Your GIGABYTE Z390 Gaming X arrived and you installed it. You tried to overclock the i5 9600K to 4.8 GHz, set the voltage manually at 1.340V, and ran a stability test. After about 3 hours and 30 minutes, you noticed a small crack—possibly from the liquid cooler or the motherboard. The voltage seems correct, but you're unsure if it's safe. If you're concerned, consider checking the voltage again and adjusting slightly higher if needed, ensuring stability is restored.

Keep voltage minimal yet consistent. This setting works well for the CPU up to 1.4V during regular operation when temperatures are optimal.

I used Der Bauer's guide (it was in German and I struggled to understand), same settings and he achieved 1.340V at 4.9GHz. I'll test 1.4V next.
