Bought a used, open box without original box ROG Z690 Maximus and ordered a 12100 just for a boot test. Plan is (was?) to return it after checking that all’s well with the motherboard and keep an eye for sales in i7s and i9s this season, just happened to glance at the Silicon Prediction (SP) score and it says 148! Wtf? I believe the average for the 13900k is like 99 with the best being around 115. Does this mean anything in the context of an i3 or is it sort of meaningless?
If I’m not wrong you can resit the chip to force a new sp reading. Anyway I don’t know how far you can go in oc with only the base clock
