I have my i5 8600k on a MSI Z370 A-PRO motherboard with an EGVA AIO water cooler.
I've set my Clock speed at 5000MHZ, but when I run Cinebench R20 it runs at 5000 for about 20 seconds then throttles down to around 4500 MHZ. I am using CPUID Hardware Monitor to monitor clock speeds and temperatures. I did adjust to voltage to 1.280, but all my other voltage settings are left on auto. I'm nervous to start adjusting those, when I don't really understand what they do. I've also adjusted my fan curves so the fan goes to 100% at 65C, just to keep the temperature down in the case. I am under the impression that this chip should be able to comfortably tolerate temperatures over 80C.
Is my CPU being limited by the power delivery? How do I find out?
