good practice to run 14900 at 3.2 GHz so it stays at 35°? /s

this popped up in my astrophysics research group slack channel and I thought y'all might find it funny. I may have info dumped in the replies -_-

 

 

Waiting to hear back on what kind of cooling system they are running (and if its a 14900 or a 14900k), sent them a screenshot of Intel's product page listing 100°C as the accepted max operating temperature, suggested they set a lower thermal throttle if they're concerned about it. 
Are contact frames still recommended for raptor lake and raptor lake refresh systems, or did Intel fix the warping caused by the ILMs for z790 (and down-stack) motherboards?

Intel Turbo Boost was designed by Intel so the CPU runs as fast as possible within the power and thermal limits set by Intel. The goal is to provide maximum performance. This allows end users to enjoy a high performing computer without ever having to worry about what temperature the cores are running at. Thermal throttling works fantastic. It makes sure the CPU cores never reach a dangerous temperature. The CPU speed will be automatically adjusted hundreds of times per second to keep the CPU from ever reaching or exceeding the Intel specified 100°C limit. 

 

The turbo power limits and the maximum temperature are both fully adjustable. Adjusting either or both of these is a far better idea than disabling Intel Turbo Boost. 

 

The 12th Gen and newer CPU attachment frame was not one of Intel's better ideas. A contact frame usually improves temperatures but it is not necessary for most of Intel's customers. 

 

Anyone that limits a 14900 to 3.2 GHz does not know what they are doing. Instead of astrophysics they should take a course in how modern computers work. Running a 14900 at its base frequency is like buying a Kentucky Derby race horse and then putting this horse to work pulling an apple cart while giving kids a pony ride in the horse's spare time.
