What i don't get, is the just bruit force the mesh to the clocks of the cpu, and jack voltage to 1.4v or something, and run a test.
 
There was a Vince (Kingpin) vid with Gamers Nexes from a couple of years ago where they pushed the 7980 to 5700
and mesh to 4ghz, and it swallowed up 9900k for dinner, so its possible.

I mean I am sure it can be done with the correct cooling solution...lol... 

IMO X299 is limited by the cooling solution that is used, mostly due to Intel failing to innovate from a long period of zero competition in the market space... The only reason why there is so much overclocking potential on X299 with sub ambient cooling solutions is due to Intel having to produce a product that will work in any reasonable PC rig. There is a valid argument to be made that Intel inflates the X299's ability to be overclocked, by downclocking them from the start for marketing purposes. However I think they pushed the stock frequencies about as far as they could without causing them to melt in most consumers PC's. While current AMD CPU's have very little room if any at all for overclocking at least you can purchase an AMD CPU knowing that regardless you are getting the full possible performance and that nothing is being left on the table sort of speak, for the main stream consumer this gives AMD a large advantage IMO. It will be interesting to see long term what ends up happening with the Intel Extreme line up...     

Small correction should have read ambient cooling solutions not sub ambient. I changed it...

You will lose some performance. I don't know which GPU you have but I have 1st place in Timespy for a 9800x and a single 2080ti https://www.3dmark.com/spy/13988569
I like the CPU test in Timespy because it shows gains with clock frequency/mesh frequency and memory speed/timings.
 
Maybe could give you a CPU score to aim for.

I really want to try and beat your Timespy score now... lol.

Have at it!

Nice cpu score. I have 9800x as well and hold #1 with a single 1080Ti. Can't wait to see what 3080Ti will do. I haven't seen higher than 11975 for my cpu score and I think that was at 5.2GHz, still testing. My GSkill 3200 cl 16 stock might be what's holding me back from 12000 threshold. I have only been able to get 3800 17 19 19 39 out of them.
 

I think I had 1 or 0 for the avx settings. Not certain. For my GPU I was running 2076 on the core and 1000 over on the memory. Having trouble getting those scores again, and I knew less of what I was doing then than now. lol

So, it looks like from the info, avx 3 in UEFI OC is the more intense one that creates most of the heat, but the
leastly used.
 
I might bring down avx2 to default clocks 3800, and see how well a 5Ghz OC would do, and i adjusted tjmax down to
93c, from a recomendation made about temps.

Be careful adjusting TJMax like that... The TJMax value that you set in the motherboard BIOS is used to calculate the actual temperature of the CPU core. For example if I set TJMax to 95C on my PC it shows a current package temp of 33C however if I set the TJMax to 90C it shows a current package temperature of 29C. That is a 4 degree difference in reported CPU temperature, which if my understanding is correct at 90C the CPU would actually be at 94C, another words it will be running hotter than you think. 

Wow, never thought of it that way.  Even though hwinfo, and coretemp says other?

Ok , gonna drop the bucks on the 10980XE, I know its a heater, but i need speed. Alot of help here is 
appreciated, but i kneed IPC< and threads, and Jay and Steve says, this CPU has the higher core count
and a better OC, Unless someone can debate that:
 
What of the 2nd run of Skylake, and Cascade lakeX has the highest OC chances and IPC then?

dmann304
Got the new Chip, and wow, its hot lol.  Is their a version of Eleet X for Cascade Lake X?

I would not recommend using the Eleet software, there is better software for monitoring and the overclocking is not stable with it.
