MSI claims that their higher 255W PL1 value will allow for full throttle boost even in the Prime95 AVX stress test with the Core i7-10700 and Core i5-10600. MSI Power Limit Setting Boards Supported Boards

ASUS Performance Enhancement (APE) Boards Supported Boards This will severely affect performance in extended CPU workloads like video encoding or 3D rendering, but with APE, the limits are raised to up to 210W, while MSI allows for an increase of up to 255W, to allow the processor to run at higher clocks than Intel’s specifications.ĪSUS supports APE on a number boards, with most of them offering to raise PL1 to 125W, with only the ASUS ROG Strix B460-F Gaming increasing the PL1 value to 210W, probably owing to its beefier power delivery system than the rest of the boards. With the locked 10th Gen Intel Core SKUs, their TDP is 65W, which will definitely cause the CPUs to throttle quite substantially once the boost time limit is up. How APE and PLS work is by increasing the PL1 value, or what Intel lists in the specifications as the TDP of any given SKU.
