Not sure where I should post this since it’s about CPU, Overclocking & cooling, and Motherboards so I will just post it in General. Mods feel free to move it if needed.
I recently moved from a custom water cooling set up with 2 560mm radiators to an ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 420 CLC as my custom cooling setup was getting old (6 years without servicing), and I was concerned about the possibility of failure and leaks as a result.
Understandably my temps now are a little higher than they were, but when stressing my CPU with programmes that use AVX2 or AVX512 the core temperatures go up to 108 degrees Celsius and does not throttle (TjMax is 110 degrees Celsius). I don’t recall what the temperatures where like running AVX software under custom water-cooling setup, but it must have been low enough for me not to be concerned about.
In normal usage the temperatures are fine, idling at 30 degrees Celsius and up to 45 degrees Celsius when running games and normal programs with the occasional spike at 65 degrees Celsius. My motherboard settings for negative offset are set to auto, but this does not seem to be dropping the frequency and is therefore allowing AVX programmes to run all 18 cores @4.5 GHz!
108 degrees Celsius seems a little hot even if its within Intel specifications. I cannot find any recommended values for AVX2 and AVX512 negative offset on Intel’s or ASUS websites. Should I just ignore AVX programmes and carry on regardless? If not, what temperature should I aim at when setting the negative offset manually? Base clock is 2.6GHz, I am thinking that would be the safest negative offset setting to use.
System specs
Intel Core i9 7980XE @ 4.5GHz, (de-lidded and liquid metal pasted)
128GB Corsair @ 2666MHz (16-18-18-35)
ASUS WS X299 PRO_SE
24GB GeForce RTX 4090 (ZOTAC International)
1.5GB INTEL Optane SSDPE21D015TA/ 7.5TB (16*500GB SSD RAID 5)
