Hello,
does anyone have experience with this topic? I tried as lot of settings but could not get a stable system. I even don't know how to let the cpu consume more than 150 W. There seems to be a magic border...
Cooling is not an issue because of water cooling.
Thanks
Chris

My friends 9900k operates at 5GHz with 1.275V. Attempt to slightly raise the voltage and frequency, boost frequency until it fails during testing, then adjust voltage again.

CPU-Voltage adjustments began at 1.3 and went up to 1.38, aiming for optimal performance as recommended. My concern is about the UEFI-Setting in the OC Tweaker area:
- Where was the 5 Ghz setting located? There seem to be many places to adjust frequencies or multipliers.
- Are there other significant changes needed?
Additionally, the 150 Watt limit remains active; the CPU throttles when it hits that threshold. I've been looking for UEFI settings about a week ago, gathering some guidance from Gigabyte and MSI, but the Asrock UEFI has different labels and options.
