If you're going for 10k why would you undervolt your cpu

Thermals for the most part in an ITX case. At stock this thing hit 91 degrees C in Cinebench before I added a fan-shroud for the Noctua cooler, and added Curve Optimizer.

Now this thing hits better numbers and temps with Cinebench with my current setup as opposed to stock.

I'm hitting 11,147 in Cinebench R23 with this setup at a max of 82 degrees, and have consistently higher average all-core frequencies instead of what I was hitting at stock.

Theoretically, I could set a higher boost clock override in PBO2 now that I'm fine in terms of temps, but I'll have to see if the undervolt I've applied still works at a higher boost frequency.

Right now, single core with the undervolt still boosts all the way to the stock max 4.65 GHz, but at a lower voltage of around 1.2ish instead of 1.3-1.35ish at stock.

EDIT: Just as a comparison, at stock with both the 5600x and 2070 Super, I hit a Timespy score of 9620, with the CPU score 500 points lower at stock, compared to with the undervolt.
