Why would you want to run "4.8GHz under any situation" when you could run 5GHz with a -2 AVX offset at most likely the same temps and voltage? Just so you can feel better about saying what your overclock is without having to specify an offset?It's more that I just don't think its entirely accurate to say its a 5ghz overclock if in the most demanding situations its actually running at 4.8ghz (and as I said, a lot of games that aren't even that demanding but trigger AVX instructions thus the throttling). I'm more than happy that my CPU can run all cores/threads at 4.8ghz under any situation, just took a delid, watercooling and lots of voltage to get there. Which is why I roll my eyes when I see people claiming huge overclocks with equivalently huge avx offsets, just feels like it defeats the purpose a bit.
Get used to people using AVX offsets in their overclocks. It is there for s reason. As core numbers increase it becomes more necessary. x299 can really become a fireball without it.
