You're dealing with a common setup challenge. Your i9 9900K OC running at 5GHz can indeed trigger BSODs when Vcore drops below 1.34v, even if VID voltages are higher. The Gigabyte guide you followed likely didn't account for the specific voltage targets needed for stable operation at that frequency. Setting LLC to Extreme might be pushing things too hard. Consider lowering it slightly or sticking to Auto unless you're certain it's safe. Always test with a multimeter and monitor closely.

It's not that extreme for a 9900k, but if possible, boosting the voltage a bit could help and let you test further.

I think the setup holds steady at 1.34, all tests passed. Concerned about the VID cores being significantly higher at 1.42. EDIT. After testing with Cinebench R20, it appears those VID voltages align more closely with my vcore voltage, possibly making this update unnecessary!

The video signal isn't the actual voltage sent to the CPU; it's the VCore value. VID represents the voltage the processor needs. A 1.344V rating is suitable for continuous operation if proper cooling is provided.

Thanks for your question! For a loadline, you can choose one that matches your needs or let the system auto-select. If you have specific performance goals, consider testing both options.
