Hello, I am a new to pc building and just finished my first build however I see that the 10900k can up to 5.3ghz on a single core yet only see it go up to 4.8ghz sometimes? do I need to overclock to see that clock speed or? current build still waiting for a 3060 or 3070 I9-10900k ASUS Z490-A G.Skill Trident Z 16GB * 2 3200Mhz AIO Cooler Master ML240L V2 RGB EVGA SuperNova 850W *no gpu* (nvidia shortage)

5.3Ghz refers to a single or double core boost speed: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/...0-ghz.html 4.9Ghz represents the all-core boost: https://www.techradar.com/reviews/intel-...ext=What's more impressive is the,was an 8-core chip. Naturally there are minor differences between chips, making 4.8 and 4.9 Ghz roughly comparable. Ultimately it depends on whether you're targeting single-core performance. You could attempt further overclocking, but achieving speeds beyond the current limits isn't assured.

This behavior is typical - the single core boost is uncommon. The standard boost settings on my motherboard are usually 53x with 1-2 cores running, which rarely occurs in Windows. You'll mostly notice brief spikes reaching up to 5.3ghz, but it never lasts long and appears mainly in monitoring logs. 4.9ghz all-core performance is possible with TVB, though it reduces to 4.8ghz when you exceed 70°C. Once you hit the 250W PL2 53s power cap, it drops further to around 4.2ghz. If your board doesn't follow specs, it may stay at 4.9ghz as long as you keep under 70°C, or 4.8ghz if you exceed that. At temperatures reaching 100°C, it will start throttling again.

Thanks a lot—maybe the missing extra 4-pin connector on your motherboard was the issue.

I believe the 8-pin unit can handle around 235 watts or more, but I’m not sure. Either way, it’s still below what you’d typically find in a standard setup without using extreme power solutions like P95.
