I have the desktop version. I9-9900k in my Alienware area 51m. It runs @5.1ghz 24/7 only using Alienware control center to overclock it. My temps idle are in the high 20’s ,low 30’s. Game play temps are in the 70’s-80’s. I’m able to benchmark it at that speed and don’t reach the thermal limit . I realize it’s the silicone lottery winner of the year but it’s true , this chip, with this cooling solution runs amazing . I am powering the laptop with two 300 watt power bricks instead of a 300 and a 120 . People don’t believe me say I’m doing some kind of trick and I’ve put up RUclips’s and ran the programs they ask me to run. Definitely the most amazing laptop I ever owned. Just a FYI my last Alienware laptop actually caught on fire , so I know they are heat boxes . I just got lucky this time

Gigabyte Z390 + i9-9900KF: I keep getting stability/crashing issues with 5.0GHz at 1.375v... I tried raising the voltage to 1.39v with same results so I went back to 1.375v at 4.8GHz and I'm stable now. Can't figure out how to get to 5.0GHz reliably. Using a Corsair H115i Pro 280mm, so I'm 28-31C Idle and 59-62C at 100% on Prime95.
Your chip might be unable to hit that multiplier. My i9 is Prime stable with 1.30V in 12k small ffts. Do you use LLC? I set mine to "slight" Vdroop =4th highest (highest and 2nd highest overvolt btw). So it drops around 20mV under load.
Superb tutorial. I’m at i9 - z390 hero xi // 5.0 overclock at 1.3v and stable :o A slightly lower score than u have but I’ll take it! Great job and thank u
Talking about cooling, if u want to overclock ur i9. The Noctua Towers are good too. You dont need a water cooler (for 5-5.1GhZ). Im running 5.0 GhZ at 1.310 Volts, which should get pretty warm already. A custom fan curve on the Noctua NHu12A and it hasnt seen temperatures over 77°C. Even after half an hour prime 95 on 5 GhZ it didnt exceed 77 degrees, and fans were not running at full speed. So if you ask yourself if you really need an AIO for this, no u dont, Noctua got you coveres with their U12A
Noob Plays the rtx ti is the strongest card on the market as of now. Confirmed to perform even better than the rtx titan in some cases and its from nvidia which has always been too expensive tbh. So what do you expect from it, to be cheap ? And the 9900k aint that expensive compared to an noticably older 8700k which is still 350 bucks in most countries compared to 9900k which is at around 500 bucks. AND again the i9 9900k is the best gaming processor on the market to date. You named two top tier high end components from two rediculous pricing companies of course they are expensive. But seen from a wider perspective, the market is very cheap right now. Especially the amd market. Sure, The rx gpus are lacking but the ryzen 5 and the ryzen 7 are real respectable alternatives to the i5s and the i7s. There are really good (bad looking) gaming motherboards. Cheap liquid coolings, nice cheap power supplies from many companies (bequite!, corsair etc) and very good cheap rgb cases for nice looks. I have seen pc build videos this month alone of pcs that ran most new games in high quality 1080p built from around 800-1000 bucks. That’s really not too expensive imo. I built a high end pc myself and spend 2100. and i only did so cause it’s really cheap atm and i think it’s worth it.
I just build my new system a few days ago, and i also opt'd for 9900K along with MSI MEG Z390 ACE. I followed the overclocking tips from this video and it was a breeze to get 5.0 GHz. For cooling, i went for Corsair H150i Pro as i didn't wanna buy a lower end cooler and then regret later (IMO). I have set my CPU core voltage at 1.275 and so far it's looking stable and temps are very much under control (mid 80's while running the AIDA64 stress test. Good luck with your new build!
