Is there a way to give us an option to throttle Credit Detection a bit? I’ve repasted my CPU cooler, cranked all my fans to 100% all the time and made sure my bios is up to date, but I’m still getting a thermal shutdown occasionally.

Next option is undervolting a bit and disabling turbo on my 8700K I guess.

I’m not sure if better cooling will help as it will just turbo boost longer and probably get just as hot.

Something is wrong with your setup then, you should be able to run your system at 100% without triggering thermal runaway.
