I have a z790m itx, which has a pl2 of 241w and pl1 of 150w. I use the 12900kf. I changed the DC load line setting in the motherboard to trick the motherboard into unlocking the wattage completely, and undervolted the cpu with offset -70. I get cinebench r23 scores around 27000, which is what I should be getting. However, is this safe long term? I have fans running on idle 30%.
