mid to high 70s

Good temps.

I keep my firend's 5960X under 70 but that's because he refuses to dust off his radiator so it always leads to excessive temps down the road. My only advice now is to get the voltage as low as possible. The aforementioned 8 core runs 4.1 all core and 4.3 6 core, with 1.15 volts, so I bet you can do even better.

I'm trying to over clock my 6950x to 4 gHz. So far, I've seen it go through multiple consecutive Cinebench runs at 1.21 core voltage, but temps reach mid to high 70s and I'm using a CLC AIO. Are these normal temps for the frequency and voltage? Does anyone have experience running at this frequency and a lower voltage and remaining stable?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

That's a pretty good overclock. Is he using an AIO CLC?

Yeah, he is using something from Corsair, like an H100i or whatever.
