Thanks for the tip, yes I am aware of a more attentive manner of overclocking. As you pointed out it takes much time and persistence to achieve an optimum score. My workloads for each machine is consuming enough. As well, both my 10980xe and the 7920x are air-cooled vs water cooled, I’m of the doctrine “KISS” (keep it simple…). So my overclocking profiles are mild and fan profiles are set to maintain a lower db. It is interesting though, that the IPC of the HCC CPU’s on the X299 platform are still relevant and able to perform timely, significantly sophisticated computational and simulation workloads, at least for me. Although I am researching for a new HEDT build, still deciding on whether it should be AMD TRX50, WRX90, or Intel W790 platforms; as AVX512 is important for my workloads.
