    Not every chip can hit 5.0GHz and the voltage required to get there is usually very bad for the chip itself. Don't be discouraged
    if you can't hit that clock speed and, even if you can, it's not practical for everyday use.
    Do not send me a PM if what you want to talk about isn't absolutely private.
    Ask your questions on the forum where others can also benefit from the information.

    Yep, I wouldn't complain if I was sitting at 4.7 or 4.8 mind you but 5.0 just seems like a nice #.
    As for the voltage and heat, that's why the H100 is there
