When you run a stress test like OCCT is the CPU throttling or can it maintain maximum clocks? Possibly you are more stable throttled and so not seeing the same instability in synthetic tests.

Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.

CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

not throttling
What exact RAM?
2 x DDR4 16GB KINGSTON 3200MHZ CL22 KVR
More info needed:
- what 500w PSU?
- CPU power limits?
- CPU cooling?
- what are the temperature and power consumption of the CPU like doing those stress tests / benchmarks vs Winrar?
High performance simply prevents your CPU from downclocking, which typically generates more heat and uses more power, but does little else useful. Do you have a verified and valid reason to not be using Balanced on your system, as opposed to “this article said…”?
PSU 500W GAMEMAX 80 PLUS BRONZE VP-500 FAN
CPU COOLER GAMEMAX GAMMA 300 RGB
while benchmarking temps are around 95º, power is 140w
while compressing temps are between 65/75, power is 70w/90w
"high performance" power plan (and other tweaks) are used for realtime audio processing, audio glitches and drops are common to occur if not making these tweaks
now i tried disabling hyperthreading, and the problem is gone even in "high performance"
Disabling hyperthreading basically limits heavy multithreaded performance by about 20%, thus reducing power consumption and heat production.
What are these “other tweaks” you’re talking about? Whenever I see someone disable Hyperthreading as a cure for a crashing problem, I wonder where they’re getting that particular idea from.
I know there are things that can help latency etc for audio, but many of those guides / practices / tweaks are based on old technology and old conventional wisdom that may not apply to modern CPUs. If you see a clear and noticeable difference between having these tweaks and NOT having them on your current specific hardware, then by all means stick with them, but if it’s just placebo or “this is what I’ve always done” then I would first see what it’s like without them… and then take the time to see which tweaks are actually doing something useful.
