Your 9900K video really helped me with OC'n my 9900K. This video really helped me with my 12900K. You make the best videos for overclocking. Keep it up. Be nice to see a video on TVB based overclocking with the 12900K. Thanks for all your help over the years!
Haven’t watched the video yet but i gave it a dumbs up because this is the type of video that I’ve been waiting for … thank you for taking the time to make this 44min video
Well…….at least you talked about the rig components and their role in overclocking. Too many “youtubers” don’t even touch the role that the hardware components play in overclocking stability.
Hi will! Great video! I have an i9 10900K with a MSI Z590 ACE and a Corsair H115i. I have my CPU at 5.2 GHz all cores, with only 1.29 volts! I passed the OCCT test with no errors, it ran for 30 minutes, maximum temperature of the package was 83° C, of single cor was 81° C. I used the same options as you on OCCT. My core voltage was between 1.286 volts and 1.292 volts. I don’t do the OC the way you did. I start with lower voltages, never with 1.4 volts, and if it crashes I raise the core voltage value. I ran Cinebench R23 for 30 minutes and didn’t have any problems! I will run a CPU stress program for 4 or 5 hours to test it for o long period, anyway my computer never crashed when I am playing games. I essentially played rFactor 2, but I have AC, ACC, AMS, AMS2 and they never crashed until now!
Thanks a lot. I've got the same CPU and ASUS z590 plus, but my approach was with TVB profiles, which just didn't work at all as Windows would freeze all the time. I noticed even on stock turbo boosts voltage tends to shoot over 1.5v, maybe briefly but it happens. Thanks to your correct direction, now I have 5.3GHz on idle and 5GHz on full load with 1.4v not drooping below 1.35v even under extreme loads. This was done within minutes after watching this video :)
Most aggravating part is when your motherboard menu doesn't match ours then we have to go looking for answers elsewhere and then come back to your video. Not your fault just saying.
Bro it's literally categorized once you know a little more about overclocking in general you would know where to find it at and what's it under or other nick names seems like your just copy and paste not good you should do your own
Best OC tutorials on youtube! Really love the setup. I NEED to get one of those test benches. Looks really clean. Still need to de-lid my 8700k lol. Will do it one day.
Superb video, thanks! One point I think might have been worth making - these all core AVX stress tests are a lot harder to "pass" often than actually playing games. My system is rock solid when using a sim, even at high detail settings meaning relatively high CPU usage, but won't pass the heaviest of the synthetic tests. The former is of course far more important to me.
I’ve used a similar strategy in my 11700K. I was more aggressive in Vcore, but limited wattage to keep temps in check. Identifying weak cores was important. I will also say my motherboard left to its own recommendations was suicidal and tried zapping my CPU with over 1.6v. It would ignore some parameters and read others. So it felt redundant when locking the OC. I also found that the clock would be unstable when constantly changing. I let it rest for a few days and it was a whole new experience. I went from unstable at stock settings to ripping 5.5ghz two core, 5.3 - four, 5.2 six, and 5.1 all core.
Didn’t know how much was involved. Very informative will, thanks. If I was to ever do this I’d have someone do it pretty confusing for those not tech savvy. You would think though gaming pc’s should already be clocked at max and safe settings
They are. AMD chips ride their limits very well, with PBO providing a very safe overclock. I would not recommend OCing a 11900K in most circumstances as the chip just runs way too hot and we really don't know what the safe voltages for it are.
well done man, Great informational guide to be understood by newbie like i am only started OC about a YEAR ago been watching videos like yours to see what ppl are trying out to diversift from each other and imma got a few pointers from here regarding the PLL cali
was looking through if you had a 10th gen overclock and didnt see one, would anything be different from this generation of overclock to use with 10 gen? i used your passed guide for my 9700k and loved it now upgraded to z490e with 10900k
I followed all the steps...but got nowhere....until I enabled unlimited current, increased long and short power.....only then my 11900KF came to live. It is to be said that ASROCK Steel legend Z490 is not really setup friendly. Thx for the good video!
