Hello Thunderfap,
I understand you would like to know more information about the Current Limit Throttling that our Intel Extreme Tuning Utility showed in the test performed with your i7-7820X processor. Allow me to help you regarding this question you have.
Basically, Throttling is an action that will allow the processor to lower the frequency to prevent overheating or save power. This action will protect the processor from being damaged.
I will highly recommend you to verify if your heatsink is properly installed. In addition, please double check the airflow in your case that is correctly maintaining the best temperature of your components.

Yes my heatsink is installed perfectly. I have no issues with thermal throttling at all. The temparatures are always below 75 during games and stress tests. which i assume fine for my CPU. let me write here my whole rig maybe it could help you better

Hello, Thunderfap
Thank you very much for the information provided I really appreciate it
.
Please keep in mind that a stress test will make your computer to reach the limit of its components so, if the Throttling reaches "Yes" is just that the processor is protecting the system of any damage.
The components of your computer are perfectly fine nonetheless, since what you are performing is a stress test it is expected that the processor reaches high temperatures.
