Is my 10900k power supply enough for my needs?
Is my 10900k power supply enough for my needs?
I watched this happen and it all made sense. It's hard to believe we can get that high, let alone hit 5.3 GHz right now. I did some tweaks though, specifically dropping my RAM from 3600 XMP down to 2933 XMP (but turned it off) so everything would boot up cleanly. After that, I kept the CPU running at 5.1 GHz and lowered the voltage to 1.28 volts just to test things out. Turns out it's handling that 1.28 volt range perfectly between there and 1.318 while benchmarking. The temperature stayed around a max of 72 degrees Celsius.
How high is your LLC setting? It stops voltage from dropping too much, but if you go way too high, it can cause problems when the voltage goes back up. Sorry to say that you are using Auto LLC because I cannot tell you exactly which level it is right now. Actually, there shouldn't be a problem since it is only set to 0.3 volts. I wish I knew what the normal setting was for this chip, but it is still very new. Even the Silicon Lottery website doesn't have a full list of settings for all these CPUs yet, they just show one model at a time right now.
Yeah, I tried checking around to see if there are 10900k numbers here. Sadly, no luck yet. The lowest voltage was 1.265v and it got unstable. Even at 1.28v I had crashes during benchmarks again and didn't know why. I switched the memory controller (LLC) from auto to LLC 1. Honestly don't think that made much of a difference since my voltage is still between 1.28-1.318v, but some tests are managing to stay stable now. I'm curious though, I've only been able to run this voltage at this clock speed since I turned down the RAM frequency. I know CPU and RAM work together in a way, but can increasing the RAM frequency affect how much voltage is needed to successfully clock certain speeds on your CPU? Like if you want higher RAM freq, do you need more voltage for the CPU OC (overclocking)? Don't think that makes sense.
