9900k OC and cooling
Thinking about upgrading your 9900k to a 5GZ later, do you think you'll require additional fans besides the three in the Coolermaster H500 case and the Noctua NH-D15?
This configuration ensures all CPU cores operate at the maximum turbo speed (5.0ghz) according to preset parameters.
Advantages: Simple, instant setup, reliable performance, customizable.
Disadvantages: The automatic adjustments consume higher power than needed. Exercise caution when applying this one-click optimization under full CPU load without adequate cooling.
It won't work because the necessary apps for testing voltage stability—Cinebench R20/Aida 64/Prime95—from the OC will cause the CPU to throttle with an NH-D15. Without upgrading the cooler, the only solution is to activate the all-core enhancement option on Asus mobos.
Exactly what enabling the all core enhancement feature does is not specified in the provided context.

In your case, it's preferable to proceed automatically rather than doing it manually.
2) The reason is that when you attempt to find a lower 5.0ghz stable voltage by adjusting settings yourself, you'll still need to verify stability, which the NH-D15 cannot do.
There might be a straightforward guide on YouTube that helps with setting up the system.
It's likely there is, though even with a cooler, the CPU would still reduce its speed due to thermal throttling. After that point, frequency, voltage, and power will decrease. Running Cinebench R20 with XTU monitoring can help you check the voltage usage before and after throttling occurs.
For the standard configurations, there is no guide available to prevent over-throttling your cooler.
