dmann304And at 4800mhz ... When I do run r20, or OCCT, the cpu will drop to 3000ghz or even 3800, normal?

When overclocking CPU are you using 'Ratio Limit' in BIOS or 'Per core'?
What are your AVX2 and AVX3 offsets?
Are your EIST, Turbo Mode, and CPU C states enabled or disabled?
Which Windows power plan are you using?
 

Very informative, When dropping this new chip in. I forgot it's a must to do a reset and then do settings because of the new chip being a little different than the 10920. I'm pretty much been down that road before, And with a chip this powerful, is it best to run it off the battery un? U p s or on its own outlet? Also board shows avx 1 and avx 2 on dark definition.

Agree, but under load, that thing was pegging the max of watts it can handle. But still good idea.

The system is plugged in to u p s, Just not the battery side. It was causing my UPS to make real loud. Screeching sounds when on a heavy load. End because now I have 18 core CPU in there. It adds more wattage demand to the battery side of the UPS which might have caused it hard restart because that did not happen with the same. Uefi setting's as I did with the 10920.

Also in your explanation, What about the turbo boost3 setting? When getting a baseline with the instructions you gave. Do I need to keep this enabled or keep it disabled? As I been doing?

I will probably test that, I'm sort of concerned more about the world thread the boss core that has highest mhz. Seems it's happy at 48ghz, but seems to be stable at 30mesh and offset of 3 on avx when getting baseline test and enabling xmp in memory, should I do anything with sub timings? Cuz with xmp profile my latency is garbage by default and folks tweak subs to lower latency

I'm focused more on single core performance, and a balance of performance
on the other threads, withought thermal trottling. But the xmp profile?? After a baseline test with occt. And where in occt dies it show if cpu is throttling?

I don't think it's an all core at 48x with avx offsets of 3, I read debt when you tighten the subtiming and increase the memory speed off the xmp, That could put a lot of strain on the memory controller.and when I had mesh at 32x, that added more heat. Seems folks claim there is a very slight increase in performance running this higher , I tested this in 3D mark. And I noticed that the score was the same in times pythons. But would get me as why do I have to run this chip at 1,29 v when gamers nexus and jay got away with 1.22v at 49x? And I'm doing push pull 420 aio. And what about the Vin score 1.8v??

Once again, there is a number of reasons ‘why’ something like that happens, from “silicon lottery” (do you really think Intel will send mega-influencers random, and not cherry picked, copy of something for the review?) onwards, so your guess why is as good as mine or anybody else’s. Not to mention none of us watched over your and their shoulder to be able to give even semi-educated guess what is resulting in difference. So I won’t be going down that rabbit’s hole.
 
So once again, you shouldn’t be comparing yourself to them. Instead you should go to every enthusiast forum, search what real world people are typically able to accomplish, and that will give you better idea of what _MIGHT_ be _REALISTICALLY_ possible (I never did extensive research on 10980XE but IIRC figures were typically lower than your dream ones).
 

dmann304And I noticed right around 4.6 4.7 It's starts to really heat up even at 1.2v It's starts to heat up at 4,6 it scores over 10k in R20. Over three thousand points higher than when it was at 4,8. Seems to be a huge gap between those two frequencies.

 
First, every chip has such behavior, that as frequency starts reaching its limit temperature will start increasing exponentially and once you pass certain spot temperature will be getting out of control even at smallest frequency/workload increase and in turn chip will be throttling down.
 
Second, “Right around 4.6 4.7 it starts to really heat up”. You are not providing almost any information one can use to help you. _WHAT_ is the temperature after an hour run? 80? 85? 90? Temperature of what? Average of cores? Max core? Package? Is that at 4.6 or 4.7? Are those temperatures raising because your non-AVX frequency went up or because your effective AVX frequency (base minus offset) went up and, if later, what are your AVX offsets when that happens? Are throttling flags raised when that happens and which ones? We can’t read your mind.
 
Next, something is telling me you aren’t following tuning instructions I earlier spent time to write up for you. If you did and used OCCT to figure out maximum non-AVX/AVX2/AVX3 frequencies chip still has fused voltages for and at which OCCT doesn’t show overheating nor throttling back even after an hour then Cinebench wouldn’t either.
 
Last, but not least, “… even at 1.2v … and what about the Vin score 1.8v??” … Didn’t I say one should leave voltages on auto while finding upper limit of frequencies for which Intel has baked (aka fused) voltage tables into the CPU? One should start manually tweaking voltages only once one starts using multipliers for which CPU doesn’t internally have voltage table or if tests show system is unstable when using ‘auto’ voltage while not exceeding fused multipliers. What does HWInfo64 say are fused ratio limits and AVX offsets for your CPU? Find out what is maximum still fused multiplier you can reach with still fused voltages first, everything else later. Otherwise throwing voltages at random against the wall to see what might stick is a waste of time spinning in the circles chasing the tail.
 

dmann304I don't think it's an all core at 48x with avx offsets of 3 …

 
Either I am misunderstanding what you said or you are misunderstanding what I said. What I am saying is: If you use ‘per core’ ratios and set each core individually to different multiplier (say best one to 45x and worst one to 41x) and use, for example, 3 for AVX2 offset moment you hit AVX2 workload you won’t end up with 4.2 for best core and 3.8 for worst, it will end up 4.2 for _ALL_.

Very stable, and happy with 4.7.  Run 1.265v, 32mesh, avx offset of 3, and xmp with tight subs.

However, i heard if you populate PCI-ex slots with 3 nvme cards, and usb card, its recommended to
add additional power to PCI-ex when overcloking, but of the pulll from the lanes,