Good Job. No doubt, there are many other factors & settings worthy of attention, but as you kindly explained in your opening comments, this is a good place to start, and focuses on a few OC basics. The content, was as stated, well organized, and professionally illustrated. Thank-you. On another topic... Now, If we can only get some of our DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software programmers to write ‘optimized’ code to improve problematic ‘Real Time Performance’, during routine playback of complex multi-track recordings, each track, potentially containing, a variety of plug-ins, plus a mic'd or virtual instrument. This unique dataflow, unlike the majority of gaming applications utilized during standard CPU stress testing, often times stalls (even over clocked) CPUs, creating audible (clicks, pops, and annoying timing issues), reportedly due in part, to poor code, targeting or utilizing only a small fraction of Intel's i9-9900 or AMD's flagship processing power. This topic, may not be in your wheelhouse - but it would be great, if folks like yourself, included ‘DAW’ software load testing, such as (AVID’s Pro Tools Ultimate versus Steinberg’s CUBASE Ver.10 versus PRESONUS' Studio One 4 Pro) - against stock & overclocked CPU monster builds of the day, all other high end ram and fast, efficient hardware options being equal for testing purposes. Your 'unbiased' observations, regarding such test results, would be of interest to programmers and thousands of frustrated users, like myself. Perhaps ground breaking content of yet another informative post. Keep on Rock’n. Cheers :)
@@jeffreydesormeaux3539 .. There's a lot more power and memory related items and voltages, in addition I prefer an offset and so on. Stress testing requires more than 5 minutes .. etc.
Why after you change your setting and start stressing your system, on CPUID it shows that some of the vcores are between 1.7v and 2.xv?? Is that normal? I though you manually setted the vcore to 1.375 on all cores.
question is, is 5ghz at 1.248v at load after vdroop or 1.375v idle all the time with extra power and heat on cpu and mobo vrms, worth it over running 4.7ghz(stock) undervolted to 1.1v with drastically lower heat,temps and power
If I can ever get my hands on a 9900K, I'm planning on going with an EK P369 Kit for my cooling. In my environment I don't think anything else will do.
1.375v? Yeah, that's going to create a much hotter chip. Small FFT non-AVX Prime95 testing on my system, air cooled, maxes out at 89c at just 1.32v. You're going to also want to run much more stressful and longer-term tests than just Cinebench (which is mainly a benchmark program). I would love to see a video of the 9900k by you with some test results on Prime95, AIDA64, and even RealBench. Definitely don't just rely on Cinebench... it won't show various instabilities.
Currently running 5.2ghz on all cores with the i9 9900k on z390 aorus master, 3200mhz aorus ram and aorus waterblocked rtx 2080 ti, heighest temps so far 83c, but it does have 2 360mm radiators to stop it melting.
Brian did they do any changes in their bios ? Is it better to work with ? I heard they’re a bit difficult to get used to. I’m really digging this mobo .
and you're not telling us your loadline calibration setting which is more important than volts, realbench needs 2 hours minimum at max memory, 15 min is not enough for stability testing. asus official words.
nice what kind of cpu cooler are you running this 9900k with ? your 27C in windows is damn low comparing to what i am using nzxt z73 AIO cooler and idle is already 32C room temp 26C , and whats your room temp?
Your Radiator doesnt matter at idle. Normaly the Radiator ia good enought the problem is that mot emough heat is taken away from the cpu. Due to bad cooler design or cpu design.
With my Auros Master Motherboard and My i9 9900k im stable at 5.ghz with Enhanced Multi Core Performance Enable. And by default I dint touch the CPU Vcore is set to auto by 1.200V. My Memory frequency by default is 3200 mhz to 3600mhz. Very Stable no other issue. My Custom Loop is Barrow d5 pump. Fan Pump RPM is set normal. Idle CPU Temps 38 to 39 Degrees. The Thermal Paste i used MasterGel Maker New Edition
Good basic OC vid on this chip. I should have the 9900K Friday, but no EVGA 2080ti FTW3 Ultra vid card yet... still waiting for stock to be available. Will do my OC'ing w/ the Asus Maximus 'Hero' XI MB and 16GB of Corsair 3200 mem. Thank you.

