I've been aiming for a 9900K to push it overclock to around 5.5 GHz, and I'm curious if a 360mm liquid cooler could help it hit 6 GHz.

Troll comments aren't allowed. Surpassing 5.2 Ghz with a 9900k isn't likely unless you use special cooling methods.

Given the 5.1Ghz watercooling benchmark for the 9900K, achieving 5.5-6Ghz seems unlikely. However, with ample liquid nitrogen, higher speeds are possible—potentially reaching 7.511Ghz.

I previously encountered a statement suggesting the theoretical upper limit for SOI at non-exotic cooling temperatures was below 6ghz, implying it’s being approached today. Though quite outdated. The claim likely originated when SOI was first developed.

Yes, it can. The statement about your CPU running at 6GHz is valid and may be relevant for performance analysis.

It would be helpful to obtain a CPU-Z or CPUID monitor that displays many of the sensors on your computer, then identify any issues that might be affecting it.

It was a joke once, but Windows used to be known for its outrageous reporting frequency.
