There's a way (at least on my Intel) to tell the processor to clock down a certain number of steps depending on whether AVX is being executed. So, for the majority of stuff that didn't use AVX I let 'er rip, but when AVX is running it clocks down a couple steps. I could use less voltage, and this CPU is fast enough. I think it's a 13900k.


Ah, that's an interesting feature of new CPUs, I didn't know about it! Thanks for telling!
