I see a ton of posts with people scoring around 39-40k at 253W, and I'm getting 35k but I feel like I have a bunch of thermal headroom to increase that.

What should I look into to keep the CPU at 253W but improve the performance? It's Cinebench so I'm okay with raising the temps into the 90s.

I also suspect it has something to do with my e-cores only being 7-8c behind the p-cores? They're all around 69c where my p-cores are around 72-77c. Are they boosting too high and pulling too much of that 253W power limit? Is there a way to trade their performance for more p-core performance? Or is that not what my issue is?

This is my load under Cinebench R23

    If you have the headroom just get rid of the limits in XTU by changing the amps to unlimited and getting rid of the P1 and have it just constantly have a stable boost frequency. Its definitely power limited cause my i5-13600k hits like 245W. From there pull down voltages or increase clocks, depending on id you have headroom after getting rid of the power limits.