have you considered the MSI trio gaming as it has same base boost clock if not 5 more lol >.> but it does run cooler and with these RTX heat issues as is any less heat is a good thing. Just a though as i was thinking of getting the FTW3 but ended up on the MSI as it preforms exactly the same but at lower temps.
Just curious, what RAM are you using? I saw it was rated for 3200. I just ordered this setup with 8x2 Corsair RGB Pro 3600. I’m hoping I won’t have any issues Thanks for the video, not many build videos out for the Aorus Master Z390.
just got this Mom and cpu the other day. Tried doing this last night with your settings and i kept crashing with AID64 at 11min. My Temps never got over 78c. So then i tried gigabyte's OC guide and it should crash from 2min-4min. Maybe i need one of the new BIO's? I did notice that when i was running AID64 my voltage was always around 1.30 It never once got higher than that.
I have the i7 9700k OC x51 to 5.1Ghz all the rest on auto and the cpu doesn't seem to bother or overheating with a simple air cooler max at 70c, is that normal?
You shouldn't set everything else to auto, make sure your voltage doesn't get to high. And is it still 70c after a stress test for a good amount of time? I get about 83c max when running realbench on 4,9ghz with a dark rock 4.
@@lennart3100 It doesn't go above 71c as long as it runs (I have a very good air flow). And the voltage is also very low, it doesn't go above 1.2 ich. Is this normal???
Great job. I've been in the process of getting my parts for my new PC...I9-9900K, Z390 Aorus Master, and the next component is the cooler... I want 5Ghz, but, not comfortable with AIOs, I would prefer an air cooler. I have been doing research but, would like to hear your thoughts. All the best. Cheers.
If you want an air cooler than your best bet is noctua nhd15, I have one in chromax but if I could go back in time I'd probably do the nzxt z53 for my 210i case just bc it looks "cooler". But the noctua is phenomenal & runs very quiet
I'm currently watching this in may 2020 and I just bought a secondhand 9900K system with a Z390 AORUS MASTER. I've installed the latest F11c BIOS and with the default BIOS settings and just XMP enabled I get a baseline of 1664 in CINEBENCH R15. My cores go to a max of 4.7 GHz, none of them go further. Why aren't getting a boost to 5 GHz? And would you consider covering the newest BIOS because they've changed so much, it's very confusing.
i have a z390 a prime, and a i9 9900k and followed multiple videos various times over and over and over again, trying to make sure i didnt miss something, i can't overclock, everytime i restart the computer with the settings set, it successfully boots into windows, and then i instantly check cpu-z to make sure its giving me the overclock, and it isn't, im not receiving 5ghz, im only getting the full 3.6 ghz. i have a noctua nh-d15, and literally any settings i set in the bios with xmp 1 or 2, doesn't absolutely nothing, so what the HECK is going on?? This is getting annoying.
Hi, you are the best!! Clear like water. I own a i9 9900k, mobo aorus máster z390, noctua nh-d14, and I would like to go for 4.6 GHz all cores, is that possible? What voltage should I go for? Cheers!!!!
360mm radiator minimum.. You should run aida64 stress test for 24h at least if you want stable overclock.. But the best test is real time.. Batllefield 1 was very good test
Sorry for the real DUMB question but, why the cinebench redering takes much longer when CPU it's in the OC mode then the "default" settings? shouldn't be the exact opposite?
ay, my cinebench score is ~1550 with single core at 330. think its time for an upgrade B) tho this is R20 not R15 dunno how much that matters. biggest thing im worried about is them temps lmao. rn with a 4820k at 4.5 it doesnt go above 58c with a 280 rad :p
Started watching this video at my PC while using my phone. Looked up and thought my PC had somehow re-booted in to my BIOS, but you were still talking... lul.
