: How to push overclock further?
I have a9700k on an asus z390e motherboard. My CPU is currently running at 5000mhz, all cores at 80-90 degrees F. Setting it to 1.270v worked fine the first time. I’ve been told I might have a decent chip, anyone think I could go higher without big problems? I’m not sure what to change next if I try to overclock further.
I did not run intel performer because it felt like I’d need to reverse all the changes I made to overclock my system. I downloaded and ran a real benchmark, and after eight hours I got a lot of result hash matches on one screen. The temperatures on my CPU reached 171 at their peak. I let it run overnight; the screen stayed active and I didn’t see any blue screen issues. I performed a benchmark test, and the overall system score was 197629. I’m not sure if this really matters, but thank you both for your responses. I tried uploading it to ASUS or something similar, but I couldn’t figure out how to load it. Also, I could only use 8 gigabytes of RAM because 16 was a page limit error.
That's a great chip! Congrats, I tend to get the ones that require more voltage.
