Hello, I have recently gotten back into the hobby of flight sims. That's fine and all, but they're taxing on your PC no matter what. Currently, I have a 9600k, paired with a z390 Gigabyte Aurorus Pro Wifi MoBo, 32 GB RAM, and a GTX 1080 ti. First world problem, I know, but I cannot get my 9600k past 4.7. No matter the voltage, all the way up to delivered 1.4v, it doesn't stay stable past 4.7. I've disabled multi core enhancement because I read that can sometimes cause issues. Temps are fine, below 65 even with 1.4v delivered. Some help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Consider adjusting the avx offset to a negative value. If this fails, raising the CPU voltage might be necessary.

Ensure BIOS is updated prior to any actions.

Completed the task. Missed it initially but will attempt it finally. Regarding voltage, definitely no—1.4v is the standard max for Coffee Lake CPUs. Not every 9600k can hit 5ghz, but a failed build could still reach 4.9 at 1.4v.