I got 5.1ghz at 1.35 and 5ghz at 1.32 im running a 240mm radiator in push/pull and temps are still ok prime 95 gets up to 100 but just gaming stays around 60 so were chilling i ran 5.2 but it needs like 1.375 volts and my cooling isnt enough but im happy with 5.1
I wonder how much time an overclocked cpu will save you effectivly after having so many time-intensive benchmarktests which cost you many days of your life. I once pushed my overclocking on my old pc slightly forward and ended in unexplainable "software" problems although all the benchmarks i did were running perfectly fine. At the end i just pulled back my settings and all problems vanished, so i dont really believe that overclocking saves time because your computer runs faster. If extreme overclocking is your hobby just because of it then its ok, otherwise its just wasting time. Thats why i just do very conservative settings and forget about sqeezing the system.
Overclcoking a modern CPU does not tangibly lower the CPU's life expectancy, 99% of the time the CPU will be well obsolete well before failing, I have a 8 year old I7 920 with a heavy overclock still going strong 8 years on (handed down to a family member). If done correctly there should be no stability issues either.
C-States are automatically disabled, when you turn off the multi-core enhancements. So yes. His LLC is on auto and I guess his power plan on windows is also balanced, as you can see on the core clocks in HWM while idling. They go down to 800MHz.
due to intel's setting to the needed demand. Can change like wild in idle, no worries. But in a stress test it should stay normally on your max set clock or on your lower AVX setting (if not set to auto). I recommend to set AVX to 4600.
I have the same motherboard but the "Ultimate" version. I just have a decent air cool, run the B clock up to 102 and memory on profile 1 to 3264Mhz (Ripjaws 3200) I believe my multiplier is at 47, voltage set to auto. In the OS I use Intel Tune and set core 0,1 to 51 and the rest to 47...I end up stable processing video with the temps in the low 80's. The program I use is XviD4PSP and it has a 10bitLE pixel method that is processor intensive and runs at 50fps+/-, I would like to get that higher because it takes about 45min to 1 hour to process a movie. I have an almost 2000 DVD ISO movie library that I am converting to MP4's @1920x1080p for playing on a smart TV.
I do remember it's done on a Asus motherboards with Intel Core 2 Gen CPUs that the frequency go up and down as it see fit according to different loads. Could it be done here ?
13:13 I was with you until you said that if your overclock passed Cinibench, then it was stable... NO IT IS NOT STABLE!!! You have to put a little bit more stress on the 9900K, for a longer period of time! I am not advocating Prime95 as that is bogus, but an eight hour shift in RealBench, without WHEA errors is as stable as you will ever get. I have had overclocks breeze through Cinibench, but fail after two or three hours in RealBench. So pass the 9900K through that test, if you have no errors, THEN you are stable.
@@02semiata Bogus was the wrong word for him to use, but it's definitely overkill. Nothing you do on a PC will ever replicate a Prime95 workload. The AIDA one and RealBench ones are much more in line with what your computer would be doing whilst rendering, you know "real world" stuff. So long as your chip passes real world stressing, you're good to go.
Nice tutorial..I have a Z370 MB..I think having a Z390 might help for better stability..also I have a Alphacool 120 let CPU cooler on my i7 9700k.. probably need more larger radiator..I have a push pull config on it..any help on this?
who cares. up to 1.45v is fine, if you can cool it. adjust llc to stop spikes over 1.5v. intel max voltage is 1.52v for the chip. i'm running my 9900k at 5.2 ghz with -2 avx offset at 1.425v i could not care less, the chip will easily last 10 years anyway. my old 3770k ran high voltage for 7 years at 5 ghz and still runs perfectly fine in a friends rig at that speed. same voltage, same speed and perfectly stable. stop worring so much haha..
