I’ve been running my 9700X for about two months now with the following settings:
- PPT: 162 W
- TDC: 120 A
- EDC: 180 A
- Boost override: +200 MHz
- Curve Optimizer: all cores -31
- Thermal limit: 95 °C
So far this setup holds up without crashing or major thermal throttling under 360mm AIO. Cinebench R23 and R24 performance is noticeably better compared to stock.
I’m curious how others are balancing power limits vs CO on this chip. Has anyone found higher efficiency/performance gains with AIO cooling?
