because the Processor wants to hit 5GHz any undervolting only goes towards more headroom for higher Hz.Thank you for your answer
Did you tried to undervolt your CPU ?
What is the average CPU temp during gaming cession ? I guess (and hope) it is not at 100C
AAA games on ultra whilst streaming on obs (using the processor streaming rather than the nvidia one because it was better imo) the processor goes between 90-100C with it varying between 3900-4200MHz on all cores.
While not streaming its around 4200-4700Mhz on all cores but still at 100C
Older games have better temps which are around the 70-80 region. but the processor is barely hitting 20% usage and the cores remaining at 5GHz.
The only way to get the temps down is to lower the multiplier on the CPU for 8 core workloads which defeat the purpose of having a 9900k. The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long. The core is more likely to current throttle rather than thermal throttle in most instances from my own observations once an undervolt is applied.
To be honest I really probably didn't need the 9900k but you could say this was a bit like buying a sports car to drive to work.
Compared to the Alienware 51m this is a better buy IMO, even though the Alienware has better current draw because two power bricks, it runs so hot the failure rate is worse.
I use my laptop for gaming for a few hours every day after work. I expect the processor will be obsolete before it fails. I doubt there are much object studies on running temps and fail rate other than common sense observations on deformation effects on silicon and metal over time.
