5800X PPT/TDC/EDC Testing

	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J
1	Test Number	PPT	TDC	EDC	Cinebench R20 MC	Max Temp	Ambient Temp	Idle Temp	Single Core Max Boost	Notes

2	1	500	200	220	6074	90	25	37	4.85GHz	Slowly creeps up to 90 and hits 90 about ~10-15s into the test
3	2	142	90	140	6065	90	25	38	4.85GHz	Slowly creeps up to 90, similar to test 1
4	3	125	90	125	6041	82.6	25	37	4.85GHz	Instant improvement by limiting PPT, same MC score and SC boost is 4.85
5	4	120	90	125	6030	81.8	26	37	4.85GHz	Slight improvement in temps, score down slightly, decrease PPT further
6	5	118	90	125	5966	80.3	26	37	4.85GHz	Slight improvement in temps again but score down further, use PPT = 120 and test TDC
7	6	120	85	125	6033	81.5	26	38	4.85GHz	Trial 6 and Trial 4 look similar, TDC = 85 is probably not doing anything, try 80
8	7	120	80	125	6019	80.9	26	38	4.85GHz	Slight improvement in temps an CBMC score went down slightly but margin of error? Retest
9	8	120	80	125	5933	81.8	26	38	4.85GHz	Temp got worse and CBMC score went down, probably margin of error and expect a score around this, try TDC = 75
10	9	120	75	125	5965	78.1	26	38	4.85GHz	3 degree drop in Tmax and CBMC down slightly, looks good here so far
11	10	120	85	125	6042	81.8	27	38	4.85GHz	TDC = 85 gives Tmax = 81.8C, this tells me that the limit for TDP that the processor requires is ~80 because using 75 seems to drop scores, try EDC next @ TDC = 85
12	11	120	85	120	6022	81	27	38	4.85GHz	EDC = 120 does not give a significant change over trial 10
13	12	120	85	115	6024	81.1	26	39	4.85GHz	EDC = 115 makes no noticable difference
14	13	120	85	110	6037	81.6	27	40	4.85GHz	EDC = 110 again makes no noticable difference, margin of error
15	14	120	85	100	5992	81.9	27	39	4.85GHz	EDC = 100, CB R20 multicore score drops slightly but temp went up, might be margin of error, too lazy to test another run, try EDC = 90 next
16	15	120	85	90	5562	78.8	27	39	4.85GHz	EDC = 90 drops scores significantly, somewhere between 100 and 110 is the sweet spot, try 110 again, big drop in score and minor drop in temp
17	16	120	85	110	6024	81	28	39	4.85GHz	Score back up and temp at 81, tells me that the ideal is somewhere between 110 and 100
18	17	120	85	105	6016	81	28	40	4.85GHz	Score remains mostly unchanged, probably margin of error, limit is probably ~105-110, because a drop in EDC to 90 meant such a big drop in performance, I will leave this at 110, seems like my processor is sensitive to EDC when it comes to performance
19	18	120	75	110	5983	78	28	40	4.85GHz	Note idle temp and ambient temp creeping up, that is because I am running lots of benchmarks so the area my PC is at is becoming a space heater, air generally warmer in that area due to heat generated. TDC = 75 drops temps 3 deg and score is still good
20	19	120	80	110	5962	81.5	28	40	4.85GHz	TDC = 80 is giving me a Tmax of 81.5 indicating that the limit the motherboard is providing is somewhere between 75 and 80
21	20	120	75	110	5993	77.8	28	41	4.85GHz	Putting TDC = 75 seems to give no performance loss/maybe slight but good temp gain, will probably leave at 75
22	21	120	70	110	5914	74.3	28	41	4.85GHz	Another 3C drop but also a drop in performance, 74 is a good temp though, but let's try two more trials at TDC = 75 to see what we get
23	22	120	75	110	5976	78.1	28	39	4.85GHz	Score is still pretty good, good temps now too
24	23	120	75	110	5961	78.1	28	39	4.85GHz	Score is good, temp exactly the same, going to sleep now, will try test again tomorrow
25	24	120	75	110	6070	71	21	37	4.85GHz	Morning after, ambient temp drop and PC has had time to cool down, really good temps, surprised me, score was good too, see post for proof
26	25	120	75	110	6056	72	21	37	4.85GHz	Again, another consistent score, these are the settings that I am going to settle on
27	26	500	200	220	6038	90	21	37	4.85GHz	Testing baseline again in new ambient temp, hit 90C right as test was about to end
