Yeah the thermal limit for me seems to be around 4.4GHz.. I wouldnt mind running 4.4GHz 24/24 but i would need to find the sweet spot for voltages in order to prevent throttling. The challenge is, dual 285's also add a lot of heat when pushed, so i have to keep a good security margin on CPU temps. It's the first CPU i've ever had that reaches a thermal limit, for the 10 years i've been watercooling them !
