Do you think that happened because you had insufficient cooling? Its hard to cool these new chips. AMD included.

Its hard to cool these new chips. AMD included.
- Hikikomori 3y agoFor different reasons though. AMD's chiplets produce heat in a small area which makes it hard to transfer heat quickly. Intel just use a shitload more power and thus more heat.
- CooCooCaCha 3y agoThat’s not entirely it though. Modern AMD and Intel chips are built to run at their thermal/frequency limits and will jump to those limits at a moments notice in order to maximize performance. So unless you have powerful cooling you will hit the thermal limit.
- Hikikomori 3y agoI didnt say that it was everything that matters, just commenting on the difference between them.
- kijin 3y agoEven if GP's cooling setup was less than ideal, the chip should have throttled itself to a stable frequency instead of crashing left and right.
- cesarb 3y agoIt might not have throttled fast enough. Without sufficient thermal mass (or with insufficient heat transfer to that thermal mass, for instance if the thermal paste is misapplied), it might heat up too fast for the sensors to keep up.