"... if my computer can run Cinebench, 95% of the time, it is stable...". Oh sweet summer child... Try Prime95 26.6 and 29.4 (AVX) blend stress test with 80% RAM usage for 21 hours. If all threads still are running after that, THEN it is stable.
I got mine set to 5,2gHz @ 1,375 volts. When I do stresstest with gpu-z and other programs, they pull up frequenzy to 5,2gHz. But with Aida64 system check that you used, it only tests at 4,7gHz. Why is that? Some setting within program? I have done some heaven and superposition benches and stress tests with different program, and my CPU always lay below 80 degrees. I got the corsair 115i platinum cooler. I got no throtteling at 4,7gHz under 12 minutes of aida test... But I want to see under 5,2 there aswell.
@@rudboi Yes good observation. I actually set the downclock for avx to a value of five as I saw someone do in a overclocking tutorial. If it uses avx that will explain why. Thanks
I bought this MB and CPU. But, when I try to overclock, the best within temperatures I can get is a stable 4.8Ghz across all cores. If I go any higher (4.9Ghz or 5.0Ghz), my CPU cores hit 100c, and concern me that I would burn it out. I have a Corsair H115i Pro cooler, running in Extreme mode (so full cooling). I've run stress tests, and now the highest temps I get are 94c, across all cores. Most applications and game play are fine running 4.8Ghz.
AVX offset - 4 if you stress it with those instructions. Take a look at your load line calibration and maybe lower the voltage on the core a bit my 9900 K does 5.2 @ 1.3 V ( It's delided and i have an overpowered custom loop so temps don't go above 75°C but 4.8 @ +- 100 °C seems high) further if you know what your doing other auto voltages across your motherboard can be set to manual and you can lower those significantly and be stable also you may have a look at your thermal paste if it's spread thin and evenly across the ihs. Good luck
@@mr.needmoremhz4148 I'm trying to undervolt at stock settings to see if I can reduce voltages and temps. Iv ran from 1.15 to 1.225v and keep getting BSODs (usually takes about 2minutes on prime95 at 1.225 before it BSOD). I haven't touched anything aside from XMP and changing the CPU VCore voltages. Am I suppose to change something else? When I put it back to auto everything is fine , I can run prime95 aslong as I like but want to find out the perfect voltages at stock
@@Zaedric Stock setting really depend on the board so i can't really tell what settings you are running on. Also prime 95 with AVX instructruction or without ? With AVX this could be perfectly normal. If you want to undervolt depending on you board use something like adaptive voltage so when your cpu isn't used voltages goes down with frequentie if c step an p states are enabled.
@@mr.needmoremhz4148 I'm totally new to this, I just saw reviews using prime95 as a stress test. I'm not so sure about the AVX but I think it's set as auto in the BIOS settings (Aorus z390 pro). So is there a setting that I should be changing as well or is the CPU VCore the only one?
@@Zaedric First take a look at you stress testing software prime has several version and the newer one use AVX instruction you can turn them off i guess somewhere in the setting. AVX instruction will stress your cpu very much duo to the complexity of them. So you will need more voltage and cooling to run them compared to other instruction @ the same frequency. You could leave everything auto or if you want to dive deeper you will have to man tweak several bios setting this all depends on what you want to achieve and also your cooling solution. Auto should auto regulate your voltage also so you no need to lower it i guess
I am having an issue my CPU VCORE is set to 1.375 V in the bios as you said. But when I open HWmonitor it says the value is 1.464. Does anyone know what it is doing this?
Dude you have the exact same setup as me I running the MSI GODLIKE Z390 with i9 9900K unlocked with Corsair h150i.

