CPU: Intel i9-10900K
GPU: RTX 2070 Super (OC Curve)
Mobo: Gigabyte Aorus Elite with Wifi
Ram: 32GB Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB 3200mhz
Case: Corsair AIR 540
Cooling: Noctua NH-D15

Was tested and working fine with all cores at 4.8ghz from the previous seller at 1.285v, although currently running it at all core 5ghz at the same voltage of 1.285v. Current temps in Battlefield 2042 are around 45C, while in windows it's running at 26C.

I wont be overclocking it beyond 5ghz any time soon, but what sort of averages should I get out of this compared to others using the same CPU? Cheers :)
 
Silicon quality will always mean there's going to be some variation between cpus, even if they are the same model.
That being said Running 5ghz all core at under 1.3V is good, I have a dog of a chip that needs 1.32V to hit that.
If it stays under 60C while you're playing your game of choice, or doing whatever work, I'd call it a day and don't worry about it.

Just an update, I thought I'd try 5.1ghz just to see what it could do, and after getting a few BSOD's in Skyrim upon launch I up'd the voltages from 1.285v to 1.308v and played a good three hours worth of Battlefield 2042 and Skyrim launches and plays perfectly. Temps have only increased to 48c in Battlefield 2042, while in Windows temps have gone from 26-28c. So I shall leave it there! :)

Cheers! :D
