5800x cooled by noctua nh-l9a , what temps/clocks should I expect. Ideally I want to hard lock it to 65w max, and then do the PBO2 above to improve efficiency.


Doing the BMW blender render my processor hits the 90C package temp limit, then ryzen starts lowering clocks. Starts at about 85w, finishes the test at about 60w @3.7ghz. 3m 21s

Is this expected? Or do I need to reapply thermal paste?
