Went to do an encode on a video last night and the cpu was quite toasty, I have a Noctua NH-U12 A in a Lancool Mesh II case with a 12700k processor and was thinking about removing whatever the system does to boost speed and the cpu was drawing 155-160w according to cpuz, here is what the temps peaked at all fans at max.

Anybody more familiar with how it does boosts able to instruct on how to disable, I tried lowering performance of CPU from 100% to down to even 90% in power options to no effect and I don't feel comfortable leaving it at around 80c for 12+ hours.

PL1/2 thing is all french to me im afraid, ive never overclocked before, don't mind it running hot but I just thought disabling the overlock for when im encoding overnight would be best and not so loud whilst im sleeping.

Edit
This is it running an encode

Had been thinking about conquering my fears and getting an AIO and one of those Kryosheets but needing to dismantle my PC again to do it must be overcome first lol.

ok, I had a look around in bios couldnt find PL1/2 but I am assuming its name is one with power limit and 4096 next to it, I found out why it was saying 4096 but god knows why its that high for a water cooler because no water cooler is that good.

I switched it to tower air cooler but now it clocks up to 5ghz instead of capping out at 4.7 (I don't believe ive seen over 5,000 before).

So the only setting I would have to touch is the ones that had 4096 in them below? Also shouldn't they be the same and I think ~140w cap would do just fine.
