Hi. i have some questions.

recently playing with my i7-10700k and manage to OC @ 5.2 all clock with 4000MHZ VengencePro.

My other friend also have the same and exact spec (mobo/ram/aio) but it manage to get @ 5.3 stable on 93c temp.

while mine will crash at 5.3.

Both are using stock termopaste (from Ryujin AIO)

The only difference between me and him is the PSU.

I am using Corsair SF600 while him using CM WME 650

So question is , does the PSU matter or he just got lucky with his Proc.

here is my CPU-z validatation : https://valid.x86.fr/j0vnxj

Any master @ sifu care to educate about this ?

i guess so.. lucky him. thinking to delid but scared for warranty reason.

Nah, just education purposes, just want to know the limits and then use it as normal. Its normal to have curiosity when using K version, and try OC.

Both GC are not installed. We try to avoid differences thus we only use the igpu.

So psu also give some variance and became a variable also for the oc result then.

Some asking me to check a current spike saying that irregular current at house also can make it diff.

what do you mean ? PSU and current, or both me and my friend ?

mine stable at 5.2 @ 1.38v but my friend stable at 5.3 @ 1.38v

what makes me curious is mine cant get 5.3 at the same sitting as my friends.

in theory yes I can push it up with more voltage, but that is not the question at first.
