It's not really that simple. Besides, by default your CPU already throttles itself a great deal when it's not crunching something serious. What you're asking is silly. [Reply]

Undervolting. Not underclocking.
No, it's not. It's an infamously hot cpu and I don't need the full juice because I'll mostly be 1080p gaming. The cooler it is the more stable it may run, live longer, and still run very close to the same speed. High temps are the cause of a ton of performance problems.

Rausch I’m all for you here bud. But I’ve never once heard of under clocking. I’ve only been building for 5 years so will defer to the masters but why would you want to down grade performance? [Reply]

I'll leave my misstep instead of editing it. [Reply]
Honestly unless you live in an extremely hot house your CPU will be fine. I mean you're talking hotter then 90-95C. That's what those chips maximum rating is [Reply]
I'd imagine a watercooled 5800x will shred any task you throw at it.
You might be under estimating the power of your CPU.
It might get hot when stressed out, but you'd be surprised what it takes to stress them out.
Congrats on the awesome system. My worthless internet advice would be fire it up and throw everything you've got at it. See what happens. Then think about tweaking settings. [Reply]

I got a friend from an old job coming over to look at it if/when it arrives to check for basic installation issues and anything that could be sketchy. We'll make sure the Ram's slotted right and the fans face the right way and then do some heavy lifting... [Reply]
Ok, new PC came in at 4pm today. Turned it on, everything connected correctly and running great, I just need to sign in to my microsoft account.
I don't remember my hotmail password. It's been over a decade since I changed it. I'm now sitting on customer support chat with Taiwo trying to get my password reset because the password reset screen won't load on my 8 year old version of Safari.
Nice new PC sitting in the next room, on step 2 of setting up windows, I can't log in to... [Reply]

I recently had to wait a week while they processed a service ticket to change my email associated to my Microsoft account. They closed the ticket yet my email (that I no longer have) remains the same. Good luck. [Reply]
