Yes, I don't think you have anything to worry about.

I'm not using an Asus motherboard so I don't know what exactly the different LLC settings correspond to and how many levels there are. I thought that the higher numbers are more aggressive than the lower resulting in less vdroop. As long as you're not dropping down to voltage that is making you...

When I went in person to Microcenter on launch day I was told the 13th gen lineup was just on sale for launch day so I guess it was always the plan to charge more. At least it isn't as bad as everywhere else online.

Different motherboards may have it labeled differently but offset would generally refer to adaptive mode. Is that on fixed voltage? I would have expected the more aggressive llc setting to keep the voltage much closer to what you set it to. But in general voltage drop is perfectly normal and...

Yes, you can leave it as it is. Everything already looks good with your setup and you have improved your temperatures. The frequency will still drop in manual mode but the vcore won't adjust other than vdroop. The VID shows what the CPU is requesting but that is overriden by the manual vcore...

Adaptive won't lower your temperature under load but the advantage is that it will run at a lower voltage at idle or whenever your computer isn't at full speed. Adaptive voltage automatically sets a voltage by frequency and offset is an amount you manually specify to alter voltages. So if your...

Yeah. I was getting around 30400 at default clocks. It's paired with GSkill RAM running at 6200mhz, it's a 6400mhz kit but has stability issues running at the xmp default settings so I backed it off a little. And I do think your temperatures are as good as you can get with this processor. I now...

I'll wait until they have an ultrawide with 2160p vertical so I can at least get normal 4k for games that don't work well with the ultrawide format. Also while I have a Samsung OLED tv and occasionally use it for games, I'd like to wait a while longer on others experience with using it as a main...

Nice. It looks like that acoustic noise setting would be for that setting you described so you could turn back on c state if you'd like. The rest is looking good, I would just make sure everything is stable with the lowered voltage in a more robust stress test. Cinebench is great for finding a...

I'm just going to take what you said here and in some of the other threads you made and respond to it all here to try to keep it in one place. That's about on par with what I get from mine at default. Yes, default voltage ran rather high for me as well. I was able to pass a cinebench run...

Got mine and installed it. From the test I did performing 10 minute run in cinebench temperatures were on average 2 degrees cooler after installing the plate. Going to run it again after another day to see if there's any other change after letting the the paste dry, but I'm not expecting any...

I'm using the NH-D15 chromax.black. I've also ordered the thermaltake contact frame to see if that helps at all. For gaming I don't really have concern but I want to test out a modest overclock and any benchmarking or stress testing hits thermal throttling too quickly to be useful.

The curve is something that I don't even think about or notice when using it, and I've never been a fan of curved screens. I avoided them until the G9 which I liked but really didn't get enough use of with the ultrawide format.

Power shouldn't be an issue unless you just want to get ATX 3.0 PSU. I've been testing on Cyberpunk 2077 on a 4090/137000k setup with a 4k 240hz monitor. Whole system draw is averaging between 550-600 watts non-overclocked and with a little undervolting to improve efficiency. CPU temps are in...

Between this and the last gen I've never had any success getting an FE card added and successfully checked out at Best Buy. While I'd prefer an FE I'd rather just go down and grab something from Microcenter than waste an hour refreshing BB constantly in the hopes of seeing that 'Add to Cart'...
