Should I maintain these high-performance configurations?
Hello. So I have 15-9600k cpu and corsair h100i cpu cooler. My mobo is tomahawk z390. I connect only the 6 pin cou power connector. There is an additional 4 pin connector. I was wondering if i really need to connect that 4 pin aswell. Also, im getting a stable 5.0 ghz at 1.390V my temperature on load is about 76 degrees. Should i keep these setting. Or is this voltage too high. (I do want my cpu to survive for a long time)
6pin? If you mean 8pin (four+four) EPS? The extra 4pin offers advantages for top-tier overclocks and better power output, though it's not necessary for a standard or mid-range upgrade.
MSI suggests a maximum of 1.43V for a 9600K @ 5GHz.
That’s a bit higher than usual, but I’m okay with it if it works well, as long as it’s stable.
