Hey everyone, sorry if there is already a thread about this, but I've been trying to figure out how to overclock my 9700K on YouTube: https://youtu.be/zVl6pcBD1TI I'm using the exact same CPU settings for all cores at a 4x multiplier. I am slowly increasing the Core IccMax by 5 Amps, but right away I get Current Limit Throttling even though I've increased the amps. What do I do wrong? When I increase the amps, THEN I get a power limit throttling "YES". My Motherboard is an Asus ROG STRIX Z390-F. Thanks for any advice or links to other helpful threads. Cheers, Jack