I'm running a triple 4K setup with rtx 3090 and 9900K. How much of an upgrade is the 11900K in Assetto Corsa? I believe it's pretty single core intensive and the 11900K seems to be a beast for now (I know it's probably best to wait for the 12900K).
I have a 9900ks at 5.3 all core with a 3090, and an 11900k is 0 upgrade for any sim title. Clock speed is all that matters on sims as of today and 100 cores is 0 better than 8 cores. You can just look at cpu z single core speeds and see an oc’d 9900k beats every new cpu. The 11900 won’t really go over 5.3 either other than a couple cores at a time
@@brandodurham What are you cooling your 9900ks with? I have a 9900K delidded and binned for 5.0GHz all core that I bought from Siliconlottery a few years ago. Wonder if I can push 5.3 with the right cooling.
I’m using a 360mm aio in a well vented case. If you turn off hyperthreading you can lower you under load temps a lot, and again with all these dx11 sims they don’t benefit at all from huperthreading. I actually get better and more consistent frametimes with it off. I can push 5.4 all core during the winter months 😂 but too toasty in the summer for 5.4
Respectfully have to disagree with you on memory timings and system performance both inside and outside of gaming. XMP secondary and tertiary timings are terribly loose because they have to work on every configuration out there. I manually tune all memory timings including the RTL’s and IOL’s. It takes some time to balance performance and stability, but well worth the effort.
Great video!!! I need 1.38 - 1.39V for 5.1GHZ To be stable... Kept on getting a IRQ not less than equal in just two games at 1.37v and had to raise it slightly
Great video, thanks so much! In the RealBench testing at about 41:45, does it matter what Memory setting you use? Was leaving it at 4GB fine, or should you pick however much RAM your system has?
@@UsmanKhanSimRacing my 10900k not o/c, RTX 3090 and triple 1440 will knock out between 130-140fps most of the time at max settings in game. There are a small amount of tracks where performance is worse but that’s down to the game optimisation on those tracks (Barcelona as an example)

@@UsmanKhanSimRacing hi Usman yes that’s triple 1440p and a 4th 10inch screen via hdmi that I use as a sim hub dashboard. Nothing remarkable about my Nvidia settings, pretty much have everything turned on to max quality or application controlled. Iracing graphics settings all set to max apart from heat haze because I don’t particularly like the effect. Are you using afterburner and Riva tuner statistics to monitor what’s going on? My graphics card is only at 80% max usage most of the time in iracing. Graphic card temp never goes about 55c and is not water cooled
Late to the party but great video. I could run mine at 5.1ghz @1.42v core with custom loop but still was touch 80° so I switched to 5.ghz @1.375vcore now it touches maybe 75° while gaming, just produces less heat over a gaming session at 100mhz lower. (All core)
Thank you for this! I have an 11900k also so any help getting it to go better in sim racing is a plus. I’ve bought the wrong motherboard it seems. All the guides are using the ROG and I’m using the MSI MEG Z590 ACE (because everything else is MSI in my system). Hopefully I can figure out a translation to my bits.
My system :Rog strix z590 E wifi -11700k -3080 ti palit -3600 mhz . My sytem freezed the second test when we set uo for 5 ghz -1.4 V .What would be a problem ? I have got first time asus motherboard .
I get 5.1 GHz on Ai but when the CPU is pushed to 100 percent use gets to 87 c@1.5v but in games I get 70 to 75c with a Aio setup. I tired the above at 1.4 unfortunately i can't get it stable may try 1.42 next
In my case core VID is for some reason lower than the vcore, and for 5,1 ghs it needs 1,55 volts, but when I make different ratios for core usage and increase them, leaving 5,1 for all 8 cores, it crashes with the same voltage under the load. I don't understand what's going on
Nice work Will!! Any chance of the same kind of video for AMD? I have a 5900x on an ASUS X570-e Gaming, with 32gb of Corsair 3600 RAM, and also an RTX3080 ... all tips on this platform welcome!
On aida64 it gives a hardware error after 1 minute . But in occt does not give an error . I have the same cpu and im already at 5.2 ghz on the cudeo you had 5.5 . When i lower 1 number i lower in all others as well . I dont know how low should i go .
