I appreciate it. I’m not going to overclock. I used to do that but these days I value stability over maximum performance. I’ll go with your suggestion, thank you.
You don’t have to overclock, but I’d at least look at your mobo’s settings. Many mobos set really, really bad, non stock settings by default, especially with XMP memory.
An example: they might default to 1.3V VSOC which is absolutely a “default overclock” and is going to make idle power skyrocket, and your CPU potentially unstable because infinity fabric doesn’t like that. For reference, I personally wouldn’t go over 1.2V VSOC myself and shoot for like 1.1V.
Also, if you don’t turn on XMP at least (aka the RAM’s rated speed), they will run at some slow default and hurt your inference speed rather significantly.

And Igor’s Lab for general text info.
