ROG realbench
4.2ghz 1.080v 69C
4.5ghz 1.150v 79C
4.6ghz 1.180v 84C
4.7ghz 1.230v 91C
all of them are 10 hour runs
which one would you prefer? 80+ is a little hot or not?

 
Solution
4.5 @ 79 is best, after that you see diminishing returns for heat generated : GHz achieved. That's best if you're willing to sacrifice life span of the chip though.

Otherwise, 4.2 @ 69 will see the longest life span while still being an overachiever

got too small case for it, cryorig C7 cooler, 58mm space. and it's delidded already
 
80c is perfectly safe if you're not pumping a ton of voltage into it, especially if it's not sitting there all day. I'd probably go with 4.5 or 4.6ghz. That last 100mhz for 4.7 is only providing an extra 2% performance for probably something like 10-25% more power.

I think im gonna choose that 4.5 @ 79C actually while gaming it's 50-65C which is fine I think.
If I wanted to I could get a smaller gpu and get a small AIO aswell ;)
