Hey everyone, I just got a 9700K, an ASUS Z370-A II, and an ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 240 for a gaming upgrade. I've been checking the OC settings and noticed my performance drops to 5.1Ghz (4.9Ghz is the best). I'm playing Furmark, Heaven, and Rise of the Tomb Raider, and the results are better at 4.9Ghz. Raising the OC further lowers FPS. I found a Boosted Media OC guide that helps keep stable performance across frequencies. My RAM is 1080 Ti OC'd and 3200MHz with XMP enabled. Any advice would be appreciated!

No, we haven't run a stress test on the original concept.

You're running OCCT for about 45 minutes without any issues and it's also returning prime numbers.

The maximum CPU temperature under full load is typically around 90°C to 100°C, depending on the component and cooling system.

At maximum capacity, it doesn't experience thermal throttling. The Arctic AIO performs well.
