No not even close. I saw a test of the m1 pro’s two efficiency cores under full load and they used 210mw combined. Intel and AMD are hilarious behind those numbers. Mind u their efficiency cores are both stronger and in fact even with the new nodes I think apples newer chips use a bit more power to help strengthen their ecores but even at double the power per core it wouldn’t be close. The 4 performance cores also used 4 watts under full load so yeah not close on either core type.

Msi’s QVL is the only one I’d remotely trust, they are much more conservative than the other mobo manufacturers so you have a decent chance.

Just so you know all the overcooking 2 ram slot boards are the only time ur all but guaranteed 7200xmp will work. It’s just that so little people buy them they’re not even considered despite being the best for even stock performance and they all tend to have very high quality parts unlike the ‘we know rich people will buy this bcuz it costs the most’ kind of boards above it in price that tend to actually use worse parts lmao.

Does that board happen to be the msi pro z790-P? If so you’re fine the people who are getting ram instability at those frequencies im 1000% sure are from their boards. More proof of this was my 13600k on a z690 board. At first it could only do 6200, than I updated the bios and suddenly 6400 was stable, a few months later my board came out with another new update, now 6600 worked and now it’s stable at 6666mhz. If it was the cpus memory controller as the problem, new bios updates wouldn’t help at all but they did because its the board you cheaped out on thats tbe issue. That’s why you go MSI when doing so because they have so much better minimum memory and vrm quality unlike the atrocious bottom tier z690/z790 boards that gigabyte and especially asus offer. They also will essentially flat out lie in that supported ram speed spec u referenced

Yes that’s what their already released process lasso software is for. This is just a simplified version of process lasso with less features.

What is this linus tech tips ass advice? They bought an i9 and are specifically looking for good suggestions for a reason

Maybe its the low priority causing the issue? I’m not sure why but r24 defaults to “below normal” priority so try setting it to normal and test again.

Actually now that you mention it I wonder if the issues may be due to how hyperthreading interacts with an asymmetric all core frequency? I never managed to get that way of doing an all core stable until I turned hyperthreading off despite the cores being able to do it relatively fine when only 4 were underload but then again my llc is very droopy so they’re also operating under a decently higher voltage under that scenario. Im sure it’s part of the reason tho seeing the extra 20mv did seemingly nothing for stability whatsoever.

I may try 5.8 on the two pcores I used to have that at 20mv lower but I was clock stretching and getting mild instability, geekbench was also giving me about 100 less single core for reference so i am actually getting more performance with lower frequency currently. I am curious if it’ll work now, tho I’ll lyk. HT was also on then and it seems to significantly worsen stability at higher frequencies, so that may be another factor that is now solved. Hell pcores 5 and 6 may not even need to be capped at 5.5ghz anymore with it off.

Hyper threading is off, Pcores are at 5.7ghz when 3 cores are loaded, 5.6ghz all core with p cores’ 5 and 6 limited to 5.5ghz always. Ecores are at 4.5ghz always, ring frequency is at 4.9ghz. Cinebench r23 multicore power usage is at almost exactly 200w on the dot so nothing too bad power wise either.
