Question I9 9900k overclocking temperatures
The vcore is quite good for overclocking and your temperatures are also acceptable. You should be fine, as you won't encounter those high loads during regular use, particularly gaming. What cooler model are you using? A 280mm or even better a 360mm AIO would help.
The performance has shifted. I'm now running at 1.250 V with 5.0 GHz, but with AVX 2 it slows down to 4.8 GHz during heavy use. I'm planning to purchase an Aorus Gigabyte Liquid 360 Now featuring three 120mm fractal fans and three 140mm prism fans in my case. The setup will likely include one back, two top fans, possibly three more on top, though the exact count isn't certain.
Even better, considering the 360mm AIO, I’d consider the new Arctic Freezer II 360mm AIO I recently purchased for around £69 on Amazon or the Corsair H150i Pro, which is also great. Gigabyte has only recently entered the market and I’m a bit cautious about that. Regarding the Fractal Design Prisma, they perform well too, as I’m currently using them. Here’s a review of the Arctic 280 version and the 360mm model, both equally effective or better... https://www.amazon.co.uk/ARCTIC-Liq...W3QF1M8SNAR&psc=1&refRID=DN9S4T934W3QF1M8SNAR
Thanks for the tips, but I really prefer RGB, yeah, yeah, I'm that person here.

I think the Gigabyte model looks great and from what I found online, they use the same Pump brand (Asetek) as other top AIOs like Corsair and NXZT. The main differences seem to be in the fans and the design. I’m okay with spending a bit more if it makes a difference. Also, since I plan to swap the fans for others, I believe Fractal Prisma is currently the best RGB fan available, offering superior static pressure and RPMs, which means it delivers cooler air more quickly. But I’m not sure, maybe I’m just guessing based on what I read somewhere.
Also, I have a Fractal R6 case with only the fans pre-installed now. And I think I might have adjusted the thermal paste, though I’m not sure if that’s really helping. My temperatures should improve, but I’m not sure yet.
I really get it about the RGB... I’ve also lost my mind over RGB! Don’t worry, it’s like a drug and can take control of everything, but what can you do!

Wow, that really looks great! I hope everything goes smoothly with the Gigabyte. Anyway, I'm keeping an eye on my salary until the end of the month, so I'll check for updates and make a decision then. But honestly, I really like the design, haha.
Ha ha yes, everything went smoothly and I really used the RGB setup... I love the variety of colors! Oh wow, people are going to talk! You won't have any issues with the Gigabyte AIO—it's a solid brand. They're just rebranded versions of standard Asetek pumps, which everyone uses, including Corsair and Thermaltake. Have a great build and enjoy your system!
