Don't know if I've just got a good chip...But after reading a few posts with people saying that it runs hot when pushed, I'm surprised at how well it runs at 4.7 all cores. Or is 4.7 just pretty conservative for this chip? The test below is running Prime95 (26.6) small fft. Even after an hour or so, I've not seen temps go above 60C. CPU cooling is U14S in push/pull. Aluminium case with good air flow and a fair bit cooler ambient today I suppose (probably around 17C).

Motherboard is an MSI Z370 Gaming M5. Just changed the ratio to 47 and left everything else alone (EG. voltage on Auto).
