Invite you to admire the Intel Core i5-11400 CPU “on fire” before sacrificing heroically for the sake of … science

The talented photographer Fritzchens Fritz sacrificed the Intel Core i5-11400 chip, letting it “burn up” when running Cinebench R15 without a heatsink attached.

Have you ever wondered how long the Intel 11th generation “Rocket Lake” CPU will live without a heatsink? Recently, famous chip photographer Fritzchens Fritz sacrificed a Core i5-11400, letting it “burn up” for scientific purposes.

Intel Core i5-11400 has 6 Cypress Cove cores running at 2.6 GHz, when boosted it reaches 4.4 GHz and has a TDP of 65 W. Note that 65 W is Power Level 1, when the child The chip is running at the base clock, and in fact, when running the boost, the Power Level 2 is 154 W.

Fritz said he has tweaked the parameters of the CPU to prevent it from automatically shutting down when it overheats. He started by tweaking the clock to 800 MHz, then disabling Hyper-Threading, iGPU, and AVX.

Besides, he also lowered the voltage of VCCSA with an offset of -0,200mV and lowered the RAM clock to DDR4-1333. Fritz conducted several single- and multi-threaded performance tests to see how the chip heats up.

If you look closely, you will see how each kernel reacts differently depending on the running task. Core i5-11400 running at 800 MHz with Hyper-Threading and AVX scored 106 single-core and 116 multi-core in Cinebench R15 software.

Of course, this CPU could not stand the heat and died heroically. But the good news is that Fritz will likely take advantage of it to take great photos, like when he took pictures of the PS5 chip and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X CPU version… chipped.

Anyway, thanks for this investment, giving the reader a better understanding of how the chips work.

Summary of main ideas:

– Chip photographer Fritzchens Fritz sacrificed a Core i5-11400 for testing.

– I have adjusted the parameters of the CPU so that it does not automatically turn off when it overheats.

– Fritz starts by setting the clock to 800 MHz, then disabling Hyper-Threading, iGPU, and AVX.

– Core i5-11400 running at 800 MHz with Hyper-Threading and AVX reached 106 single-core and 116 multi-core points in Cinebench R15.

– Of course, this CPU could not stand the heat and died heroically.
