overclocking i7-9700k results in stable temperatures yet performance issues with the PC or games.
I'm grabbing that water cooler I mentioned earlier from a nearby Best Buy. It's just $129 and I believe it will offer better performance than my fan-cooled setup. I was surprised by how stable the temperatures are when running at 4.7 or 4.8Ghz. I recently played Red Dead Redemption 2 for about 5 or 6 hours, and it handled well—only one core hit reached 80°C while the rest stayed near 75°C. No crashes occurred, even with ultra/high settings. It's safe to say its frequency is around 4.7Mhz, though it fluctuates a bit. Idle temps are excellent. Thanks again!
