Overclocking

Overclocking on air

As always we tried to overclock the processor. It certainly is doable but proper liquid cooling is recommended. We got the processor stable at 5100 MHz all-core with a vcore of ~1.5v  This resulted in Cinebench in a score of 2109 points, which is a 4 percent higher score than the 2027 points that the processor reaches on stock settings. The heat production was considerable. This processor does have a soldered heat spreader, which in theory should ensure a much better heat transfer compared to thermal interface material.

As it stands, you can tweak to 5100~5200 MHz under the condition that you have a good LCS cooling unit. Realistically I'd say, leave tweaking for what it is as the defaults of this processors are already really close towards these performance regions.
