running cpu at full clock speed 24/7?

[DominicNikon]

why does jayztwocents run his 5960x at full speed overclocked 24/7 not letting it ramp down what are the advantages of this? must be more heat

Full speed and full load are different

so what advantages does it supply?

Where did you see him run at the overclocked speed 24/7?

Not having to mess with adaptive voltage settings. OC, set it, forget it.

 

I run all my systems 24/7 OC'd. The ramp down in wattage due to clockspeed alone is minuscule (~10w for a heavy OC). With average electricity prices at $0.16/kWh in the U.S. it's not going to make much difference. You're only going to save a considerable amount of money if you lower your OC+voltage and run your system at full load 24/7.

should i use my i5 with out turbo boost and stuff and just run 4.5ghz at 1.345V 24/7?

Well, yeah.

 

You should always be donating your idle compute power anyway, so you might as well give it OCed performance.

That's up to you. There is no real benefit though. I run mine oc'd to 4.4 with turbo and speed stepping enabled as well as adaptive voltage. But if you don't care that your cpu is running full pin when it doesn't need to, then be my guest.

Completely a personal decision if you want to take the time to dial in adaptive. I run synth tests often enough to the point that it's more of a PIA to constantly switch back and forth, and I don't care about power consumption on my main machine.

 

1.345 for 4.5? That's rough

Yeah I any lower voltage and it crashes
