I have been trying to dial back my 13900k to manage heat and maxmize longevity while running it as fast as I can in the meantime.

I dialed back the ratio on the specific cores that were boosting to 5.8 back to 5.5.

I reduced the heat by adjusting to llC 3, and loadline values of AC_LL of .17 and DC_LL of 1.02.

It now runs amazingly rarely breaking 60C even when crunching.

VID goes as high as about 1.35 V when crunching and sits at .7 when idle.

But I noticed some things I hadn’t seen before on HWinfo64:

These limits show as “Yes” 100% of the time even when sitting at idle.

Was hoping someone could describe what these limits are and if this is a concern that they show-up consistently as limited.
