5Ghz + submisions with Asrock motheboards

AOD > CPU Status - Thermal Margin To the rest of that you posted above, running all 8 cores at 5.0 and above is a feat. A feat of the motherboard as well seeing I far exceeded the 220W TDP by doing 5.0 on 8. Stock 4.7 to 4.75 its running 8 cores but above 4.75 it begins dropping the least productive cores to focus on 4 then 2(?) cores. I'm coming to the conclusion you hold something against AMD .......

No, I just don't like the ambiguity of AMD's CPU temperature reporting.

Since I'm an AMD noob, explain this: AOD > CPU Status - Thermal Margin.

Plus, I still don't see a value for the FX-9590's maximum temperature. What is it?

This is a serious, honest question. Nothing sarcastic or implied about it.

I'll let the rest go... for now.

Exactly why I posted it here

Yea yea you two. I'm working on it. It sure isn't as simple as OC'ing an AMD system.
cough...Intel..cough

parsec wrote: In no way does this answer the question. I will try again... What is the maximum temperature, in degrees Centigrade, of the FX-9590 CPU, before thermal throttling begins? Is that what you are calling "Max temp"? That spec is readily available for any Intel processor. I know the answer (there isn't one), but I hoped you would just admit it. Oddly, you can find that spec for other FX series processors, although it is not as clearly defined as Intel does it. This is not a matter of superiority, or fan boy BS (how I HATE that), but really a question. Why does AMD not provide that information to the public?

This is my last opportunity at pleasing you. This spec was just updated.

It is at 57c on the FX-9000's to keep TDP at +/- 220W that the collaboration between AMD and the MB manuf's officially compatible boards keep within the MB design limits. FX-8000's are 61c.


Like it or leave it.

Finally saw this, excellence!!  

Given all the contempt for Kaby Lake by CPU enthusiasts about IPC improvement over Skylake (none), at least (!!) they OC to 5GHz+ with stability. Managing the temperatures at that speed is another story.

Personally, I think an OC should be compared to the base frequency of the processor. The i5-7600K's is 3.8GHz, so that is a 1.3GHz OC for 5.1GHz, which is 34% of the base frequency.

I have my i7-7700K at 5.0GHz now, from a base frequency of 4.2GHz, an 800MHz OC, 19% of the base frequency.

A much more impressive result for the i5-7600K, unless Intel is being conservative with the i5 K processors?
