How to boost Intel i9 9900K to 5ghz
How to boost Intel i9 9900K to 5ghz
Hello recently I purchased a 9900K and I'm attempting to overclock... the problem I'm facing is that when I run a benchmark such as Cinebench, the processor drops from 5000Ghz to 4600Ghz. I turned off C-STATE, set AVX to 0, but the GHz still decrease. Any advice? Thanks.
You need to raise the maximum TDP as well. I'm a bit puzzled since you mentioned an i9 but the specs list an i7.
Well TDP refers to thermal design power, but what I meant was the actual maximum power usage. When you locked down your CPU and ran a stress test, it required more power than the TDP specified to keep things stable, so it had to be slowed down. I have the same amount of memory as you do. In BIOS, turn on advanced mode (F7), then navigate to the overclocking section and (I don’t know the exact labels in your BIOS, since I’m not at home) find the advanced CPU settings and check the maximum power consumption. For example, it came out around 300 watts (I think that’s sufficient). I also want to mention that your motherboard isn’t ideal for overclocking, especially for a 5GHz i9 processor—keep an eye on temperatures and voltages.
Cinebecnh isn't an AVX model, making the AVX offset unimportant in this case.
Are you keeping an eye on the temperatures?
The Z370-A Pro is likely the most affordable Z370 board available, featuring quite simple VRM. If the CPU isn't getting too hot, I'd be surprised if the VRM wasn't as well managed.

Mistaken some specs earlier... I'm using a motherboard that's not the MSI Z370 GAMING PRO CARBON. I have two PCs—one for streaming and one for gaming—and the Z370-A Pro is on my streaming rig.
Sorry, I still couldn't fix this "issue".
I applied line calibration and it continues to drop at high frequencies.