Clear and concise as always Will, I'm still happily running your GPU curve OC on my 1080TI. How relevant will this walkthrough be to an Asus X570p MB with a Ryzen5 5600X? Which is in my current build with the water cooled 1080ti in. CPU is on a 240mm AIO
As usual, an awesome video Will. Its great that you can combine your technical skills with SIM racing. Im just wondering if you are the only person on the planet still using Intel (sticking out tongue emoji)
My newsfeed is constantly full of people complaining about reliability issues with AMD processors. CPU won’t be the bottleneck here so I’d rather stay with what’s reliable. I’d also suggest that the vast majority of Intel users don’t feel the need to shout it from the rooftops so it probably seems skewed.
I must’ve got a dud, I can’t get more than 5.3 out of a single core. On that note, after watching cpu load and clock speeds, it seems like when I’m playing games or doing anything more than idle it seems to always be in all core and never tries to use a single core over the 5.0 anyway. Wouldn’t I be better off just dropping voltage to like 1.365ish and go 5.0 all core?
Great video as always @Will I have a question, I saw your interview with the Asetek creator Andr'e Erikson and feel that is a good product so I am thinking of changing to liquid cooling. I have a low budget simple system I built myself, with a i5-3550k cpu and a nividia gtx 1660s gpu, I can overclock to 4100mhz and run about 60 to 75fps on almost full graphic settings on iRacing (the only gaming I do) but if I then run on up to 4200mhz where I can get over 100 fps the cpu heat gets too high and my system goes unstable. My question, do you think a 570LCS 120mm single fan will give me the little extra I need or should I go for a 240mm setup?
Having OC’d systems for over 20 years, gonna have to say I’m underwhelmed by the 11900K and the available performance on tap. It’s a great video nevertheless in terms of fundamentals that date all the way back 2nd Gen pretty much, but yeah the gains available from an old 2nd or 3rd Gen (i7-3770K for example) are about 3x more significant than what can be squeezed out from 11th Gen. If you own an 11900K, just turn on XMP, if it’s 3600 or less, then make sure you run Gear 1, and off you go.
So we shouldn't try over clocking it? I have an i5 11th gen and ive never overclocked before, I have liquid cooling which is the reason I was going to try overclock. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
@@spitfire1350 I suppose at the time of my comment it was that I felt in practical terms I put alot of effort into overclocking my 11900K and the percentage gains were small. Obviously the 11900K is high clocked out of the box, essentially a binned high clocked 11700K. An 11600K is definitely worth overclocking.
Ok, noob question because i'm new to this. I have an 8700k watercooled custom also with gpu in custom loop and it runs at 5.00ghz with 1.312v, i ve set the voltage to adaptive plus offset. Is it better to have it on auto, on auto i had around 1.212 v and system ran very fine. Also should i disable the intel turbo boost and eist functions from bios now that the system is manually oc'd? Do i need those to be enabled or not anymore? Thanks guys. Any other tips, are appreciated.
When you entered each value of 55, 53, 52 or 51 into the first screen, they didn't line up when you went into the screen with the asterisks next to the two cores. I know those are the two best cores, but you had one core at 55 in the first screen, then two at 55 in the next screen. Please explain. Thanks!
I see the detail that you put into getting to 5Ghz but you skipped to 5.3Ghz when you loaded a profile. I want to see that tweaking process to get to that point.
Another great video . Kinda off topic....But can you tell me the estimated dimensions of your rig? length and width (basically your rectangular dimension from rear seat to front TV panel and right side monitor to left side). Im planning on setting up a sim like this with next level motion and 3 monitors in a smaller room, Really appreciate this.
If you're on Zen 1, your max safe voltage is 1.4V. If you're on Zen+, it's 1.375V. If you're on Zen 2, it's god-knows-what-but-probably-under-1.315-but-this-is-really-dependent-on-your-cooling-check-your-CPUs-FIT-limitsV If you're on Zen 3, just use PBO and tune your curve if necessary.
