How do I hit 5.3GHz on an i9-10900k?
I’d keep it as is. 5.1 everything looks great. 5.3 most likely it’ll create a lot of problems, and the benefits won’t justify the time you’ll invest fixing it.
Sure thing! Here’s a revised version of your message:
Thanks for the help. I’ll give it a shot. What do you think about my new PC? The funny part is I can’t locate a GPU in stock, so I’m still using an RX 5700xt. 20201230_190148_1.mp4
I also noticed those voltages for 5.2 and 5.3 were just to boot into Windows. It's unclear how stable they were since thermally I was hitting into the 90s within minutes, so I gave up. It usually takes about an hour for the AIO to reach heat soak, and even at 1.34v and 5.1, the 360 would be in the upper 80s on Real bench after that time. I don't think 5.2 or 5.3 is realistic for me either.
I played Red Dead Redemption 2 for a few hours just to let it warm up a bit and ran some stress tests for about half an hour. By the end, I noticed the heat buildup because temperatures were rising into the low 80s. For regular use, I think it's fine to leave it that way since I mostly play games on it and the 5700xt shouldn't push past 25% usage. ALSO!! It doesn’t make sense to try such a high clock speed just for gaming, but sometimes you have to. You know?
I understand being late, but I own a Z390 and got my i9-10900k soon after its launch. With the stock OC on the motherboard, all cores run at 5.3 under normal loads. Maybe I was lucky with the chip—I didn’t need to tweak the OC settings. However, I’m running an open test bench setup with a 420mm AIO, so temperature isn’t a concern for me. On full load, I hit around 75 max, averaging 65-70. I’d love to know if anyone found the optimal performance range for your CPU.