@@jeffreydesormeaux3539 Initially ASUS was advertising the Z390's as 8 Phase boards but they're not, and 10 phase on the Z390 Extreme and it's not. They're Fat 4 phase and fat 5 phase.

Hey, when I run cinebench and aida64, my clock values never go beyond 4700 even though the max value in HWMonitor shows 5001. Every utilization is 100%. Temps in mid to upper 60’s! Voltage shows 1.248 even though I set 1.35. What did I do wrong?

@@XavierGoncalves89 If you are going to push it at 5 Ghz, make sure to set the AVX offset on your motherboard to 2, so the processor will run at 4.8 Ghz on all cores instead when applications uses AVX instructions (video encoding application heavily uses that), otherwise the temps will reach up to 100 Celcius when using Prime 95 at the absolute max stress testing.
how do i set the voltage because when i set the voltage to 1.350 for 5ghz it goes to 1.480....how do i lock the voltage....never had this before and ive overclocked many systems,i have a z390 gaming gigabyte do i have to have more than just the 8pin plugged in?
Difference between adaptive vcore and manual. Depending on your UEFI there should be 3-4 different settings for how vcore is set, but there tends to be at least an auto, a manual, and an adaptive setting at least. Adaptive will let you set a target and the VMM will adjust depending on load.

its nearly impossible to stay stable with P95... i have tried all voltage and LLC combos. P95 load is unrealistic. Try RealBench.
some chips just dont get there. you didnt luck out on the silicone lottery
Your chip might be unable to hit that multiplier. My i9 is Prime stable with 1.30V in 12k small ffts. Do you use LLC? I set mine to "slight" Vdroop =4th highest (highest and 2nd highest overvolt btw). So it drops around 20mV under load.
Thank you for this great guide. Easy OC and no time wasted.
Superb tutorial. I’m at i9 - z390 hero xi // 5.0 overclock at 1.3v and stable :o

Good info! Great videos as always.
Is there a video on how you find a good voltage to overclock
Talking about cooling, if u want to overclock ur i9. The Noctua Towers are good too. You dont need a water cooler (for 5-5.1GhZ). Im running 5.0 GhZ at 1.310 Volts, which should get pretty warm already.
A custom fan curve on the Noctua NHu12A and it hasnt seen temperatures over 77°C.
Even after half an hour prime 95 on 5 GhZ it didnt exceed 77 degrees, and fans were not running at full speed.
So if you ask yourself if you really need an AIO for this, no u dont, Noctua got you coveres with their U12A

I have seen pc build videos this month alone of pcs that ran most new games in high quality 1080p built from around 800-1000 bucks. That’s really not too expensive imo. I built a high end pc myself and spend 2100. and i only did so cause it’s really cheap atm and i think it’s worth it.
9900kf coming tomorrow :D
I just got a 9900k!
Keeping it stock, using a corsair aio. And gigabyte z390 board and 32gb ddr4 3600mhz ram
Great video! I'm considering the 9900K in a new build.... Thanks for your advice!
I just build my new system a few days ago, and i also opt'd for 9900K along with MSI MEG Z390 ACE. I followed the overclocking tips from this video and it was a breeze to get 5.0 GHz. For cooling, i went for Corsair H150i Pro as i didn't wanna buy a lower end cooler and then regret later (IMO). I have set my CPU core voltage at 1.275 and so far it's looking stable and temps are very much under control (mid 80's while running the AIDA64 stress test.
Good luck with your new build!
Good Job. No doubt, there are many other factors & settings worthy of attention, but as you kindly explained in your opening comments, this is a good place to start, and focuses on a few OC basics. The content, was as stated, well organized, and professionally illustrated. Thank-you. On another topic... Now, If we can only get some of our DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software programmers to write ‘optimized’ code to improve problematic ‘Real Time Performance’, during routine playback of complex multi-track recordings, each track, potentially containing, a variety of plug-ins, plus a mic'd or virtual instrument. This unique dataflow, unlike the majority of gaming applications utilized during standard CPU stress testing, often times stalls (even over clocked) CPUs, creating audible (clicks, pops, and annoying timing issues), reportedly due in part, to poor code, targeting or utilizing only a small fraction of Intel's i9-9900 or AMD's flagship processing power. This topic, may not be in your wheelhouse - but it would be great, if folks like yourself, included ‘DAW’ software load testing, such as (AVID’s Pro Tools Ultimate versus Steinberg’s CUBASE Ver.10 versus PRESONUS' Studio One 4 Pro) - against stock & overclocked CPU monster builds of the day, all other high end ram and fast, efficient hardware options being equal for testing purposes. Your 'unbiased' observations, regarding such test results, would be of interest to programmers and thousands of frustrated users, like myself. Perhaps ground breaking content of yet another informative post. Keep on Rock’n. Cheers :)
Thank you so much for the simple walk through now I need to find the video that bumped it up a lil more.
I know the Gigabyte Z390 Designare does not have the same VRM as the Aorus Master, but it would be enough to OC the 9900k?
why dont you stress the P95?
Just wondering why you didn't address LLC? Surely calibrating for vdroop warrants at least a mention?