Looking for OC tutorials over half year. This shows the best way to overclock, especially for Intel 11 gen. Unfortunately, my i7 11700k even crash at 5Ghz 1.45v, so I am wondering if it is safe to try 1.5v. I wanna reach 5 GHz honestly.
will is there a way to contact you? I tried discord but couldn't figure that out....wondering if you can do a video on liquid cooling? I have the asus XIII hero and i9 119090k
an old post, but maybe someone can answer as i have the 11900k. just wondering what the actual FPS difference you see going from the 4.7ghz stock to 5.1, or even 5.5 on one or two cores (if you've been blessed by the cpu gods lol).
For AMD 5000, turn on D.O.C.P, to enable your RAM OC. For the CPU OC leave it on auto. Every video I've seen on AMD CPUs pretty much get the same or better results from auto OC over manual. It's a good option for lazy people like me. :)
@@simmogaming2342 Hey mate, it's going to depend on your motherboard manufacturer, I use Asus so for me it's pretty much in the same screens Will used in the vid it's just some of the options are a little different. If you search YT for your MB manufacturers name and AMD overclock you will probably find some guides. Jays 2 cents has done a few vids on AMD overclocking.
I'm confused as to why your voltage is fluctuating after you set a manual voltage? Unless something has changed with RL it's not supposed to do that. Did you forget to disable SVID? SVID support is supposed to be disabled when manual overclocking.
Well, under load it will still fluctuate due to vdroop and such. But also, I thought CPU-Z was not good for monitoring voltage due to it being inaccurate.
@@riffsthatkill2180 yeah you are right out should fluctuate usually between two different voltages, I think CPUz is ok but despite all the reasons you mentioned in the video I would use adaptive mode. I always disable all Power saving settings but they're is NO reason not to enable adaptive. Or doesn't make it any harder for noobs. Maybe tell them to use manual to find a stable oc then switch to adaptive?
@@Metalhead-4life yeah I never settle on manual mode, almost always I do offset and use the SVID behavior to set the base VID curve. I'll use the one SVID setting that gets me close and then use offset for the fine tuning. I don't use adaptive, mostly because I dont have experience with it although it's similar to offset. The VF curve where you can set offsets for specific ratios is awesome. Usually I only have to mess with the highest one for my OC, so it doesn't impact the other frequencies along the VID/VF curve.
Hum strange, i can only see core 1 to core 4 on Aida 64. there is no option for core 5 to 8 :s Maybe it's due to the free version./ But then i noticed the same in OCCT
I have this exact set up.. For some reason when I ran cinebench my score was lower than the 11900k average at about 12,000 points.. Do you have any idea why? I plan on giving this a shot tomorrow evening if I have time..
Great video Will, really glad you did this. If only you had a Ryzen as I think they do some of this a little different. Even so this was really helpful 👍👌
You should have used Hwinfo instead of CPUZ for this, it would have demonstrated the per core selections far better. I wish Devils Canyon Haswell had specific core ratio tweaking. I can run 4.5 on a non delidded 4790k with a mediocre air cooler very easily at 1.232ish, 4.6 will work in some games but will crash if some loads happen ie. The freezes and changes when changing bulk graphics settings, so that's bad. But, if I set my per core to 1/2 4.6, 3/4 4.5, it works fine and infrequently / rarely will get a bit of usage at those higher frequencies gaming - but I can't choose WHICH gets it.
@@boostedmedia I have 10700k! So I guess not much of the numbers you put in would be the same. I'll do more research of my cpu. I have a Evga motherboard also, Do you have experience overclocking on evga?

I get 5.1 GHz on Ai but when the CPU is pushed to 100 percent use gets to 87 c@1.5v but in games I get 70 to 75c with a Aio setup. I tired the above at 1.4 unfortunately i can't get it stable may try 1.42 next
In my case core VID is for some reason lower than the vcore, and for 5,1 ghs it needs 1,55 volts, but when I make different ratios for core usage and increase them, leaving 5,1 for all 8 cores, it crashes with the same voltage under the load. I don't understand what's going on
You have any videos for overclocking 12900k
Is normal when test stress the usage is not 100% sometimes? One or two cores are example 80% for a bit
I'd like to learn more about overclocking. This is really cool stuff. Do more advanced videos please!
