Actually, since the T junction of Intel CPU's is 99 degrees, and they start throttling at somewhere in the 80 degree range, triggering thermal throttling doesn't necessarily mean insufficient cooling, it just means Intel set it to start throttling earlier than necessary. Many laptops run at 99...

I'm not stupid, I always keep my CPU below 99 degrees celsius and I'm using one of the best coolers, it's mounted directly on the die and it's a Thermalright IB-E Extreme. Also, I will say from experience with past overclocking that if you perfectly dial in the Vcore voltage, your CPU will...

I was testing it under load with AIDA 64 and it was still running at stock speed (4ghz). I figured out how to fix it though. I just had to turn thermal throttling off, and a couple other pesky intel settings had to be tuned off. Now it's running at 5ghz no problem, and I was able to dial back...

I set the core ratio to 50 (5ghz), set all current/power limits to max, and changed the voltage to 1.4v, (which everyone says is too high, but I'm used to running my CPU's at 1.4-1.5v and it never broke it), but when I boot into windows it still runs at stock speeds. Then when I restart into the...
