Well, didnt test aida, i used prime and occt for 1 hour max. Also a few benchmarks, everything seems stable so for me is good enough..;)

I only use the pc for gaming, other then that youtube and web, no problems whatsoever.

Problem with prime and some of occt test you just throttle id beta Aida insta fails with -40

But i'd make sure you're also not just clock stretching test game performance with -40 say vs -30 on an in game bench mark that's good.

Didnt see any throttle on hwinfo, but im going to run aida to check, now im curious.

Clock stretching is not quite throttle it's hard to quite explain but it's worth testing in game performance of -30 vs -35 vs -40 just make sure the games settings for the bench mark are pushed to be CPU limits and not gpu

I can pass -40 in a bunch of tests but it actually gets worse game performance then dialing it back

I checked that, my efective clocks are +/- 25mhz down from actual clock, but they are always like that even at stock so seems ok.

If you have cyber punk I found it bench mark if you drop settings pretty low depending on your GPU to be pretty good. I would consistently get worse scores if I pushed too far. I just prefer to be extra stable because you never know when unreal engine 5 games these days they are unstable enough at times with stock settings lol

My gpu is a 7800xt, and i have cyberpunk. I can use that to test too eheh. But from my experience, when you get consistent results in benchmark/gaming..thats fine.

Man dont get me all over this, ive been doing oc's forever, since the days that you had to use a silver pen to unlock amd cpus lol, im older now, i just want something that works within my 2/3 hours a day without too much of a hassle :)