Thank you so much man. Great video!
Why after you change your setting and start stressing your system, on CPUID it shows that some of the vcores are between 1.7v and 2.xv?? Is that normal? I though you manually setted the vcore to 1.375 on all cores.
17:07... hmm, really?! 🤔
question is, is 5ghz at 1.248v at load after vdroop or 1.375v idle all the time with extra power and heat on cpu and mobo vrms, worth it over running 4.7ghz(stock) undervolted to 1.1v with drastically lower heat,temps and power
My exact question as well
Depends on what you do. If you're mainly gaming you might not see much of an FPS difference.
If I can ever get my hands on a 9900K, I'm planning on going with an EK P369 Kit for my cooling. In my environment I don't think anything else will do.
1.375v? Yeah, that's going to create a much hotter chip. Small FFT non-AVX Prime95 testing on my system, air cooled, maxes out at 89c at just 1.32v. You're going to also want to run much more stressful and longer-term tests than just Cinebench (which is mainly a benchmark program). I would love to see a video of the 9900k by you with some test results on Prime95, AIDA64, and even RealBench. Definitely don't just rely on Cinebench... it won't show various instabilities.

Did what the video said and computer won’t boot. Red light on my mobo..
I wonder how much time an overclocked cpu will save you effectivly after having so many time-intensive benchmarktests which cost you many days of your life.
I once pushed my overclocking on my old pc slightly forward and ended in unexplainable "software" problems although all the benchmarks i did were running perfectly fine. At the end i just pulled back my settings and all problems vanished, so i dont really believe that overclocking saves time because your computer runs faster. If extreme overclocking is your hobby just because of it then its ok, otherwise its just wasting time. Thats why i just do very conservative settings and forget about sqeezing the system.
Overclcoking a modern CPU does not tangibly lower the CPU's life expectancy, 99% of the time the CPU will be well obsolete well before failing, I have a 8 year old I7 920 with a heavy overclock still going strong 8 years on (handed down to a family member). If done correctly there should be no stability issues either.
Brian what LLC mode are you using? You disable C states? Thank you.
C-States are automatically disabled, when you turn off the multi-core enhancements. So yes. His LLC is on auto and I guess his power plan on windows is also balanced, as you can see on the core clocks in HWM while idling. They go down to 800MHz.
Good video Bro, I have the same motherboard, can apply this OC guide to a 8700k? you set your LLC on auto instead of turbo , any reason for do that ?
That is my configuration. I have custom liquid cooling 😊
Can you tell me your temperatures, 360 rad?
Why is the clockrate around 800 initially, only, and changing up and down? Mine is at 4700.
due to intel's setting to the needed demand. Can change like wild in idle, no worries. But in a stress test it should stay normally on your max set clock or on your lower AVX setting (if not set to auto). I recommend to set AVX to 4600.
@@creygelz ok, but mine does not change. Maybe between 4698 and 4705. But never lower. Running at 4700 with 1% load.

I just have a decent air cool, run the B clock up to 102 and memory on profile 1 to 3264Mhz (Ripjaws 3200) I believe my multiplier is at 47, voltage set to auto.

