Read this first! CPU overclocking guide and tutorial for beginners Explaining the fundamentals. If you arrived here, it's probably because you're seeking assistance with basic overclocking. Or maybe you're an experienced overclocker curious about any fresh perspectives I might have missed. Be sure, I haven't. This is just meant to... forums.

MCE mode with all cores running at peak 4.9 GHz turbo could generate excessive heat for the NH-D15 on a 9700K system. Check temperatures first using Intel's recommended settings—such as 1-2 cores at 4.9 GHz, 3 or 4 cores at 4.8 GHz, and 7 or 8 cores at 4.6 GHz. A build I assembled for a friend on an Asus board achieved around 68°C under load, so we avoided MCE mode unless necessary for tasks like surfing and using MS Office.
