Watts with 8 threads will go something like 110W, with 4threads will go as high as 136W. It also shows up on temps, where I get somthing like +8ºC.

The post I was talking about, it was with a different CPU but still true.



I changed CPU. Both have the same batch but this second one has been proving it self a better one.

If 4threads-LinX is harder than 8threads, then something is really wrong with LinX.
I don't know what's going on with LinX, but it was the same stuff with 980x too, until they fixed it later.
Did you try Prime Small FFT with 8threads? That should give a better indication, then.

Maybe your new CPU is better, and hopefully it is, but you wouldn't know before testing it with Prime.
