The Asus Z390M Prime supports overclocking features.
Hi,
My i7 9700KF is installed on an Asus Z390M Prime. It appears the stability drops when the clock speed goes above 4.7gh - 4.8ghz, causing black screens and freezes that restart automatically. I don’t have a high-end motherboard, but I’m aiming for around 5.ghz. I’ve watched some YouTube videos, but they’re still unreliable. My temperatures are tracked via hwinfo, and the main settings are LLC auto (level 6). The voltage is set high at up to 1.36v, though it doesn’t improve stability. I’m curious if other users have managed similar setups.
Remember that online content often highlights the top .1% of overclocking skills. Most people don’t share details about chips that are considered 'average' or 'poor' at overclocking. Just because a build can reach 5.0GHz doesn’t guarantee the same result for you—each silicon wafer is unique.
Did you begin this project by collecting basic data? You should check your temperatures, voltages, timings, and other metrics (like your video card) at normal frequency.
