    "I achieved exactly +1 bin better (100mhz) overall using an Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420mm AIO over my SP91 12900k for day to day use (5.2 all core vs 5.3 all core). Both thermal throttled into oblivion at 5.4 all core and at that stage you will need custom water and a potential delid for both to tame their heat output. ...my sample has asus sp score of 100 on the p cores and 86 on the e cores. Using just the AI overclock and an AIO 3 cores @ 5.7ghz and all core of 5.4ghz. "
