Letting our Asus test board take care of the power limits, however, means a constant 4.2GHz under full load. If you stick to the Intel recommended limits that will only last a few seconds, but most motherboards give you the option to let the silicon run at its limits. It's cheaper still, has the same six-core, 12-thread design-thanks to Intel finally lifting the artificial Hyper-Threading embargo-and can still hit a healthy 4.2GHz all-core Turbo clock speed.
The Core i5 11400F just takes it that little bit further.