Nice work Will!! Any chance of the same kind of video for AMD? I have a 5900x on an ASUS X570-e Gaming, with 32gb of Corsair 3600 RAM, and also an RTX3080 ... all tips on this platform welcome!
On aida64 it gives a hardware error after 1 minute . But in occt does not give an error .
I have the same cpu and im already at 5.2 ghz on the cudeo you had 5.5 . When i lower 1 number i lower in all others as well .
I dont know how low should i go .
I’m on the same processor w a RTX 3080Ti, started getting memory check error, capped the peaks to 54 instead and put AVX back to 2
Clear and concise as always Will, I'm still happily running your GPU curve OC on my 1080TI.
How relevant will this walkthrough be to an Asus X570p MB with a Ryzen5 5600X? Which is in my current build with the water cooled 1080ti in. CPU is on a 240mm AIO
I'm having major issues overclocking my i7 11700k. I tried following your guide but I'm having zero luck. Any suggestions?
What's your mobo?
As usual, an awesome video Will. Its great that you can combine your technical skills with SIM racing. Im just wondering if you are the only person on the planet still using Intel (sticking out tongue emoji)
My newsfeed is constantly full of people complaining about reliability issues with AMD processors.
CPU won’t be the bottleneck here so I’d rather stay with what’s reliable.
I’d also suggest that the vast majority of Intel users don’t feel the need to shout it from the rooftops so it probably seems skewed.
I must’ve got a dud, I can’t get more than 5.3 out of a single core. On that note, after watching cpu load and clock speeds, it seems like when I’m playing games or doing anything more than idle it seems to always be in all core and never tries to use a single core over the 5.0 anyway.
Wouldn’t I be better off just dropping voltage to like 1.365ish and go 5.0 all core?
Thanks for this video ! I learned so much
By chance do you have a video for a 10700k? Or any suggestions that vary from this video
My Setting is Perfect. ALL-Core Ratio Limit 48 and CPU Voltage 1.285V. 100% stresstest no Problem.
Did Asus get rid of 'Prediction' in Bios? I don't see it in mine?
Hey will, love to see more about fine tuning especially with a GPU rtx3090 etc
Great video as always @Will I have a question, I saw your interview with the Asetek creator Andr'e Erikson and feel that is a good product so I am thinking of changing to liquid cooling.
I have a low budget simple system I built myself, with a i5-3550k cpu and a nividia gtx 1660s gpu, I can overclock to 4100mhz and run about 60 to 75fps on almost full graphic settings on iRacing (the only gaming I do) but if I then run on up to 4200mhz where I can get over 100 fps the cpu heat gets too high and my system goes unstable.
My question, do you think a 570LCS 120mm single fan will give me the little extra I need or should I go for a 240mm setup?
Amazing video. Thank you so much!
Having OC’d systems for over 20 years, gonna have to say I’m underwhelmed by the 11900K and the available performance on tap.
It’s a great video nevertheless in terms of fundamentals that date all the way back 2nd Gen pretty much, but yeah the gains available from an old 2nd or 3rd Gen (i7-3770K for example) are about 3x more significant than what can be squeezed out from 11th Gen.
If you own an 11900K, just turn on XMP, if it’s 3600 or less, then make sure you run Gear 1, and off you go.
i turned on xmp but how do i make sure its running on gear 1? lol
So we shouldn't try over clocking it? I have an i5 11th gen and ive never overclocked before, I have liquid cooling which is the reason I was going to try overclock. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
@@spitfire1350 I suppose at the time of my comment it was that I felt in practical terms I put alot of effort into overclocking my 11900K and the percentage gains were small. Obviously the 11900K is high clocked out of the box, essentially a binned high clocked 11700K. An 11600K is definitely worth overclocking.
in windows you would still need to turn on all cores in msconfig.
Ok, noob question because i'm new to this. I have an 8700k watercooled custom also with gpu in custom loop and it runs at 5.00ghz with 1.312v, i ve set the voltage to adaptive plus offset. Is it better to have it on auto, on auto i had around 1.212 v and system ran very fine. Also should i disable the intel turbo boost and eist functions from bios now that the system is manually oc'd? Do i need those to be enabled or not anymore? Thanks guys. Any other tips, are appreciated.
