AMD doesn't lie like intel, so a 15W tdp doesn't actually use 45-65W like intel. They run cool as can be.

Redo paste with good stuff and it should be about 10C disparity (unless cooler is too small).

Right you are. I had 110 stuck in my head (probably last OC cpu was 110 max). Me has no good memory and it's been a while. You're also forgetting Asucks board. I did a lot of testing and this yields the highest MT scores. Regular pbo +200 was pretty meh at 4.4.

I mean pre zen OC ability. Intel was already waning hard with the 3570k and up. If you didn't have a good chip, you weren't seeing 4.5+ on Intel. Now, the socket 370 Celeron days.... *Sploosh*

I got a meh 5700 nonX to 4.8 with 24/7 safe V. Only one core was weak. The rest seemed to do 5.0. But, yeah, too bad gains aren't that of pre zen. Heavy games do a little better with the all core OC, so that's what I use.

I can't help it, baby.

Yes, I don't use PBO on nonX3D. It's useless to me in a scenario without this 110W limit. It's only enabled on mine for CO, since I need to shave power down to prevent down clocking. If x3D was actually unlocked, then there's no need to rely on software baloney.

PBO is good for a 30 second fix, but c'mon. There's no replacement for actual tinkering. There's no satisfaction with automatic tweaks. And I demand satisfaction XD

Does a self respecting "OCer" use PBO lol For some reason it's not 4.7. it says 4.64...I haven't bothered to keep pushing bclk. Testing was tiresome for 100% stability.

Yeah, I'm not a noob. I'm 39 and been doing PC builds since 12. It's definitely trickier on x370 to be stable, but with proper testing, it's doable.

I'm manually OCed. Yeah, it's power limited, but I can OC regular zen 3 heavily and they run cooler, of course. It's just hard to use enough power unless you have 16 core. Big tower coolers are very effective.

I use it and still don't hit the thermal limit. Water coolers are for Intel clowns.

Well, it's been a while. But still running 5800x3d overclocked on x370 and it's been 100% stable. Yeehaw! Same performance as LOLtel 14900k. Die, Intel, die

Theoretically, they could make an existing LGA chock full of these and stacked on each other as high as thermals allow (dual socket system). It would be so fast that your dick would fly off.
