CPU overclock Issue.
CPU overclock Issue.
I have an MSI Z490 Tomahawk Motherboard and i9-10900k. When I first attempted to overclock the CPU to a simple 5.0ghz I configured the BIOS with a vcore of 1.25v, set Short/Duration Power Limits to Unlimited, and adjusted LoadLine Calibration to 4. After saving and booting into Windows, everything worked correctly. However, while browsing on Google Chrome on YouTube I encountered random GPU TDR Errors and Display Driver Crashing. Resetting the BIOS back to default resolved the issue. I’m unsure if I made a mistake or if the overclock was unstable.
Likely to become unstable when overclocked. For detailed instructions, check this guide: https://forums. Remember, overclocking isn't a quick fix—it can take time and patience to get the settings just right on one part.
it's fine, I reset the BIOS to defaults and just set the Core Multiplier to 50x, letting it manage the voltages automatically. it's only a straightforward 5.00ghz all-core overclock, with underload ranging from about 1.28v to 1.34v, and I haven't experienced any problems or instability during the week of gaming. CPU temperatures stayed within the 40c to 56c range.
Btw i have a Corsair H100x AIO Liquid Cooler i ran OCCT but the temps get to 80c very quickly is this anything i should be concerned about? when i ran Cinebench for 10 mins it went to 80c is it normal for this cooler?
Similar to my i9-9900k, this CPU becomes warm under high voltage conditions. The temperature fluctuations are tolerable if they're just occasional spikes, but for extended operation you shouldn't let the temps reach 80-85ºC for too long. My CPU can also run at 5.0GHz, yet I need to supply more voltage than I'm used to, which causes it to overheat during stress tests. To avoid this, I keep it at a steady 4.8GHz and it usually stays below 70ºC.
Can you post a link to your Userbenchmark and Time Spy tests for a comparision?
I would hope my computer was functioning properly. I've been experiencing other issues over the past couple of weeks. I've encountered Random Shutdowns/Reboots, and I'm certain it's not related to the CPU overheating, as I had problems before with my RTX 3080. After replacing it with a Corsair RM850x, I still face shutdown issues. Today, I installed a new power supply from Seasonic and performed another System Shutoff test. It's really disappointing and sad.
Consider adjusting all settings—overclocks, overvolts, timing changes—for CPU, GPU, memory, and motherboard back to their standard values to determine if the shutdown problem disappears. The results in my sig were earned after months of fine-tuning overclocks, voltages, timings, etc.
If you're facing persistent problems returning to stock, it's likely the initial step needed.