When you entered each value of 55, 53, 52 or 51 into the first screen, they didn't line up when you went into the screen with the asterisks next to the two cores. I know those are the two best cores, but you had one core at 55 in the first screen, then two at 55 in the next screen. Please explain. Thanks!
I'm guessing you had the aircon pumping ? Because they're good temps for a AIo
Was about 22C ambient.
I see the detail that you put into getting to 5Ghz but you skipped to 5.3Ghz when you loaded a profile. I want to see that tweaking process to get to that point.
Another great video . Kinda off topic....But can you tell me the estimated dimensions of your rig? length and width (basically your rectangular dimension from rear seat to front TV panel and right side monitor to left side). Im planning on setting up a sim like this with next level motion and 3 monitors in a smaller room, Really appreciate this.
VR makes 3 screens obsolete
@@sortstokken1337 YE I HAVE VR...BUT I ALSO LIKE A 3 SCREEN SETUP
Love this! Thanks
Hello
I also have a 11900k and the board Asus maximus XIII
Could you send me a backup of your setup.
Thanks a lot
Will you ever do a more detailed overclocking video for the I9-11900k than this one ?
Probably not. We’ll see.
@@boostedmedia I would love it if you did. My overclock doesn't seem right. Like it's not staying at 5.3 while gaming. Not sure what that could be ?
Would be throttling or scaling based on active cores.
@@boostedmedia any tips on how to get it to stay at the 5.3 ? Really appreciate the replies btw
I repeatedly get the watchdog clock error unless I’m at your basic settings
Is there much difference to ryzen CPUs?
If you're on Zen 1, your max safe voltage is 1.4V. If you're on Zen+, it's 1.375V. If you're on Zen 2, it's god-knows-what-but-probably-under-1.315-but-this-is-really-dependent-on-your-cooling-check-your-CPUs-FIT-limitsV
If you're on Zen 3, just use PBO and tune your curve if necessary.
Looking for OC tutorials over half year. This shows the best way to overclock, especially for Intel 11 gen. Unfortunately, my i7 11700k even crash at 5Ghz 1.45v, so I am wondering if it is safe to try 1.5v. I wanna reach 5 GHz honestly.
I'm running 4.9hz at 1.35 v. Not worth it to chase 5.0
When idle my computer sits at 3500mhz. It only goes to the overclock speeds under load. How do I fix this?
help please, after making the changes, now i can't start Windows anymore, the AMI screen always appears.
strix z590 is enough for a 10700K (4,9-5GHz OC AC)? cooler: X72
On my 11700k whit z490 tomahawk i have stability sistem at 4.8 GHz on fixed mode at 1.25,5 vcore, cstate and turbo boost desable...
will is there a way to contact you? I tried discord but couldn't figure that out....wondering if you can do a video on liquid cooling? I have the asus XIII hero and i9 119090k
My 11900k bluescreens my pc at 0 avx offset, but im able to run All Cores at 5.0. weirdly enough tho since i have a better cooler and the same mobo
an old post, but maybe someone can answer as i have the 11900k. just wondering what the actual FPS difference you see going from the 4.7ghz stock to 5.1, or even 5.5 on one or two cores (if you've been blessed by the cpu gods lol).
will the same settings work on Asus Maximus XIII Apex ?
Overclock guide for AMD 5000 series cpu's please.
For AMD 5000, turn on D.O.C.P, to enable your RAM OC. For the CPU OC leave it on auto. Every video I've seen on AMD CPUs pretty much get the same or better results from auto OC over manual. It's a good option for lazy people like me. :)
@@Unsafe1671 where do i enable Auto OC? I have only enabled XMP so far for ram OC. Everything else standard
Turn on PBO and optimise your curve per core.
@@simmogaming2342 Hey mate, it's going to depend on your motherboard manufacturer, I use Asus so for me it's pretty much in the same screens Will used in the vid it's just some of the options are a little different. If you search YT for your MB manufacturers name and AMD overclock you will probably find some guides. Jays 2 cents has done a few vids on AMD overclocking.
@@thomasni123 is it true the 5000s will have very little to no gain with OC?
