In order for my CPU to have constant high boost I keep it as cool as possible. If I let it get hot from 62C max than it is now to 75C that it was back in August I will loose about 150MHz of all core boost. if I let it even near 90C I will loose another 150MHz. So... I keep it cool to keep it boosty, and not throttly... Do you get it?It is to demonstrate how your cooler can operate at a more efficient profile. You don't run any cpu, just ryzen 3000 cpus as they are the only group included in this topic to demonstrate heatsink transmittance issues.
Temperature as you know, has thermal equilibrium in its basis and every heat transfer works according to the temperature vector. Ideal conductors would run at equal heat density, a.k.a temperature - with the ihs on contact. That does not mean run it ideally at maximum heat.
Just run it with a supposedly better contact interface and see if it has the required provisions whenever you might need it. It is better to have a constant boost cpu than throttly throttly, no?
Wait... we are about to hot up our brains at 95C and see if we can dissipate more thoughts in the form of heat. You know, enegry never dies into nothingness or either born out of nothing... only changing form...Having just read every post for the entire 6 pages (yes, it's unbelievable this debate went on so long), the biggest question I'm left wondering after all this text... is why this thread is even still continuing?
The topic is stupid and the arguments provided are flawed even in logical terms.....
Let it die, folks... let it die.
You must have a selective bias when I tried to make up for the software's shortcoming. You don't need 1.3v for base performance and you don't need 1.4v to achieve your boost. Don't hold me responsible for your every contrivance, it is only my compassion offer you are turning down. I cannot be the target of your rising inferno, point it at its source.If I let it get hot from 62C max than it is now to 75C that it was back in August I will loose about 150MHz of all core boost.
