CPU Tests

Benchmark numbers are totally dictated by how the boards' firmware translates power limits and frequency for the Core i9-11900K chip.

MSI goes high, cranking up to an average 278W for the chip power alone. Even that is not enough to push it to the top of the multi-threaded charts. From our investigation, MSI is adding too much voltage for a given speed because we know the sample processor can do an average 4.95GHz with up to 40W less.