I'm confused as to why your voltage is fluctuating after you set a manual voltage? Unless something has changed with RL it's not supposed to do that. Did you forget to disable SVID? SVID support is supposed to be disabled when manual overclocking.
Well, under load it will still fluctuate due to vdroop and such. But also, I thought CPU-Z was not good for monitoring voltage due to it being inaccurate.
@@riffsthatkill2180 yeah you are right out should fluctuate usually between two different voltages, I think CPUz is ok but despite all the reasons you mentioned in the video I would use adaptive mode. I always disable all Power saving settings but they're is NO reason not to enable adaptive. Or doesn't make it any harder for noobs.
Maybe tell them to use manual to find a stable oc then switch to adaptive?
@@Metalhead-4life yeah I never settle on manual mode, almost always I do offset and use the SVID behavior to set the base VID curve. I'll use the one SVID setting that gets me close and then use offset for the fine tuning. I don't use adaptive, mostly because I dont have experience with it although it's similar to offset. The VF curve where you can set offsets for specific ratios is awesome. Usually I only have to mess with the highest one for my OC, so it doesn't impact the other frequencies along the VID/VF curve.
On the 11900 k you need to not go to high on memoryclock since its a shitty gear1/gear 2 chip. Keep it on gear 1, should be a setting for that.
Man i resetted bios settings and restarted and now my pc is running and I just get no connection to my screen. Black screen for 15+ minutes
I had my 10700k @5.2 all core @ 1.32. I can’t get my 11900k anywhere close and boot
can i overclock just i9-11900, without K ?
My pc keep restarting suddenly and shows kernel power 41 error. Tried everything and still no solution. Anyone have any idea about this.
I can't get ai overclock tuner to pop up for some reason
Hum strange, i can only see core 1 to core 4 on Aida 64. there is no option for core 5 to 8 :s Maybe it's due to the free version./ But then i noticed the same in OCCT
So I’ve been checking my voltage while gaming and it’s at 1.3 even though I have it set to 1.4 ?
but when I'm not gaming it goes back to 1.4 volts
I have this exact set up.. For some reason when I ran cinebench my score was lower than the 11900k average at about 12,000 points.. Do you have any idea why? I plan on giving this a shot tomorrow evening if I have time..
My CPU is SP 50 ☹I never have lucky with the silicon.
Great video Will, really glad you did this. If only you had a Ryzen as I think they do some of this a little different.
Even so this was really helpful 👍👌
You should have used Hwinfo instead of CPUZ for this, it would have demonstrated the per core selections far better.
I wish Devils Canyon Haswell had specific core ratio tweaking. I can run 4.5 on a non delidded 4790k with a mediocre air cooler very easily at 1.232ish, 4.6 will work in some games but will crash if some loads happen ie. The freezes and changes when changing bulk graphics settings, so that's bad. But, if I set my per core to 1/2 4.6, 3/4 4.5, it works fine and infrequently / rarely will get a bit of usage at those higher frequencies gaming - but I can't choose WHICH gets it.
11:53 Hmmm... 35x100=5300 🤐
Lol good catch. Meant to say 3500 not 5300.
😂😂😂
Will this reference apply to 11700k?
The basic principle will apply. Numbers will likely be different.
@@boostedmedia okie, thank you very much! I'll try my best. I'm still a noob, hopefully I can do it without issues 😄
I'm watching your videos at 0.75 speed, the content is very helpful but you talk too fast.
I don’t get the option to make or save a profile 😤
My 11900k watchdog time out on all auto settings :/
Let us get a i9-13900K overclock Boosted!!!
Bro you need a better silicon cpu sp62 pretty low
How do I know if im pushing the voltage to much that it is damaging cpu?
Don’t go above 1.4 for the 11900k regardless of temperature.
@@boostedmedia I have 10700k! So I guess not much of the numbers you put in would be the same. I'll do more research of my cpu. I have a Evga motherboard also, Do you have experience overclocking on evga?
@@karniskavva The brand does not matter, voltage is voltage... do not think you can push it much further.
I have seen people actually input values that welded the cpu into the socket LOL..
