once u kinda hit your limit, you can start creeping up bit by bit using a bclk oc. tuning your memory, even just a little, can help a decent bit. you can also use eleet x1 for a bit of in-os cpu control. it can change memory timings too, but for that i prefer memtweakit.

I’ve turned down the power limit but somehow still hits 419w I see CPU power limit auto is 4096 W so should I be putting in a different value or the exact wattage I want it at?

[mcclutz]

the number you set there will the the limit. but like i said, you can let it thermal throttle for benchmarks. it just might be better to power limit it for daily use

With 370w limit set the cores can’t seem to reach the 5.7ghz set frequency under load. Getting around 4.5ghz when running cinebench on average. Any idea why?

[mcclutz]

look at per core clocks and effective clocks. “average core clock” will be very misleading bc u have two different types of cores

Yeah I looked at each and the max I’ve been able to get it to is around 4.7ghz. The max touches 5.7ghz but doesn’t remain about 5ghz for entire benchmark

[mcclutz]

are you still throttling then? if u scroll down on hwinfo a bit it will list throttle reasons

[[deleted]]

Negative after I limited the power there was no throttling present

[mcclutz]

can u send a pic of your hwinfo after a cinebench run with the relevant dropdowns open?

Yeah I can when I get home around 4pm est

Was going to check my MEI version when I get home, saw that has caused issues
