I’m still in a little disbelief unless this is normal.. I hardly have undervolting and overclocking experience, yet I’ve managed to get this 9800x3d at +200mhz on core & -45 offset while stable..
I can stream, and game at 2k 360hz with 2 side monitors a total of 3, run so many applications the cpu is at 100% with no issues, it handles -15 offset to now the highest I’ve tried -45 offset, I had -40 for a while and then went down to see if I was clock stretching but effective says 5.35 to 5.415 on all cores with 5.45 max during regular use. Temps even with -20 offset never crossed 90 on multi core. With – 45 offset it’s at 60c MAX during cinebench 2026 test. I don’t even know the ceiling yet? Do I try -50 offset? What is the limit where it stops you?
