i5 9600k OC
I have an i5 9600k on an Aorus z390 pro, and I'm trying to maximize its performance. However, I can only reach up to 4.8ghz, and I'm using auto voltage since temperatures aren't a concern for me. I hit the multiplier at 51, but after a BIOS check, I see blue screens. I hit 50 and it boots normally, then occasionally I encounter a blue screen even when just browsing. Many people say this CPU can easily run at 5.2ghz, but I find it strange that my 7600k works at 5ghz while mine doesn't. Maybe connecting the extra 4 pins on the CPU power could help? Thanks anyway.
I would link the extra four pins for CPU power. However, it should still work for the 9600k. You'll need to adjust the voltage manually. Auto is configured for the standard voltage. Increase your frequency multiplier to 50 and set your vcore to 1.3. That's a solid beginning. Start the system and perform a stress test. A brief Cinebench run typically shows 90% stability. If the system crashes, raise the voltage to 1.31 and try again. If it completes without issues, lower the voltage to 1.29 and continue.
Well, I've already attempted 5,2 with 1,42 volts manually, and I'm pretty sure I also tried 5ghz with 1,37 volts, but it didn't work. I'm going to connect the extra four pins and see what happens. By the way, should I check the power and thermal limits at the BIOS? Like both 150 watts and temperatures?
Was es dir nicht sofort gekommen, dass ich noch nicht die zusätzliche 4-Pin-Verbindung hatte? Ich dachte nicht, dass es überhaupt einen Unterschied hätte, da ich gerade diesen gleichen Modus und eine wassergekühlte Z390 Phantom Gaming 4 mit 16 GB DDR4 3000 verwendete. Ich bin mit dem Stock-Phantom-App-Controller im Performance-Modus auf 4,8 GHz und Temperaturen von etwa 98°F zufrieden, das ist super. Beim Spielen von BF5 Temos steigt die Temperatur um 10 Grad, aber ich kann stundenlang spielen. Sehr zufrieden mit diesem Zotac 8 GB GTX 1070, der mit einem 9600 6-Kern und Mobo läuft. Ich bin neugierig, ob man die 4-Pin-Verbindung noch nutzen sollte. Ich hatte das Gefühl, es sei Pflicht. Danke! Ich komme aus einer älteren Haswell-Quad-Core mit einem Gigabyte Ford, bei der Einstellungen waren die Details sehr knapp. Trotzdem konnte ich es gut überclocken und sogar Hackintosh-Tests durchführen. Aber es wurde einfach zu langsam. Als ich meine neue Zotac-Karte kaufte, war es Zeit, sie zu verbessern, also baute ich ein komplett neues System und bin froh darüber. Ich möchte aber auch etwa 5 GHz überclocken, weil ich glaube, dass diese Konfiguration das kann – besonders da die Karte wassergekühlt ist und ich schon stabile Temperaturen von 4,8 GHz ohne Abstürze bei Photoshop oder Adobe Premiere erreiche. Ich lerne gerade noch einige Überclocking-Tipps für diese Ausstattung.
1.42v is significantly too high unless you've dealt with liquid metal and have a powerful water or air cooler. There are numerous online guides for your specific motherboard brand (ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, ASRock) and BIOS versions, as the concepts remain consistent across different models like z370/390s.
the recommended setup depends on your specific situation, but generally you should consider the temperature of your liquid metal and cooling system. there are many online guides for different motherboard brands like asus, gigabyte, msi, and asrock, and the bios are quite consistent across models such as z370 and z390. could you tell me what model you have? what cooler are you using? and what power supply do you have? i tend to stay under 1.4 and the extra 100mhz only makes a small difference in benchmark results.

Was there a reason you didn't already have the additional 4-pin connected? I didn't thing it'd even boot if they weren't so genuinely asking as I just built this same could and a water cooled z390 phantom gaming 4 with 16GB ddr4 3000 and I'm getting with just the stock phantom app slider on performance mode 4.8GHz and temps still about 98F which is excellent. When gaming BF5 Temos go up 10degrees is all and I can go for hours. Very happy with this zotac 8gb GTX 1070 paired with this 9600 6-core and Mobo so curious why not plug in the 4pin. I always assumed it was mandatory. Thanks! I come from an old haswell quad-core with a gigabyte Ford which had very littledetails in the settings as to what was what but I was able to overclock it quite well and even hackintosh tit but it just got too slow for me and when I bought my new zotac card it was time to push it to the limit so I just built a whole new system and couldn't be happier but I also would like to get about 5 gigahertz overclocked because I know this board and CPU can certainly handle it especially being water-cooled and I'm already at 4.8 very steadily for days with no crashes whatsoever when gaming and running Photoshop and Adobe premiere etc so I know I can get there I just I'm learning some of the ins-and-outs of overclocking on this setup as well

I did not connect the additional 4 pins cause ive been reading that this is usefull when you oc hungry cpu's like 9900k and 9700k. Do you think that i would solve the problem by connecting the additional 4 pins? Thanks for your reply. Btw, my specs are: i5 9600k, Z390 aorus pro, asus rog strix 1080, 2x8 gb g skill tridentz rgb and an EVGA 650 gq.

Mikezerv asks Nikoli707 about their setup. They mention using an i5 7600k at 1.51 volts, with temperatures around 65°C in winter. The motherboard is Aorus pro z390, the cooler is Corsair H80i v2, and the power supply is an expensive EVGA 650 GQ 80plus gold. They note that running at such high voltage would likely reduce CPU lifespan and suggest checking full specs for more details.
