5800x up/side grade for itx?

[robnut]

Hey.

I ive got a 5800x and 2080super in my itx build. Ive undervolted and set it to eco mode to make temps ok for me

45c idle, 75c underload. I know the chips are happier higher but doesnt sit with me

Looked at upgrading to a 9600x or similar.

Is this the right move for lower power with same or better performance or is there an intel option I am overlooking?

75C is pretty low for a 5800X, they can hit 90C under load on cinebench easily.

But if you must have lower temps, do it the better way, and do this:

PPC 120W
TDC 75A
EDC 110A

You can also add a -20 Negative undervolt to all cores on the curve optimizer - but YMMV on that one. The first is pretty much proven to work on all of them.
Leave everything else on Auto, no Eco mode preset or anything else. Just the above 2 tweaks.
That might fix your problem

You're aware that would need a new motherboard and memory, right?

Those temps are fine, by the way.
