; base clock appears near 99.8, not quite 100. Memory stays steady at 1596mhz and CPU at 3991mhz. Offset is +0.204. Under load it runs about 1.415v. In Cinebench R20 I’m not hitting 3004 points and maxing out around 75c, which is great. Currently testing Realbench for an hour to check performance. Overall happy with the setup.
