Overclocking at 9900k is quite high and may affect stability or lifespan depending on the system.

I was just wondering what overclocks us non lottery winning are getting? Is there a sweet spot?
The typical rating is around 4.8 AVX at 1.3x speed, but you can boost FFT performance up to 1.3x. At 1.35x, it becomes feasible to game and render smoothly for daily tasks, though running FFT won't be possible (100C+ 250w draw).
Great! He should choose 4.8Ghz and test stability over a few days without stress tests. After that, gradually raise the speed and clock rate.
Currently I'm running at 4.9Ghz @1.325v, with 36c idle and 63c load.
Operating at 5.3GHz smoothly with no problems. Peak performance on prime95 75c at 1.42v, battlefield V around 60.
1.42 volts ensures stability. Functions properly at 1.39 but experiences random crashes after a few days.