13:13 I was with you until you said that if your overclock passed Cinibench, then it was stable... NO IT IS NOT STABLE!!! You have to put a little bit more stress on the 9900K, for a longer period of time! I am not advocating Prime95 as that is bogus, but an eight hour shift in RealBench, without WHEA errors is as stable as you will ever get. I have had overclocks breeze through Cinibench, but fail after two or three hours in RealBench. So pass the 9900K through that test, if you have no errors, THEN you are stable.
What makes Prime95 bogus
@@02semiata Bogus was the wrong word for him to use, but it's definitely overkill. Nothing you do on a PC will ever replicate a Prime95 workload. The AIDA one and RealBench ones are much more in line with what your computer would be doing whilst rendering, you know "real world" stuff. So long as your chip passes real world stressing, you're good to go.

who cares. up to 1.45v is fine, if you can cool it. adjust llc to stop spikes over 1.5v. intel max voltage is 1.52v for the chip. i'm running my 9900k at 5.2 ghz with -2 avx offset at 1.425v i could not care less, the chip will easily last 10 years anyway. my old 3770k ran high voltage for 7 years at 5 ghz and still runs perfectly fine in a friends rig at that speed. same voltage, same speed and perfectly stable. stop worring so much haha..
"... if my computer can run Cinebench, 95% of the time, it is stable...". Oh sweet summer child... Try Prime95 26.6 and 29.4 (AVX) blend stress test with 80% RAM usage for 21 hours. If all threads still are running after that, THEN it is stable.

Came for the puppy clips, left with good info instead.
I got mine set to 5,2gHz @ 1,375 volts. When I do stresstest with gpu-z and other programs, they pull up frequenzy to 5,2gHz. But with Aida64 system check that you used, it only tests at 4,7gHz. Why is that? Some setting within program? I have done some heaven and superposition benches and stress tests with different program, and my CPU always lay below 80 degrees. I got the corsair 115i platinum cooler. I got no throtteling at 4,7gHz under 12 minutes of aida test... But I want to see under 5,2 there aswell.
@@rudboi Yes good observation. I actually set the downclock for avx to a value of five as I saw someone do in a overclocking tutorial. If it uses avx that will explain why. Thanks
I bought this MB and CPU. But, when I try to overclock, the best within temperatures I can get is a stable 4.8Ghz across all cores. If I go any higher (4.9Ghz or 5.0Ghz), my CPU cores hit 100c, and concern me that I would burn it out. I have a Corsair H115i Pro cooler, running in Extreme mode (so full cooling).
I've run stress tests, and now the highest temps I get are 94c, across all cores. Most applications and game play are fine running 4.8Ghz.
AVX offset - 4 if you stress it with those instructions. Take a look at your load line calibration and maybe lower the voltage on the core a bit my 9900 K does 5.2 @ 1.3 V ( It's delided and i have an overpowered custom loop so temps don't go above 75°C but 4.8 @ +- 100 °C seems high) further if you know what your doing other auto voltages across your motherboard can be set to manual and you can lower those significantly and be stable also you may have a look at your thermal paste if it's spread thin and evenly across the ihs.

@@Zaedric First take a look at you stress testing software prime has several version and the newer one use AVX instruction you can turn them off i guess somewhere in the setting. AVX instruction will stress your cpu very much duo to the complexity of them. So you will need more voltage and cooling to run them compared to other instruction @ the same frequency. You could leave everything auto or if you want to dive deeper you will have to man tweak several bios setting this all depends on what you want to achieve and also your cooling solution. Auto should auto regulate your voltage also so you no need to lower it i guess

Difference between adaptive vcore and manual. Depending on your UEFI there should be 3-4 different settings for how vcore is set, but there tends to be at least an auto, a manual, and an adaptive setting at least. Adaptive will let you set a target and the VMM will adjust depending on load.

If you don’t know this you should not be overclocking
I apologize if this sounded harsh. You can easily find tutorials online on how to get into bios. This is fairly basic information. Learn this first, and then move on to more advanced operations
BPS Customs thank you.
this also works on gigabyte aorus Ultra ?
