You can run it off a U12S without throttling, unless you have one of the stupid motherboards that does an intel and unlocks PBO by defaultI sold it because the 5800x is what everyone thinks Intel CPUs are. Stock out of the box it's pushed to the absolute max. Total stock would thermal throttle (90c) on a Noctua NH-D15 on CB23. It could be tamed by reducing PPT, EDC, and TDC, but what's the point of spending $450 on a CPU that you have to essentially tweak down to make functional? Performance was fine, and for someone who wants to take the time working with PBO2 and CO it's pretty tweakable, but I really don't have the patience or time for that.
The problem is that they'll sit around 80C regardless of what cooler you use, and that triggers people.
