Question About Overclocking 9700k
Here are your system specifications rephrased:
Your setup includes an Asus ROG Strix Z390-e motherboard with a 9700k CPU, Corsair H100i Platinum AIO, an RTX 2060KO Ultra GPU, and 16 gigabytes of GSKill Titans RGB memory supporting up to 4266 MHz. The power supply is an EVGA 80+ gold 650-watt unit, paired with a Segotep Argus case. Recently, I overclocked my CPU to 5.0 GHz, expecting no problems, but during a Realbench benchmark, I observed that all eight cores never exceeded 3.9 GHz even at full capacity. The UEFI BIOS displays a target frequency of 5000 MHz. I followed several steps in the overclocking process, including synchronizing all cores to 50%, disabling multicore enhancement, turning off CPU SVID, adjusting internal Digi+ Power controls with loadline calibration level 6 and setting CPU current capability to 140%, and setting the core/cache voltage manually at 1.30V. I also enabled both short and long duration settings in the CPU power management. I’ve been using Windows 10 for the first time with this build, after a period of not updating in about seven years. I’m still investigating whether these changes are affecting performance. If anyone has any advice or insights on the matter, please share.
Wow, it seems Toms hasn't been the same. This forum has changed.
