Demonstrate high performance at scalable settings
When I run “CINEBENCH R23” to measure CPU performance, I can get a high performance Core i5-12400 with a score of 11253 for multicore and 1661 score for single-core.
While the M.2 heatsink isn’t huge, it can cool a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe M.2 SSD 980 PRO module when combined with an air-cooled CPU cooler like this. Even if “CrystalDiskMark 8.0.4” continues to run and a load is applied, the temperature is in the range of 60 degrees, which is a marginal temperature. Of course, the performance also shows without problems, and sequential access is in the range of 6300MB/s for reading and 4700MB/s for writing.
I tried Overclocking Core i5-12400 with H670 Steel Legend!
I overclocked a Core i5-12400 using ASRock’s “Base Frequency Boost” which allows you to easily set the CPU power limit.
When I ran CINEBENCH R23 in an overclocked state, the multicore score went up a bit. The maximum clock during the test run has been increased from 3790.7MHz to 3990MHz, and the multicore score has improved steadily.
