Its SP103.

However, from what I have read you can have a high SP rating but dog poo IMC

not bad then!
above average for sure, I think i've seen as high as SP110

My old sp97 used to do 5.4p full stable with a delid for temps/volts

could sell it for a premium I guess, or just enjoy that lower vcore 5.3ghz

SP97 and Sp103 dopnt think there is much difference.

I can do 5.4GHZ but the power draw is mental, trying to save on electricity lol. Also my 10900k is not delided. Running on a 360 AIO.

I think the world record 10900K was Sp127?

I've seen some of the newer motherboards have an addition to the latest bios' where they've added a MC rating as well.

If yours doesn't then the only way of knowing is comparing yours with other CPU's. Yours seems pretty decent.

Ah, will check the latest bios for my MB.

Golden IMC would probably be something that can achieve 4600 stably with 1.35 vccIO or less. Most if not all 10900k's should do 4200-4400 however yours does look promising with vccio needed for 4200.
