Can I increase the speed of my 9900k processor to 5 gigahertz?
Can I increase the speed of my 9900k processor to 5 gigahertz?
Mother Board: Asus Rog Strix Z390-E
Cooler: Corsair H115i Pro
On default configurations (4.7Ghz) using Prime95 for 10 minutes, the 9900k reaches 80-90 degrees. With Cinebench it drops to 70 degrees. Here are the observations about running Prime95. I aim to push it to 5Ghz. Is this a safe approach for my CPU, which already gets quite hot on stock? Please advise.
Cinebench version 15 tends to heavily tax the CPU at 5GHz and does not support floating point calculations. I can operate it at 5GHZ with a 1.350 volt configuration in BIOS. All other tests, such as Cinebench version 10, work smoothly at 1.300 volts and 5GHz. Running Prime95 requires 4.6 GHz to function properly, otherwise it crashes. The processor consumes a significant amount of power—over 185 watts just for the CPU, well above 300 watts overall. My cooling setup consists of a 240mm AIO cooler from Enermax paired with Liqmax2 fans from the Corsair ML series.
I believe that with a better cooler and if you're able to operate at a slightly lower voltage, you won't gain much more performance.
I have identical components, including the same motherboard and processor.
Prime 95 is a floating point test program that shouldn't run at 5GHz with all-core boost enabled. Only non-floating point applications should use all-core boost. This is why manufacturers include AVX offset in the BIOS, which relates to floating point operations.
What is the temperature when the system is idle at a clock speed of 25c? On a CPU-Z CPU benchmark, it typically reaches about 49c to 51c.
when idle it remains at 35-40c and on cpu-z it's 65-70c... mine is corsair h115i pro 280mm but fans spin at 1200rpm... does it really matter?
