Problem with increasing 9600k speed
Problem with increasing 9600k speed
I just bought an i5 9600k with a MSI MPG z390 EDGE AC motherboard and 16 gigabytes of 3200mhz RAM. The core multiplier is at 50, which should give me about 5.0 GHz, and the ring multiplier is set to 47, resulting in around 4.7 GHz. I adjusted the core voltage to 4.2 but switched it to auto because of issues. The BIOS says my CPU runs at 5.0 GHz, but when I boot into Windows it reverts to the 8-46 multiplier and locks the core at 43, giving me about 4.3 GHz. This is my first new computer in a while, and I haven’t done any overclocking recently, so I’m not sure what’s causing the problem. Turbo boost isn’t working, and the CPU is stuck in fixed mode.
Hello, this is my initial post but I believe I can assist you. I recently purchased a 9600k and encountered some problems with overclocking as well. This video proved to be very useful for me:

Reset your BIOS settings back to the default using F5 and begin by enabling an XMP profile. Adjust your vcore to manual and set it around 1.35 as a starting point, avoiding anything higher than 1.4. The rest will be based on trial and error, since each CPU behaves differently and what works for some may not work for others.
Additionally, turning off turbo boost is your primary concern at this time. Keep it enabled.
i cannot go below 1.4, the normal operation of the 9600k is about 1.406V, while the 9700k and 9900k operate much lower, not the 9600k. I also have XMP enabled, which makes it easy to reach 5.0 ghz using the intel extreme tuning utility, but it doesn't show up in the bios, which is confusing.
okay, thanks for that info, my motherboard had evidently decided 1.4 was the ideal scenario, but it seems like i can actually run the cpu around 1.28 V, and its stable, however, my issue remains, that my overclock does not translate into windows, i can re oc in windows using the intel tuning utility, but the OC from the bios, is only present in the bios, though, voltage changes and the cache frequency does change, only the cpu core clock itself doesnt seem to be changing in windows.
It’s really funny. I bought a new graphics card this evening and started experimenting with some settings, only to find out I’m facing the same problem. My overclock is set at 5ghz, but it starts up and immediately drops to 4.6. I hadn’t noticed this before. With the Intel XTU, I can keep it at 5ghz. All the monitoring tools still display a multiplier of 50, even though it never goes above 4.6.
same, no solution has been found yet, even I've shared it on the MSI forums
I discovered the fix on my side. In my Asus BIOS there’s a feature named ring down bin. It’s usually turned on automatically. I turned it off, and now my OC gets stuck in Windows.
