The quality is top notch, be sure to try it.

There are a few things to say about coolers and temperature dances being ridiculous.
1) SpeedShift and SpeedStep are the two Intel algorithms. Depending on the activities, they alter the stone's pressure and frequency; for example, if the percentage is not loaded, the frequency reduces from 4700 to 800 almost fast. Because the temperature is monitored immediately rather than according to an average, it varies, which causes the cooler to go wild.

2) In typical motherboards like the Maximus X Hero, there is a light load of coolers—4 temperature ranges that are set in accordance with the speed of rotation of the coolers and CBO pump. As a result, there are measurement stages that range from a few milliseconds (as I understand it by default) to a few seconds. that is, after setting the step for a little period of time, the coolers' speed will change smoothly rather than flickering.

3) Regarding temperatures, they depend on the nuclei's mechanism of synchronization. One core is set to 4300 by default (in turbo mode, 4700), while the others are arranged in decreasing order. However, you may configure the BIOS to synchronize all of the cores such that all six on 4700 and higher function. The temperature rises slightly more in this situation, and the voltage of 1.3+ is set.

I was generally concerned about overheating, but it seems in vain. Prots have excellent overclocking potential, but work best with compatible motherboards.

 
ated 04.02. I switched to Phobya NanoGrease Extreme thermal paste because it is nearly twice as effective as regular ones.
I fitted a handmade, custom-made copper radiator that was passive and installed flow and temperature sensors.
6 cores totaling 4700, manual voltage 120225. Three error-free cycles warm up the maximum in LinX 0.7.0's stress testing to 84 percent at its peak (on average 65). They never swam, not even for the buoys. So, great percent! The pump runs at 20% efficiency and silently during routine chores. I advise generally doing so, but with a typical LSS.

Pros

Who is preparing there? Set the CBO in a cool and silent manner. The temperature in the drain is approximately 40–45 degrees at standard loads, and the voltage per percent is about 1.1V (at idle, it is approximately 32–37 degrees). The temperatures in ordinary tasks range from 50 to 55 degrees when all 6 cores are set to 4700 GHz (in idle, they remain at 37 degrees). The board itself set the voltage to 1.30 to 1.32 when I did stress tests. I fiddled with the power supply, and at 4700 * all 6 cores with 120225V per core, it starts up flawlessly. The CPU only gets as hot as 88 degrees while LinX is running (the peak temperature was 91 degrees when the pump accelerated). This is with CPU SVid and ASUS Multicore Enhancement turned on. Although 85 to 90 degrees may seem like a lot, the horror stories that others have shared here indicate that either the percent is successful, the ASUS is friendly with the board, or everything combined with the CBO permits you to forgo taking a bath. Additionally, the computer is for jobs, not stress testing, and 50 degrees is more than appropriate in daily life. I attempted overclocking with the Asus tool or BIOS up to 5.2 GHz in sync across 6 cores (without scalping) while keeping acceptable temperatures (maximus X hero). A little on the bus (103), the rest is a multiplier, but the voltage is roughly 1.4V - what for? I'm not sure why, given that everything already flies.

Cons

The processor frequencies are up to 4.3 GHz by default in standard mode, so you'll need to drive a little or put on turbo mode. Although I'm not sure if it's necessary—everything seems to move without brakes—I guess. Sharp jumps in the core temperature caused by floating (dramatically shifting) frequencies have little bearing on the stone's real heating, but have an impact on the way fans operate (as monitored on the board).
