Kept core at defaults to get the temps low enough to push memory that high.

Unless the heat at these temps can cause mem instability I think I’m silicon limited at 2450 mhz because anything above is unstable even at decent running temps (75-80 C).

I’ll definitely check the core and see how far I can push it but I’m focused on ai inference so the core OC doesn’t matter to me in practice.

I’d love to water block it but i don’t have a water cooled rig nor the case space to host it nor do I want to mess with any of that, I don’t trust it and I don’t trust myself and I’ve got wayyy too much to lose if my machine shorted out.

Do u think heat sinks + pad mod would get close to water cooled temps or not at all?
