Recently, I've tried using XTU to ocverclock my 9600k. There are some issues that I'm having with it, though. The main one being that when I try using per-core overclocking, the cores that I set to run faster rarely exceed the speed of the slowest core. I also have trouble believing the voltage readout of XTU, because I have it set at 1.330 V, but can run fine at 4.9 GHz all-core. HWMonitor says that some cores get as much as 1.455 V. Even when using XTU's built-in readouts, frequency doesn't exceed the slowest core, and processor cache never goes above 4.5 GHz, despite being set to 4.8 GHz. I guess they what I'm asking is if anyone else has had issues with the program, or am I doing something wrong? Here is my parts list: PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU Intel Core i5-9600K 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor $288.50 @ Vuugo CPU Cooler Cooler Master Hyper 612 Ver.2 44.2 CFM Rifle Bearing CPU Cooler Motherboard MSI MAG Z390 TOMAHAWK ATX LGA1151 Motherboard $225.16 @ Amazon Canada Memory Team Vulcan 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory $249.99 @ Amazon Canada Memory Team Vulcan 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory $249.99 @ Amazon Canada Storage HP EX920 512 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive $109.50 @ Vuugo Storage Seagate FireCuda 2 TB 2.5" 5400RPM Hybrid Internal Hard Drive $129.99 @ Newegg Canada Video Card MSI Radeon RX 570 8 GB ARMOR OC Video Card $194.00 @ Canada Computers Power Supply EVGA SuperNOVA G3 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply Case Fan Corsair LL120 RGB LED 43.25 CFM 120 mm Fan $49.99 @ Corsair Case Fan Corsair LL120RGB LED (Three Fans With Lighting Node PRO) 43.25 CFM 120 mm Fans $169.99 @ Best Buy Canada Keyboard Kingston HyperX Alloy FPS Wired Standard Keyboard Mouse Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum Wired Optical Mouse $72.04 @ Amazon Canada Custom EVGA DG-77 Matte Black Mid-Tower, 3 Sides of Tempered Glass, Vertical GPU Mount, RGB LED and Control Board, K-Boost, Gaming Case 170-B0-3540-KR Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total (before mail-in rebates) $1754.15 Mail-in rebates -$15.00 Total $1739.15 Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-05-19 11:22 EDT-0400

The 9600K does not allow per-core overclocking. Only the overall multiplier can be adjusted depending on active cores. Individual cores cannot have different multipliers. https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/intel/core_i5/i5-9600k
