Is there any guidance on using an Aorus PRO without mastering the i9-9900k?
Hi, I'm looking for videos or guidance on overclocking my i9-9900k with an Aorus PRO motherboard. Since mine is the PRO board, the BIOS settings differ from the Aorus MASTER model. I've heard it might be limited to around 5 gigabits, but I'd prefer a stable speed of about 4.9 gigabits or higher than my current performance. Thanks.
Many people consider it a hobby, it's quite enjoyable to explore its potential and it also indicates your CPU is quicker than most i9 9900K systems. Reaching 5Ghz is impressive but not strongly supported by data. I'm open to trying it, though I notice my i9 10850K heats up and makes noise more as the speed goes up. I'd like a cooler and quieter setup. Can you tell me what CPU cooler you use?
This cooler performs well with high voltages at 5Ghz on the 9900K. It's possible you could get good results with a suitable chip, so it might be worth testing. I'll let someone else know about the Aorus Pro since I'm using MSI.
I've discovered that boosting my core up to 4.6GHz is more advantageous than pushing the core to 5.0GHz. At 4.8GHz, the core speed matches those with powerful cooling solutions running at 5.0GHz in gaming and benchmark tests. The details aren't from a specific guide, but generally, higher voltage and improved cooling are key factors. Also, results may vary depending on your exact i9-9900k model. You might not be able to reach 5.0GHz.
Could you share your current vcore setting and the requirements for achieving 5Ghz performance?
My vcore is 1.22v. I don't require 5.0GHz at all. I was just explaining to the OP that achieving that 5.0GHz isn't necessary for good performance. An interesting piece on the 'psychology' associated with the 5.0GHz figure can be found here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/scie...d2...story.html
