*These CPUs run hot, so I have it set to a -2 Turbo Ratio Offset on P cores and E cores to keep temps down and prevent thermal throttling. That just means it won't turbo quite as high as it could. Essentially it's a minor performance hit you probably will never notice with the advantage of keeping the CPU cooler. You can see the slight performance hit in the benchmarks I have provided that test CPU performance. Scores are still right within average.
**Trident Z5 RGB - XMP speed is 7200MHz, but it was not stable at that speed on this particular motherboard/cpu combo, so I lowered the speed a little and tightened the timings. Still plenty fast!
