i suppose the thing to do then is go manual, start at 1.375v run bench, then back to bios drop 0.02v (1.355v)at a time run bench and repeat, it should crash not drop scores once it runs out of voltage. Never seen one do this, very strange behaviour
I will try that and see how I get in. Is there any issues running it they I currently have it set up?
What are you going to be using the system for? My Cinebench temps are 20c higher than gaming, in titles that stress the CPU a fair bit.
Gaming will be the most intense thing it will be used for. I ran COD Cold War for an hour last night and it was sitting around 60 to 65c on the pcores with peaks to 80c.
Those temps are fine but as it's winter I'd still be looking to lower them for the warmer months.
Fair point, mind you it was fairly warm in the room last night lol
At the moment I run my 12900k with a NH-D15, undervolted (-0.06, not tried any lower yet) and PL2 restricted at 125W, as I will never need all cores maxed. The E cores will handle day to day tasks, mostly in Visual Studio, while the P cores will take care of gaming. I expect both core types to come in to play when running a couple of virtual machines, but I doubt I will ever need more than the 125W limit provides. Cinebench R23 just hits 25k while the CPU doesn't pass 60C. CP2077 pushes the GPU up to 61C, while the CPU naps. The system remains silent throughout.
I'll have a look at setting the vcore sometime in the near future.
Those temps look awesome. How do you set the PL2?
I'm new to the 12900k myself having just moved up from a 3770k. PL1/PL2 will be in the BIOS, PL meaning Power Limit. I'm using the Maximus Hero board which has - Extreme Tweaker > Internal CPU Power Management > Long Duration Package Power Limit(PL1) & Short Duration Package Power Limit(PL2). Both by default, on this board, were set to default 4096. PL1 is normally 125W, while PL2 is 241W. I simply set both PL1 and 2 to 125.

I still think water cooling is only for those who keep a toaster by the bath hence have chosen the Fractal Torrent case for air cooling.
Thanks for the info
