Hi, I see you're facing some challenges with overclocking your Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Pro Wifi board running an i7 9700K. You're following a guide that seems outdated, as it references an older BIOS version and even suggests settings for a different processor (9900K). After trying some of their recommendations—like adjusting the clock ratio, Vcore, and AVX settings—it seems you hit a roadblock where the system freezes during boot. You’ve reset everything to defaults but still can’t access Windows properly.

Given your current setup with a Noctua NH-U12A cooler, you might want to start cautiously. Consider lowering your clock ratio slightly or reducing Vcore a bit rather than jumping high. Since the BIOS doesn’t show TjMAX or AVX details, focus on stable, incremental changes. Also, once you’re in Windows, weigh the pros and cons of Prime95 versus a more stable power plan—some guides suggest High Performance for gaming, but stability is key. Let me know if you’d like help picking a safe starting point or adjusting values step by step.
